(10,745 posts)Yes, it's the "white privilege" part. Regardless of what its more hardcore defenders may want to believe, this is *NOT* part of Democratic core values. Never has been. And you're lumping those who disagree with it's use with conservatives? That's the problem right there, dude.
For goodness sakes, man. Can't we all at least agree that discrimination and racism are still kicking, and that we can strive for a truly equal world? Because that IS a core Democratic value.
"White privilege", is subscribed to by only a very small minority of Democrats overall. Even the majority of DUers don't buy it. And in fact, it can be plausibly argued that the "White Privilege" defenders club here owes its very existence to the "Big Tent" you claim to hate so much.
And if you truly want to know where I stand on the issues:
a.)Background checks and adequate regulation are paramount. I don't want no tanks or guys with rocket launchers holding up the local burger joint or grocery store just to steal 50 bucks.
b.)An abortion is very much a woman's right to choose. No exceptions.
c.)Yes, there remains a problem with inequality in this country, and we need to keep working on that. But it doesn't require that we engage in arcane language usage to do so. We just need to focus on straightforward education.
(P.S.: BTW, I do realize that not everyone that believes in "white privilege" is an argumentative arsehole who attacks those who disagree with them, so if you're a reasonable person who is able to disagree without attacking, then don't worry, this wasn't about you. It was just towards those guys and ladies who DO have that issue. That's all.)
