Manhattan Beach, CA
As I’ve been known to point out, the “equity” that the all-conquering Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE) crusade truly wants is your equity in your home. Current developments in Evanston, Ill., and Manhattan Beach, Calif., are starting to give us a sense of how today’s increasingly antiquarian white guilt will be leveraged into sizable handouts over supposed injustices in the distant past.
We live in an era bizarrely obsessed with real estate transactions of increasingly remote generations. For example, Amazon’s new TV series
Them is about the horrors at the hands of whiteness faced by blacks moving to Compton, Calif., in 1953. For example, the first episode “Covenant” is about the supernaturally sinister power of restrictive covenants, which were abolished in 1948, but their bad juju powers live on, or something.
