WASHINGTON POST
— We Can’t Educate Our Way to Racial Economic Equity – Michael Collins
(COMMENT: I worked for GAO’s Chicago office group that audited federal financial industry regulators 1990-1997. In 1992, IIT started a master’s degree program in financial markets and trading. (SEE: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/08/04/IIt-offers-new-financial-markets-graduate-degree/1463712900800/ ) The courses in that program were directly related to the work that the group did. Sadly, I was the only member of the group that took those courses. I earned a master’s degree from IIT in financial markets and trading in 1997. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” so that they could give my Black subordinate my job and my preferred corner office.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Woke Chinese Communist Party. Beijing uses progressive rhetoric to attack Western interests. – Editorial
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats side with Communist China against America.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-woke-chinese-communist-party-11615153949
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Canada, the UK and Australia, three members of the Five Eyes alliance, have recently taken action to put pressure on China. They have formed a US-centered, racist, and mafia-styled community,” said a Feb. 23 editorial in Global Times. “They are becoming a racist axis aimed at stifling the development rights of 1.4 billion Chinese.” The Communist Party-run paper notes that the members of Five Eyes, an intelligence-sharing network, “have a strong sense of civilization superiority.” U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton is a “neo-Nazi and extreme racist” and “the Trump administration is an extremely typical white supremacy government.” By resisting this bloc of English-speaking countries, the editorial concludes, “China is not only defending its own interests, we are also defending the diversity of the modern world.” Note the use of “white supremacy” and “diversity” and “civilization superiority,” which come straight from the progressive critique of America as a country that is “systemically” racist and oppressive. The Global Times editors may be crude but they’ve obviously been reading the New York Times. Their dismissal of Mr. Cotton as racist is what you see on progressive Twitter.)
