You’re Not Gonna Believe What’s About to Unfold in Asheville
All hands on deck, folks, because Asheville, North Carolina, is about to torch $2.9 million dollars of taxpayer money in the name of “racial reparations.” That’s right, while working families are still trying to maneuver the leftovers of Biden’s inflation, one county is ready to dump millions into one of the most divisive and dangerous social engineering experiments that’s ever unfolded in America.
But what’s really scary is that this isn’t just some random half-baked idea. There’s actually a 170-page report spelling out exactly how they plan to do it, and it’s so much worse than you think.
This is full-blown race weaponization, using hard-earned taxpayer dollars to bankroll left-wing pet projects and keep the political victimhood machine running at full speed.
Former US Dept. of Energy nuclear scientist Matt Van Swol dug into the 170-page report himself, and he couldn’t believe what he found.
Buckle up, folks; you’re not going to believe what Asheville, NC, is about to roll out.
We have a serious problem here in Asheville NC. The county is about to spend $2.9 million in taxpayer funds on racial reparations. I took a deep dive into the 170 page report, and what I found is terrifying. Buckle up, because you’re not gonna believe this.
First up is a “race-targeted housing policy” The plan explicitly calls to “sustain and expand rates of Black homeownership” with “targeted funding” ONLY for the Black populations over three years. Literally a program that allocate benefits by race-ALONE! A clear violation of the 14th amendment, in writing. If you’re a poor white, latino, asian… or any other race, but black… Tough luck. You don’t get the money.
You thought that was bad? Just wait… look at what they want to do for healthcare. One of the recommendations includes a free transportation service ONLY for “expectant Black mothers.” Expectant white, latino, or asian mommas? This money isn’t for you, but you pay for it!
The report is furious that only 14% of total Community Development Block Grants were award to black led non profits… …when less than 10% of the population of Asheville NC is black To eliminate the disparity, the report recommends a “Black Chamber of Commerce” Could you imagine calling for the establishment of a “White Chamber of Commerce”? No, you couldn’t. Furthermore, government entities will support them through procurement and grant funding.
What about hiring? Well, there’s a brand new policy! It is called: “The No Diverse Finalist Policy” TLDR: If there are no diverse candidates, the chair must justify this to HR. This is a real policy they want implemented.
You thought DEI went away? Guess again. If you’re a manager at the City of Asheville, they want you to take a MANDATORY, can’t-get-out-of-it, DEI training course.
Want to be a police officer in Buncombe County? Well. you’ve got to take implicit bias awareness training. Refuse? You’re fired.
You thought it just had to do with adults? No. They want to create direct incentives to treat students differently by race, including tying it to school funding. It explicitly calls for school funding to be linked to “racial equity metrics…” This is insanity.
Then… finally, they just say the quiet part out loud. A shocking admission that all they really want, is more control. By having more control over funding, the Buncombe County government can implement policies…. to promote equity. There it is. The truth.
DEI and reparations aren’t about healing or opportunity. They divide people into permanent categories of oppressor and oppressed and then demand an endless stream of money and power to “fix” a problem they don’t want solved. We’re fully aware of the dangers of DEI. We’ve been sounding the alarm for nearly years. Just look at what this failed, divisive program did to South Africa.
Revolver:
South Africa has been heading towards a collapse for some time now. The process began in the 90s and ran through the early 2000s when there was a mass exodus of white people due to escalating violence, racism, and limited employment opportunities. Johannesburg, the country’s capital city, is a prime example of South Africa’s decline. This once vibrant city, built on a foundation of wealth, has transformed into a bleak wasteland reminiscent of the novel “Lord of the Flies,” overrun by chaos, violence, and despair.
How did Johannesburg, once a shining oasis, deteriorate into a crumbling hellscape within a relatively short span of time? The answer is simple: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI). These globalist buzzwords have deprived Johannesburg of its richness, leadership, and vitality.
And it’s not the passage of time that destroyed this city. It’s liberalism. Two years ago, Revolver wrote a critically acclaimed piece on this very topic called, “South Africa — The First Country Built on “Critical Race Theory” — Officially Implodes”
The Revolver piece brilliantly reveals how South Africa was used as a makeshift testing ground for global initiatives, employing Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as the foundation of a nation. And, as you might expect, it didn’t go well.
Revolver:
The meltdown in South Africa isn’t a natural disaster or a random fluke. It’s a choice. South Africa was the first modern nation to be refounded on the anti-white principles of Critical Race Theory, and now it is reaping the whirlwind of that choice.
South Africa did everything that is being done in America right now. As a hyperdiverse multiethnic, multilingual society, South Africa has followed almost every prescription embraced by the globalist ruling class.
This is about more than riots. This wave of violence will eventually peter out. But there is no reason to be optimistic when that happens. There will be no sense of having survived a calamity, and having a chance to rebuild. When this wave of burning and looting and killing are over, there is nothing to look forward to but the next wave.
The specter of doom hangs over South Africa. The optimism that peaked when the country hosted the 2010 World Cup is now gone. Despite being warned for years about failing water infrastructure, local governments ignored the problem and now the country has routine, severe water crises. South Africa began experiencing rolling blackouts in 2007, and has battled them ever since. Even the government says the blackouts will likely continue for at least five more years. Hint: Bet your money that they last even longer.
DEI and CRT (Critical Race Theory) are so powerful and destructive that they can wipe out an entire country.
So, what’s unfolding in Asheville is bigger than one budget. This is how the left weaponizes race, funnels taxpayer dollars into their political machine, and hides it all under yet another “equity” feel-good label. It’s not about lifting people up. It’s about control.
DEI and reparations aren’t about healing or opportunity. They divide people into categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed” and then require endless money and power to “fix” a problem they don’t even want solved. Because once the victim machine stops running, the money and political power stop flowing, and they can’t have that.
