Creating an Incentive
With their attacks on “whiteness” , their advocacy of critical race theory and (in the schools) critical race theory that dares not speak its name, and their contempt for notions of color blind interactions among people, “antiracist” leftists have lied outrageously, ignored the fact that people’s character and qualities are individual characteristics not determined by their race, and rejected the liberal principle that judging, condemning, or punishing a person because of his race is wrong. They should stop. Their premises and claims are false, and their doctrines are ethically reprehensible.
They do not seem to be people who care much about truth or are
likely to be influenced by ethical arguments. But they might do well to
consider a pragmatic one. If this becomes a country where their premises and
conclusions are accepted, then people in every group would have a strong incentive
to make sure those representing and favoring their race are the ones in power
judging, rewarding, and punishing.
People respond to incentives.
