I like how almost every single defense of this I've seen are identical to the defense of slavery. "Economically better", "longstanding tradition", "they're better off", and now I can add to that list "not all of them were black people"


I say almost every defense because that Glenn Beck one, that's a new one.

Our country elected a wealthy conman who ran a campaign centered around appealing to the fears of Americans, but its the conman part we should be worried about, not the third of America that voted for him for varying reasons and the third of America that just abstained because what was the point

Surely this will produce a winning strategy where we just crank out ever more detailed web sites about the importance of maintaining the status quo and how radical change is impossible to counter conman narratives. Or yell about Russia a lot. One of those two.

on the surface, it is. but seeing as neolibs go straight to erasure when people point out the fact that there are many people who want economic change that aren't white men, they'd probably find the mental gymnastics to say that it's ok to heckle them for deviant thought or something

Why would this hypothetical "privileged" white male be for an increase in mininum wage, single payer and all the "free stuff"? In theory these sorts of things wouldn't have an effect on him. He'd have access to healthcare, he'd probably life off his dad's trustfund...why would he care?

The people who I've met who had college, healthcare...whatever the gently caress paid for them was generally either conservative or libertarian. Christ, I've told stories about meeting working class Trump supporters parrot typical FDR Democrat lines back at me as to what this country needs to do to improve the economy.

I don't understand how you can even theoretically legislate racism away.

I mean there's ways you can minimize it's impact on day to day life. Anti-discrimination laws, justice reform, housing laws and the like. But you're never going to make some guy in Alabama suddenly less racist. It's something that has to happen on a personal level. I'd also argue that fixing the economy, improving the lives of people would also decrease the amount of anxiety that manifests itself in supporting someone like Trump or various GOP'ers.

What I just typed though...it feels like HRC libs have no interest in doing. They have zero interest in going for broad sweeping changes, rather they were comfortable living in the world that had existed prior to Trump.

I wish when people talked about the "hypothetical non-reforming racist" they'd mentioned Manhattanites more often. The Northeast really gets too much of a pass considered that they are some of the most segregated cities in America.

i love to bring up the fact that Boston is one of the most racist cities in america, mostly when it comes to shaming their sports fans. whether you think there or Chicago is the most racist depends on what you think is worse: out-and-out aggressive racism (Boston), or deep-seated institutional racism (Chicago)

It feels like finger wagging at people, calling them "Bad", "Racist" with ted talks sponsored by Wells Fargo (as a tax write off) is way easier than actually solving problems.

Why would one want to give up their economic privilege? I NEED MY BRUNCH (the person whom attacked me literally had "I would be at Brunch right now" in their twitter header)
