We see fruits of this evil obsession every single day.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the pandemic, the media preached that historical racism in the United States disproportionately impacted African Americans. Hollywood bombards us with race-shaming on show after show, using fictional characters to lecture us on the pervasiveness of white supremacy, stirring racial resentment and division in the name of healing.<\/p>\n<p>Emory University tax law professor Dorothy A. Brown has just released her book, \u201cThe Whiteness of Wealth: How the Tax System Impoverishes Black Americans \u2014 and How We Can Fix It,\u201d in which she alleges that the nation\u2019s tax system, along with other American institutions, is rigged against African Americans. She advocates massive wealth redistribution as one solution. She is also encouraging President Biden\u2019s administration to exploit racial arguments to change the tax code.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that she will grant individual interviews only to journalists of color. She slammed the media for not sufficiently addressing \u201cinstitutionalized racism\u201d in their organizations, noting that her decision was part of her lifelong battle to fight for diversity and inclusion. She\u2019s evidently oblivious to the self-contradiction of her position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically,\u201d said Lightfoot. One wonders how Lightfoot and other modern race baiters could stray further from Martin Luther King\u2019s vision of a colorblind society.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most disturbing movement underway in the Left\u2019s crusade to divide us along racial lines is the notorious 1619 Project hatched by activist Nikole Hannah-Jones and writers from The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine. With the stated goals of promoting justice and harmony, this initiative distorts history by demonizing America\u2019s founding and founding documents. It claims that America\u2019s real founding occurred in 1619 with the first documented arrival of enslaved Americans to the colony of Virginia, not in 1776, and that the American Revolution was fought to protect slavery. American Revolution historian Gordon Wood says he is unaware \u201cof any colonist who said that they wanted independence in order to preserve their slaves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s most prestigious colleges and universities are indoctrinating their students with this poison, insisting that America is systemically racist and fundamentally white supremacist and requires sweeping structural reform. This toxic propaganda is also being pushed into parts of America\u2019s middle school and high school curricula.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe overriding lesson\u201d of the project, says The Heritage Foundation\u2019s Arthur Milikh, is that \u201cyoung people must learn to despise their nation \u2014 its Constitution, ideals, economic system, and its Founders. They must resent and reject their past; possess an aggressive, contemptuous, and disobedient attitude toward the present; and strive forcefully to create a triumphant future where the enemies of old are punished, and the innocent finally rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 1619 Project is closely related to the academic movement known as critical race theory, which began among outlying academics in the 1970s but has now insinuated itself into the mainstream of academic and cultural thought. One of its central premises is that white supremacy is prevalent in America and maintains power through our systemically racist legal system.<\/p>\n<p>The ever-growing acceptance of this insanity is evidenced by its presence in America\u2019s military institutions and the seeming powerlessness of those courageously opposing it. Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at the Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado, was relieved from duty because of a \u201closs of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.\u201d Actually, it was because he criticized critical race theory in a public podcast, saying it is very dangerous to our military.<\/p>\n<p>Lohmeier pulled no punches in his comments or in his book, \u201cIrresistible Revolution: Marxism\u2019s Goal of Conquest &amp; the Unmaking of the American Military.\u201d \u201cOur diversity, inclusion and equity industry and the trainings we\u2019re receiving in the military \u2026 are rooted in critical race theory, which is rooted in Marxism,\u201d Lohmeier said.<\/p>\n<p>This bold whistleblower, instead of being praised and rewarded for his candor, was punished and silenced. Lohmeier\u2019s firing was ostensibly based on his injection of politics into his job, but he was merely speaking truth. Only in the Left\u2019s world could criticism of the looming presence of Marxism in the institution dedicated to protecting and defending our national security be considered controversial or political. Punishing Lohmeier for his comments also gives aid and comfort to communist China and other American enemies, which consistently disparage the United States as a racist and civil rights-abusing nation.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be fooled by the Left\u2019s excuses. Leftists will allow no opposition to their extremist positions. Their venomous narrative about our founding is distinctly anti-American and hostile to America\u2019s interests and thus wholly inappropriate and dangerous for the military, which should be focused on defending us, not serving as a laboratory for the left\u2019s pernicious social experiments.<\/p>\n<p>Major kudos to Lt. Col. Lohmeier for speaking out even at the expense of his own interests. That is true patriotism and a model for the rest of us, who must stand up against this concerted effort to undermine America\u2019s greatness, cohesiveness and racial relations.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>David Limbaugh is a writer, author and attorney.
