BLM accuses whites it does not know of gaining wealth through oppression of blacks

 Power Line:

The following passage is from a letter that reportedly was circulated by an outfit called Dallas Justice Now (DJN), a “racial equity group.” The letter reads like a parody, but apparently it is not:

We are writing to you because we understand you are white and live within the Highland Park Independent School District and thus benefit from enormous privileges taken at the expense of communities of color.

You live in the whitest and wealthiest neighborhood in Dallas, whether you know it or not, you earned or inherited your money through oppressing people of color. However, it is also our understanding that you are a Democrat and supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, which makes you one of our white allies and puts you in a position to help correct these cruel injustices.

We need you to step up and back up your words with action and truly sacrifice to make our segregated city more just.

Talk is not enough. Commit yourself towards taking action and making sacrifices to correct centuries of injustice. Open up spaces for Black and LatinX communities by refusing to send your kids to Ivy League and US News & World Report Top 50 schools and encourage friends, neighbors, and family members to do the same. Imagine if those hundreds of thousands of spots at these institutions were occupied only by marginalized communities. Imagine the opportunities. We can achieve true equity within our lifetimes but only if white folks are willing to sacrifice their privileges.

This is the pledge “the whitest and wealthiest” are asked by Dallas Justice Now to take:

As a white person with privilege both from my whiteness and my neighborhood I recognize the need to make sacrifices for the purpose of correcting hundreds of years of murder, slavery, discrimination, and lack of educational and economic opportunities perpetrated upon people of color. I understand that access to top schools is a key component in economic and social advancement.

Therefore, I commit that my children will not apply to or attend any Ivy League School or US News & World Report Top 50 School so that position at that school is available for people of color to help correct historical wrongs. If I do not have children under 18 then I will commit to encouraging my white privileged friends, neighbors, and family members with children to sign the pledge and holding them accountable until they do so.

On the DJN website, the Whites are then asked to check one of two boxes:

I am a racist hypocrite.
I agree (to take the pledge).

I suppose that people who truly believe they earned their money by oppressing “communities of color” might, if they feel guilty about it, want to make some sort of restitution. Whether they would (or should) want the restitution to consist of denying educational opportunities to their children is another matter.

In any case, the notion that the average wealthy white earned his or her money by oppressing communities of color is too absurd for even your average White leftist to believe.

...

There is nothing dumber than the belief that people get rich by taking money from the poor.  About the only people that would apply to are drug dealers and pimps.  The rest of the people get rich by providing goods and services that people want and need and are willing to pay for them.  This "oppression" BS is part of the CRT racism narrative and is absurd.  BTW, one of the main reasons to avoid the Ivy League is the prevalence of the CRT narrative at that those institutions.
