I have been watching its arrival for a number of years, and now it has arrived\u2013the transformation of our society from merit-based to status-based.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>This is a major revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom status to contract\u201d was Sir Henry Maine\u2019s description of the rise of a merit-based society in which aristocratic privilege was eliminated and equality under the law instituted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>This revolution has now been overthrown, and we as a society have moved back to status as determined by race and gender.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>If you are a member of an \u201cunder-represented\u201d race or gender, you enjoy \u201cdiversity status\u201d and preference in hiring and promotion just as aristocrats did in the hierarchy of social class.<\/p>\n

TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The new status-based society is everywhere one looks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>For example, the accounting firm, Price-Waterhouse, describes itself as \u201ca culture of belonging.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cUnwavering determination and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion\u201d has achieved a Price-Waterhouse board that is 40% female and 40% racially\/ethnically diverse. Price-Waterhouse\u2019s aspirational goals for 2026 are a 50% increase in the firm\u2019s black and Hispanic\/Latinx workforce, a 50% increase in women, and to have 40% of its suppliers \u201ccertified diverse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notice that Price-Waterhouse does not define its aspiration in terms of having the best qualified work force.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Apparently, Price-Waterhouse thinks that hiring based on merit would be discriminatory and not inclusive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Why does Price-Waterhouse think that white women and non-white ethnicities are less capable than white men?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>If Price-Waterhouse did not think that, why does the firm base its hiring on race and gender status?<\/p>\n

Merit is clearly discriminatory, but it discriminates on the basis of ability, not on the basis of race and gender.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>There always have been highly capable women and non-whites.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Why not hire them on the basis of their merit, not for their race and gender?<\/p>\n

Maybe it is not realized, or perhaps those behind the diversity agenda do, that the reintroduction of status privileges means the death of equality under the law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A legal system of differential rights reintroduces \u00a0status-based law.<\/p>\n

We already see this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Only white people can be guilty of hate speech and hate crimes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Only white people can be verbally abused.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>In many US cities under Democrat administration it is not a felony for blacks to steal, repeatedly, up to $950 from stores without arrest and prosecution. And so on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The fact is startling that the majority white population of the United States is being relegated to second class legal standing.<\/p>\n
