Now Even Truth is Racist

Incubated in government run institutions designed to teach regimentation rather than 'rithmetic, our Snowflake Generation, graduated to institutions of "higher learning," has determined that truth is – wait for it – racist.

Of course it is.

So is math, while we're on the subject.

All those years you spent telling your children to "tell the truth," you were actually instilling in them the values of a White Racist Society!

Because according to students at Pomona College, "The idea that there is a single truth" is "a myth," a product of "white supremacy, imperialism, colonization" and "capitalism."

They conclude, "The idea that the truth is an entity for which we must search, in matters that endanger our abilities to exist in open spaces, is an attempt to silence oppressed peoples."

Have you ever heard such hogwash in your entire life?

I must confess, having been brought up with the "racist" belief that language ought to be employed in a way that conveys a coherent message, I'm a little confused.

For example, by "open spaces," do our precious progeny mean places our of doors? If so, then it must be my inner White Supremacist who wonders how they would handle the "subjective" truth that temperatures can reach a level where human life becomes impossible?

"Put on your coat darling, it's so cold outside," says mother. "Racist!" screams the brat, "You're trying to silence my oppressed inner person!"

And what about the claim that "capitalism" perpetuates the intolerable notion of objective truth? Guilty as charged!

After all, capitalism has raised the living standards of the general population higher than any other economic system in the history of the world. That's a truth beyond dispute.

Private property, contract, the price system, and efficient use of resources, creates savings that allow investment, which in turn spawns more industry that hires more people who then have money to buy the things that better their lives. In what way is that racist?

Is gravity also racist? Hard to find a truth more objective than gravity.

Does the level of racism match the degree of certainty? Cats always land on their feet. I must have written that because I hate cats.

Did none of these students' learned professors ever dare educate these mentally challenged nodes on a concept called c-o-n-t-r-a-d-i-c-t-i-o-n? If truth, and the certainty it implies, is racist...then what of the certainty – the truths – that they've uncovered about racism? What stupid little racists Pomona College is producing!

What if they simply don't want to believe in truth?

A is A. We learned that from Aristotle. He must have been a racist.

Finding truth is often difficult, that is for sure. It requires thought, reason, debate, revision, and time. Often, we're unsuccessful despite our best efforts.

But judgment, and the quest for certainty, are essential for human life. We have to evaluate the world around us and act accordingly. That's how successful people function in the real world.

Attacks on truth and objectivity are rooted in the temper tantrums of the emotionally stunted, who spent too much of their childhood on Facebook instead of experiencing reality – the importance of productivity and the rule of law and virtues like honesty and savings and integrity, and a whole assortment of other allegedly racist ideas that lifted generation after generation (of every skin tone) out of the muck and mire created by pre-capitalist, mystical, nonsensical notions like those promoted by students at Pomona College.
