Realize this is absolute projection. Some is driven by fear. Some by the hate of other PoC. Some it is insecurity and some is well... Antisemitism.

The problem is that people of good faith have to confront evil, but doing it is not easy.

1. Identity politics is not good at self reflection

Critical inquiry is the medicine, but it's difficult tonic to swallow. Hard to admit the monster within exists, much less engage it in discourse.

2. Had not really thought of it quite that way, but that makes a lot of sense.

3. Some of it is believing a negative campaign is the OOO-nly way to fly.

4. I am not anti Semitic and I don't know what you are referring to.

Good people confronting evil? Who is evil here?

5. Have you been reading DU?

I'm glad that you deny being anti Semitic, but you sure were quick to jump in and proclaim any knowledge of it here on DU.

Edit to add: I guess the whole racist, POC thing in the OP didn't draw your attention.

6. I don't catch everything, but the infighting stuff I mostly ignore.

At the same time, anti Semite is usually a thing of a different group other than Democrat. And the word "evil"????

7. Huh? nt

8. I guess that is a good enough response from you.

9. An old axiom, you don't need to realize it to be a racist.

From an anthropology perspective, there are no races. From a strict scientific perspective, people who believe there are distinct races are racists. In that context, we need to classify racism by degrees of bigotry. Some people are just ignorant of the science and not bigots. Others are aware of the scientific view and still they are total bigots.

10. or they might just be f***ing stupid

11. what about when you scream about others' racism?

I take it that when you do it it is all fine and excusable?

12. Nadin, this is the Sanders Group

Please, keep your focus here on him. I understand where you are coming from but this is inappropriate for this group.
