It’s both though. Honestly, it’s all of us because we’re all privileged in some way.

True, white men are like the Jordans of oppression, whereas white woman are at worst Dennis Rodman, a solid role player.

I mean, it’s nice that some are, but too many are on the sidelines or working against change. What you should do is educate your fellow white women about racial and other social issues. As a deal, I’ll try and educate other men in the black community about women’s issues as well.

And yet right on cue: Net neutrality is repealed. This stuff isn’t a coincidence.

I wish I had your confidence but Nazi Germany was forced to stop “mercy killing” the neuro-atypical after a large outcry and yet it didn’t stop them from carrying out the Holocaust later.

So, if I didn’t speak Khmer and understand in jokes about the geopolitics of Southeast Asia, I wouldn’t be aloud to care about the Khmer Rouge and the US’ funding of Pol Pot’s coalition?

So, the only way to get things done now is electoral politics and voting for Democrats? What about the Civil Rights Movement? They literally changed the makeup of the parties through direct action, getting a president of the “bad” party to support their shit after years of the “good” party doing nothing. The inability…

Good on these people. Someone was saying in another article that the voting public, along with elected officials have let undocumented people down. I agree. This type of thing should be happening whenever injustice occurs, regardless of Trump.

It’s not about “getting rewarded”. It’s about self-examination and striving for improvement. The inability to understand that is why I can’t stand the “All of politics as a horse race” attitude of the Democratic Party’s “pragmatic” wing.

Again, none of the examples you’ve given are things I’ve said. And how is saying, the thing you want is probably going to happen but implying that you should be careful what you wish for anything like making jokes about the KKK? You realize I’m not against humanitarian missions or taking in refugees, right? Yes, maybe…

It’s really interesting that publications informing people about real facts that Democrats do are the reason for them losing elections and not Democrats doing those things. I guess it’d be great f the only media was just run by the DNC and paid to say nice things about them. How has that worked out in other countries?

I mean, please continue strawmanning me. It’s clear you’d rather argue with a weird caricature of what you think all anti-war leftists are than actually address the points I’m making. You do you I guess.

I might be wrong but I think he’s saying that the police higher ups ignoring the oversight is what will push the good ones out.

“Supplying talking points”

No one disputed that.

It’s also NEVER moderates’ fault for some reason when they are often the most apathetic and fact-averse people I’ve ever met.

Where is your proof that progressives were responsible for those things?

I’m sure you’re typing this outside of a detention center you’re going to break into to reunite children with parents.

I liked Bernie but I’ll admit that even he fucked up on this issue.

I mean, you could say that about literally anything since Trump got elected. No one wanted to talk about drone strikes, the war on Yemen, deportations, corruption, crackdown on the free press, etc. until Trump got in. This is honestly a blind spot for people of all colors but maybe white people most of all.
