The Revolt on the Right is actually a civil rights movement.\u00a0 Nobody frames it that way because the revolt is of the people that every other civil rights movement in this country has been framing as their oppressor.\u00a0 This is the civil rights movement that at its core is straight white men.\u00a0 That is the one identity that has no value in the victim identity rating system.\u00a0 Or rather the value is negative infinity.\u00a0 If you possess the three identity components of male white and straight then you can be passed over for a college spot, a scholarship, for a job, for a promotion, for an award and everyone will say it was the right decision even if you were objectively more qualified.<\/p>\n
Now I said it was just straight white men who make up the core of the movement but it is becoming clearer that identity politics can affect other people too.\u00a0 Recent investigations into Ivy League admissions show that Harvard has a policy to limit Asian American applicants even if they are demonstrably more qualified than some of their other favored minority applicants.\u00a0 And the state of women\u2019s sports is beginning to feel the impact of what having actual women compete against so called trans-gender women will mean.\u00a0 Pretty soon the actual women will be completely crowded out of the winner\u2019s circle.<\/p>\n
And look at the recent cases of minorities running afoul of the royal flush of identity politics, the LGBTQ hand.\u00a0 Normally being a black man is a pretty strong position when navigating the Hollywood landscape but Kevin Hart saw this credential trumped when he was hounded out of his Academy Awards hosting gig for having said uncomplimentary things about homosexuality in a tweet a number of years ago.\u00a0 And as the final one-upsmanship situation a lesbian recently was shunned by the LGBTQ community for asking the question \u201cHow are trans-women different from men?\u201d<\/p>\n
But what is happening is an awakening to the fact that straight white men and to various degrees other groups are being discriminated against in the name of fairness.\u00a0 And there isn\u2019t a bit of fairness about it.\u00a0 For decades the people of this country were told that each new identity group needed to be given special consideration to make up for the disparities in wealth or power or acceptance in order to bring the country together.\u00a0 But rather than make the country more united it only stoked resentment and provided an industry in government oversight into every aspect of our lives.\u00a0 School, college, work, housing, social organizations, sports and every business and profession became the target for relentless harassment and micromanagement.\u00a0 At this point we\u2019ve reached the point where freedom of religion has been trampled on to the extent that a wedding cake baker is hounded out of his own business to satisfy the spite of truly evil individuals.<\/p>\n
I think Donald Trump\u2019s campaign may be looked back at as the match that set off the powder keg.\u00a0 Awareness of the situation is growing and more and more regular people are recognizing that they are being abused by a system that\u2019s rigged against them and isn\u2019t fair.\u00a0 And they\u2019re starting to realize that they don\u2019t have to take it anymore.<\/p>\n
To the mainstream media and the democrats this isn\u2019t a civil rights movement.\u00a0 To them it\u2019s just racist people showing their lack of compassion.\u00a0 But I think it is exactly the civil rights movement needed to bring back into balance the rights of the only people allowed to be trampled on by the identity politics cabal.<\/p>\n
The real problem is what to call this movement.\u00a0 All kinds of labels have been circulated.\u00a0 The logic of it is basically Anti-Anti-White.\u00a0 Now, that is a terrible name but the sense of it is there.\u00a0 This is a revolt against reverse discrimination.\u00a0 This is a reaction to the tyranny of the affirmative action regime.\u00a0 This is a push for freedom from the thought police.\u00a0 If I was looking for a symbol that represents the spirit of who is behind this movement, I would take the character in the movie \u201cFalling Down.\u201d\u00a0 A schlub who has been trying to play by the rules all his life and finds that the game is rigged against him.<\/p>\n
