It is difficult to explain to and perhaps unfair to expect from any one born after 1950 to fully grasp the impact that the two decades from 1930 to 1950 of equalitarian ideological pressure forced upon the sciences in America. The entire concept of the nature of man was turned on its head. What had been considered solid, researched theories on race, gender, community, religion and equality for 100 years were flipped over like a pancake. But no other of these were as pressured and distorted to the degree as equality. Because ideological equality was the bed rock of socialism, communism and of the American progressive movement.
The collectivists which included socialists and communists had learned a hard lesson in the first quarter of the 20th century. Against basic Marxist theory, the US labor force strongly resisted communist attempts to agitate the average worker into rebellion let alone revolution. Most of the large manufacturing jobs were unionized or fairly paid with benefits. And communist influences in the large unions were exposed and driven out in time.
The collectivists turned the focus and hopes for civil unrest and revolution upon the American Negro. The Southern segregation of the negro and the more subtle but just as vehement racial attitudes of the rest of the country toward him were exactly the type of gunpowder to explode into racial turmoil and national disruption. The foreign communists of the time aided, abetted and subsidized the so-called "civil rights" movement. It melded nicely with their equalitarian ideas and practices. The emotional propaganda that was spewed out converted thousands of useful idiots to organize "sit-ins", boycotts, marches and finally legislation.
What could be more natural and believable than that a movement calling itself Civil Rights here, Communism in the USSR, Marxism somewhere and Socialism somewhere else would in its strategy focus on the subversion of the social sciences as well as governments? And these "isms" all having the common base of equalitarianism. Quickly the subversion wormed its way into the Protestant churches using a hollow appeal for pity, Christian love and concern for the underdog in order to make the equalitarian fallacy more acceptable. The underdog always portrayed as a victim of some nebulous oppression but never of his own conduct. The negro underdog now to made to appear as the equal in all innate capacity.
The long held and valid American doctrine of equality of opportunity had been subverted into a manifesto of social, cultural, economic and genetic equality. By 1954 this subversion was reflected in the thinking of the Supreme Court and in its judgement by issuing its desegregation order.
None of this was done in accordance with long held, true American values. None of this was even American. A moderate amount of subterfuge may be tolerated for strictly charity's sake. But no American of 1954 or of 2012, now cognizant of the truth, should tolerate any further continuance of this equalitarian treason and should demand its obliteration from our shores. Just what is the original definition of the word, equality?
The true intent and foundation of the American ideal concept of equality is to be found in Jefferson's original copy of the Declaration of Independence. The original words were "All men are born equally free". In addition, Jefferson followed the phrase "All men are created equal" with "they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights .... among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Liberty was given the same importance as equality. The only sense in which equality can exist along with liberty is in the sense of equality of opportunity and equality before the law. Because if men are free they will not be equal and where men are equal they are not free. Just compare the freedom of opportunity in America as derived from the varied abilities of its citizens to the cookie-cutter equality of the former USSR with its absence of freedom. To repeat: liberty and equality cannot exist together. The enforcement of racial equality in the US is in proportion to its loss of liberty. For every set-aside or affirmative action job filled to attempt equality there is the loss of liberty for the applicant not favored.
Also always keep in mind that the Declaration of Independence is not the basis of our government. The Constitution is the basis and in its stated purpose no mention is made of equality.
