Julia Saville is a student at a Virginia high school who chose to join its Black Student Union so as to expand her awareness on issues of race. Asked by that body, in deference to Black History Month, to produce a work identifying those she deemed to be Black Trailblazers, she chose, among others, Candace Owens. Shortly thereafter she received an e-mail from a fellow student which was in fact sent to the entire staff and student body of her school. It declared that both she and Candace were racists!
Now Candace sees the world in terms Ideas and Values, caring not a whit about the race or skin color of those expounding them. She is the very definition of one who has transcended the venal biases born of Identity. She is the very definition of an “Anti-Racist.” But in the moronic, juvenile, pandering “ethos” promoted by the contemporary Left, every issue is filtered through the lens of Race. Hence, for example, the bizarre insistence that Math and Science are not utterly essential tools in dealing with the realities of the empirical world, but simply White Patriarchal biases. Ironically, the Left is pervasively, compulsively, addicted to seeing the world in racial terms!!
Because Candace believes that all Men are gifted with the capacity to govern their own fate, because she does not believe those such as George Floyd are the helpless victims of systemic White racism, she is herself condemned as a Racist. As, of course, was Julia Saville!
There is no doubt the young lady in question is a “conservative,” having also named Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson as Black Trailblazers. She has, sadly, chosen to leave her school, this entire kerfuffle, which occurred about a week ago, apparently being what she termed “the icing on the cake.”
So sad that ideas and values which are perfectly defensible should lead to the persecution of a sweet young girl. You’ll probably never see this, Julia, but you have an admirer here in the Great White North, a land equally beset by Political Correctness and the sanctimonious certitudes of those who have never really submitted those certitudes to any sort of rational critical analysis.
