I have to disagree, respectfully. For example, when motives are things like extreme politicial or religious beliefs, I think its important to expose exactly what that type of mentality reaps. Out of the horror of the shooting in Charleston, a much-needed conversation happened about “Southern pride” and ”heritage.”…

Let’s not talk about the killer’s motive here. MOTIVE DOES NOT MATTER.

I hate all of these

UM

BUT IF YOU CAN JOKE ABOUT BEING A RAPE SURVIVOR

WHY CAN I NOT JOKE ABOUT HOW FUNNY RAPE IS

WHY ARE THESE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS NOT THE SAME THING

NUANCE AND CONTEXT ARE POLITICALLY CORRECT LIE WORDS

So sadly right, and when it’s easier to do nothing and be an apologist, that’s what people will do. Just another aspect of white privilege.

I always think, what if there was an Anarchist party (maybe there is, I’m sure I’ll be corrected in a minute) and some supporter said “Hey, you guys, stop with the insurgency and agitation - we should all rally behind this one guy.”

Why is it so fucking difficult for white people to understand how condescending it is to think their ostensibly progressive politics inures them from issues of race?

“The outrageous responses of white liberals to this is far more damning than the original protest - a nerve was hit, with good reason.”

Thank you. This is White Privilege at its finest. White liberal also used to yell at MLK Jr. and others for criticizing LBJ. Before that, they yelled at black leaders who criticized FDR. Going back further than that, they mocked Frederick Douglass for being highly critical of Lincoln. Each time, the sentiment is the…

No, but Sanders supporters sure as shit have been saying it, more or less non-stop.

Bernie Sanders also wasn’t being vocal about black issues in this country which is exactly what America needs in a President. Economic inequality doesn’t emcompass all black issues.

No. I think the issue is COMPOUNDED by economic inequality. But a poor black person and a poor white person do not face the same challenges. Just like a rich black person faces challenges and obstacles that a white rich person would never face. But I agree that the problems of race are compounded by people fighting…

I disagree. It’s getting us (white liberal progressives) to look long at hard at ourselves and this mentality of “Oh, I’m liberal, so I’m not the person you should be lecturing. I shouldn’t be challenged.” The outrageous responses of white liberals to this is far more damning than the original protest - a nerve was…

The whole point of the protest being aimed at white progressives at this point is to point out that white people aren’t entitled to ANYTHING from black people. Why is it so fucking difficult for white people to understand how condescending it is to think their ostensibly progressive politics inures them from issues of…

This is a pretty typical whiney, white liberal response. The history of progressive politics is filled with dissenting allies, it’s what makes the left stronger than the right: we can stand to hear a little constructive criticism. Think of Victoria Woodhull and Karl Marx.
