Finally! Some GOOD Immigrants!

Did you miss the part where I said I could only speak to my own experience or do you just like making blanket statements with every post? It's because of moments like this that I question your comprehension skills.

I've already said I'm socially Liberal. So what? Hmmm? I don't think your love life is my biz, nor how you raise your kids or live your life or anything whatsoever like that.  I'll say it for as long as I have to so I'm never inadvertently mistaken for a trumpian. *cringe*

Yes it's none of our business, I agree. I like to mind my own business more than anyone. But it becomes my business when the libs keep pushing it on everyone including children. I dont want your CRT and LBGTUVWXYZ and your stupid covid vaccine in my face constantly. Shut up, go on with your lives and most importantly go fuck yourselves.

I've never seen nor read of everyone who is not a Dem or a Lib be labeled racist. I've only seen racists labeled that when they make their racist views known. I have to add the caveat that I haven't seen every Democrat or Liberal nor have I seen every person labeled a racist, I can only speak to my own experience. I haven't even been a Liberal Democrat that long, I've always been an Independent.

Liberals don't think it's possible for liberals to be racist, and everything that doesn't confirm that bias is deemed to be misinformation. Liberals will deny this because they don't think it's possible for liberals to have biases.

This is not true.
If you paid attention to any of the literature I posted you will see that people call themselves out on thier biases. Do I know thier exact political leanings? No I don't. So I can't state that. But many people I know including myself admit thier biases and any racist tendencies. Everyone is so afraid of the R word, but really most of us have racist thoughts-its what we do with them and how we act or don't act on them that matters. (and who we vote for)
But it won't matter to RC because you will just say everyone is corrupt, no one is worthy and make blanket statements.

We know you have white guilt and call yourself out on it all of the time, Mirah. But that's not what RC meant. You have the IQ of a fucking rock.

Everyone IS corrupt -- including myself -- because we live in a corrupt world. Where Kendi sees racism, I see corruption; which is not to say that racism doesn't exist. What's funny about Kendi is that he doesn't call out racialism, because that's what underlies racism, and that's what has to be addressed if racism is to be put behind us; in fact, Kendi seems to enjoy racism, and why not, if it weren't for the liberal fixation with it he wouldn't have a corporate soapbox from which to preach his message of "anti-racism" racism -- which unsurprisingly increases the already extreme polarization in our society, and is undoubtedly feeding into the explosion of violent crime that liberals are oblivious of.

So it's no skin off of Mr. Kendi's nose to call out his racism. All it shows is that he's astute enough to appreciate that it's in the interest of his agenda to do so. What exactly is his agenda? Well, one thing we can definitely conclude is that it isn't to bring society together, or to strengthen democracy, since he's on record supporting censorship, which precludes legitimate public discourse -- not that liberals care about that sort of thing, mind you. All he's doing is preaching to the choir, and clearly he has done the 5 minutes of research necessary for understanding the liberal mindset.

There's your problem, Duchess: you worry about what people think of you.

RC said liberals don't think they are racist or have biases. What didn't I understand or reply to? If someone is going to make a blanket statement then I'm going to break it down.

According to Kendi, you're either anti-racist or racist. Correct me if I'm wrong but you identify as anti-racist, so you're not racist. It's the people who don't accept anti-racism that are racist. And that's how it always is with ideology/religion: us, and them, with the drug of choice being guilt, which is easily leveraged. It's very similar to the Catholics that take to flogging themselves so they can partake of Christ's joyous suffering. But with the new liberal religion, it's more politicized than monotheism ever was.

IMO, liberals believe guilt is a natural extension of empathy. It isn't. Empathy is healthy and beneficial. Guilt is toxic and destructive, and is all about manipulation. They are worlds apart.

Trying to add the quote and it isn't working. 

This is the part I was trying to quote:

Empathy is healthy and beneficial. Guilt is toxic and destructive, and is all about manipulation. They are worlds apart.



I can accept that.
