     One of the hallmarks of Cultural Marxism and wokeness is the belief that justice can not be attained by treating people equally or even by treating them as individuals. Instead, a \u201cSystem of Oppression\u201d that is proclaimed to be at the very core essence of society is to blame. The \u201cproof\u201d of this is racial<\/a> disparity<\/a> of the \u201coppressed\u201d group being statistically<\/a> worse off vis-\u00e0-vis<\/em> the dominant \u201coppressor\u201d group. This is what has become known as \u201cdisparate<\/a> impact<\/a>\u201d where<\/a> \u201cany variance in [\u2026] statistics involving race vis-\u00e0-vis racial demographic statistics is presumed to be caused by racism.\u201d<\/p>\n
