Many people wonder why conservatives continue to deny that racism still exist.
Judging from many of the responses on this site I wonder
When will liberals stop living in the past? Specifically, when will they accept that they aren't all that stands between a wonderful, tolerant America and Jim Crow?
I was in the room when, during the Democratic convention, civil rights hero John Lewis suggested that Republicans wanted to "go back" to the days when black men like him could be beaten in the street by the enforcers of Jim Crow. I thought it an outrageous and disgusting bit of demagoguery. The audience of Democratic delegates cheered in a riot of self-congratulation.
It's bizarre. I spend most of my time talking...
Given the fact that “intellectual laziness & dishonesty” is synonymous w/ enablers/practitioners of hyphenated-American entitlement in perpetuity, this type of behavior is typical of most pedantic progressives: why bother to take the time to counter an contrary line of reasoning when you can impugn & invalidate the “offending” party by attacking their ulterior-motives for proposing said...
I guess vapid, “Dear Leader” slogans like “Yes we can” translate to “Yes we can…blame whitey in perpetuity.”
Racism prevents nobody from achieving what they are willing to work to achieve.
I live in the south and have been associating primarily with the very blue-collar people, at home and at work, who the left-libs think of as rabid racists. I have heard exactly one comment that seemed to be racist in the past 10 years -- a woman who didn't like the store return policy asked my boss, the store's second in command, to see "the white manager".
Its possible that she meant that descriptively, but the tone was decidedly lacking in respect.
One older woman with the sort of mentality that allowed her to believe that store policy didn't apply to her in 10 years. Such racism as remains in the US is totally irrelevant.
