In South Africa, Employment Equity and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment are legal methods of discrimination based on gender and race. By law, preferential treatment is given to some.
What this inevitably means is that it is harder for one group - those discriminated against - to get a job, and easier for another group - those discriminated in favour of - to get a job. For ease, I will call these groups White Men and Black Lesbians, respectively. And if White Men find it harder to get a job, then those White Men who do get a job will have to be of a higher quality than their colleagues. And if Black Lesbians find it easier to get a job, then some at least of those Black Lesbians will be of a lower quality than their colleagues.
This is a hate fact. A truthful statement which supports a prejudice. And observing this truth, that White Men are more competent than Black Lesbians, is bound to make more people racist and sexist than were before. This is because the red pill of truth will be taken, as a bitter pill or a suppository, any time you are surrounded by facts you can't ignore. It makes "pretty lies perish".
This came to mind because of a news article from South Africa. You see, it is legal to discriminate. But if you suggest that one of the Black Lesbians benefited from the law, it is illegal. In fact, it is "damning" to do so. Despite its obvious truth. Doubleplus ungood. Please do not commit thought crime any more.
So here's a bonus hate fact for you: Eyewitness News loves Big Brother.
