In science, there are many conservation “laws”. These speak of quantities or measures that stay the same, unchanging, in a closed system, even as the system itself undergoes change.
Take angular momentum. Spin with its momentum, which is an object’s mass times its velocity, recalling velocity is speed married to direction. You have seen conservation of angular momentum when ice skaters spin slowly with their arms outstretched, but spin faster when they draw their arms in.
Perhaps a better example for us is conservation of mass and energy in a closed system. Radiation, for instance. In alpha decay, a chunk of small matter is propelled from a larger mass, with the total mass and the energy (because of the propelling) all staying the same.
Incidentally, these laws are learned by a form of induction, as we have been discussing in Class. They are generalities induced from a handful of particularities. There is no empirical proof these laws hold everywhere and everywhen except by induction. However, that is not our point today.
This is. There is one more conservation law that science has missed, but that I believe exists. And that is the conservation of racism.
Which is to say, in any closed system the amount of racism, like mass and energy, must stay the same at all times. Here is my proof.
As everybody knows, race does not exist, which has been scientifically proved, and that the white race is inveterately racist. Individual whites might not themselves be racist, but these whites all suffer from whiteness, and whiteness is defined as racism. From whiteness comes white supremacy, which is how racism itself is generated.
Think of racism like a form of energy which emanates from whiteness, and where only those of the white race, recalling race does not exist, can suffer whiteness. Which means, of course, only the other races, which also do not exist, can suffer racism, since none of them can generate it, since they cannot have whiteness.
Now, all this being so and even obvious, how do we know that racism is conserved, and what predictions can we make based on that?
Here from 2023 are the average SAT scores by race, which doesn’t exist:
Whites, the only race that suffers whiteness, have a mean of 1082. From whiteness flows racism, which is why, as all know, blacks have a much lower average score of 908. Racism is destructive. But only sometimes.
If total racism is conserved in this closed system, it must mean the scores of some other race or races must increase. Racism must also be constructive. Is that true here? It is. The mean score of Asians is 1219. Racism has caused black scores to drop and Asian scores to rise.
The mean drop from white to black is 174 points, whereas the mean rise from white to Asian is smaller at 137. This would seem to be evidence against racism being conserved. But, seeing there are drops in other races besides blacks, one must remember that SAT scores are not linear. The difference between, say, 1220 and 1219 is much larger than the difference between 909 and 908.
I have done the math. To within a very small margin of error, which can be explained by any number of measurement peculiarities (late tests, missing data, etc.), racism is conserved in SAT scores.
Take sports. Blacks are about 13% of the USA population, but some 53% of NFL players and 70% of NBA players are black. This must be caused by racism, since without racism the percentages would be 13%.
If racism in professional sports, a closed entertainment system, is conserved, we must find that black participation in other sports is depressed. And this is exactly what we do find. Soccer has 8% American blacks, and in the NHL it’s even smaller, not even 1%. And, with one exception, hockey is the top sport.
What about that exception?
Ah, baseball is the final proof. Racism sends all the Hispanics to baseball. And where are the Asians? Badminton and ping pong. Racism is conserved in professional entertainment sports.
Yet this begs the question how? How does whiteness generate racism that forces blacks to be over-represented in football and basketball, two entirely dissimilar sports, but which also keeps blacks from hockey? Why doesn’t whiteness, say, send Asians to the ice, too? Nobody knows.
Just like why, in the closed system of the business world, racism forces Asians to be billionaires yet impoverishes blacks. Why isn’t this reversed with blacks on top? Why is it racism always sends Asians to the top of all standards tests and blacks to the bottom? Again, nobody knows. All these are open research questions.
What we do know is that total racism is conserved. That new conservation law will finally enable us to understand how important racism is.

What you’re not telling us (probably because you’re White, i.e., racist) is that you plagiarized this lesson from a brilliant scientist of color at an Ivy school, where it was delivered to graduate students of color as part of a new curriculum of color.
What will be the end state of all these accusations of racism? Your analysis is fairly well understood now. This isn't 1965 and it is difficult to argue white America is intentionally disanvantaging black America, or indeed Hispanic America. Alas for the race baiters Asian America is not white and has surpassed all, at least in academic achievement. That should end all systemic racism arguments.
But we know it doesn't. Plus affirmative action, discrimination against whites, will continue even when whites become a minority.
So the outcome is one of these:
1. Everyone continues as is, until whites become a tiny abused minority
2. When whites are a minority the then dominant groups will extend the courtesy of quotas to include whites (lol)
3. White America will begin behaving like non-white America and act exclusively in its own interest
Any thoughts? Only in Western nations do the ethnic group that made them safe, prosperous and leading nations stand side and allow obvious abuse, misinformation and lies to be told about them. No rational person would believe Western nations are inherently racist or biased, quite the opposite. When will people assert themselves?
