— College Became the Default. Let’s Rethink That. – John McWhorter
(COMMENT: I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I just barely made it into the upper 20% of my Crete-Monee High School class in 1966. My ACT was only 24. I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years and full-time during the summer in between. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always a) stressed the aforesaid and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted that UIC accepted me in 1966 because I had “White privilege.”)

(COMMENT: How much harm have you, your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, and the rest of your ancestors done to Blacks? The more harm, the more reparations that Democrats will make you pay. According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I took jobs that should have been given to Blacks.

(COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and up-or-out. According to them, if you are/were a federal employee who is Republican, conservative, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or if your ancestors have been in America for a long time, you are a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, disgusting, lazy, stupid, loser, and even worse things if you do not make GS-13 (currently $104,915) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $123,978) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $145,831) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $176,300) by age 40. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. Better yet, I should sue them.)
