The cat's out of the bag. For the last 250 years, people have been hiring "mediocre white men," according to Sah Hershey, a school board member at Wake County Public Schools.

This editor has heard a lot about mediocre white men in recent months. Back in December of 2023, Marc Lamont Hill was stunned watching "a bunch of mediocre White men" dismissing "the intellectual abilities and professional competence of an extraordinarily successful and gifted Black woman" — in other words, Christopher Rufo uncovering rampant serial plagiarism by former Harvard president Claudine Gay. In March of 2024, former CNN host Don Lemon interviewed mediocre white man Elon Musk.

Earlier this month, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she was "tired of the white tears" from the "mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people who historically have had to work so, so much harder." And earlier this week, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said that black excellence scares President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Musk because it reminds them of their own mediocrity.

Elon Musk, of Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, is their idea of a mediocre white man.

Here's Hershey blowing the lid of 250 years of mediocre white men being hired because they're white:

It's the same as calling them the N-word.

He's just another mediocre white man who was put on the board because of his skin color.

Uh oh.

He's taking up a seat that could be held by a more qualified black woman.

He shouldn't be employable under his rules.
