Surge Summary: While spouting tributes to “unity”, President Biden continues to charge America with “systemic racism” and stokes the flames critical race theory and of “racial equity” (a Marxist-tinged idea.) What ever happened to MLK’s idea of a color-blind society.   

by Gary Bauer

Yesterday, President Biden signed a series of executive orders intended to address “systemic racism,” which he insisted, “has plagued our nation for far too long.”

Biden again lamented, “We have never fully lived up to the founding principles of this nation,” and declared, “our soul will be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to persist.”

While attempting to unite us around the far-left concept of “racial equity” (very different from equal opportunity), Biden proceeded to divide us into the usual left-wing blocs of “people of color, Americans with disabilities, LGBTQ Americans, religious minorities,” etc., etc.

By the way, while Biden was once again bashing America for its systemic racism, another police officer was shot in New York.  Last week, a police officer in Toledo, Ohio, was shot and killed.

Biden could have used his remarks to denounce violence against law enforcement officers, many of whom are minorities putting their lives at risk to keep our streets safe.

But he was too busy denouncing America and pushing critical race theory into every federal agency.  It has already infected our universities and many local public schools, with teachers telling our kids that they (and by extension their parents) are racists and too “blind” to see it.

We are now far removed from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of a society where we do not judge people on the color of their skin but the content of their character.  Now the left asserts that race is the only thing that matters.

Remember Kamala Harris’s much-maligned video where she declared, “Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place”?  That’s Marxism.  America is about equality of opportunity, not equality of results.

This “systemically racist” nation has elected a black president and a black vice president.  We have had a black attorney general and black Supreme Court justices.  Many of our major cities, including our nation’s capital, are led by black mayors, police chiefs and city councils.

Yet to the left, this progress is never seen as evidence that America is a good and decent country.  It is continually doubling down on the idea that America is racist to its core.
