(62,325 posts)in any way, condoned this ignorant, regressive practice of labeling ANY group of human beings.
Much has been written about this and anyone at all familiar with the danger of this practice throughout history, would in no way even attempt to promote it.
And worse, the bullying and personal attacks on anyone who refuses to support this latest attempt to divide Democrats, tells the story. If you are confident that you are on the right side of an issue, you do not engage in name calling, labeling, personal attacks, but when you do, you reveal more than you probably know.
There are plenty of bigots in this world who need to be dealt with. Joining them by adapting THEIR tactics sure isn't the way to do so.
To ignore the complexities within ANY group of people by slapping a 'one size fits all' label on them I thought was well recognized within at least the Progressive Dem community.
I wonder how 'white' gay teenagers feel about their 'white privilege' eg. Having had to deal with that within my own family they sure don't need yet another label slapped on them. Just one example, and one our family has personally dealt with, of why this is such a reprehensible practice. I could give plenty more, but those who are informed, already know, those who do not wish to be informed, never will be.
