(62,325 posts)are people who fought for equality for all Americans all their lives. Painting with broad brushes without specifying who one is talking about, is a form of bigotry in itself. And people have every right to object to labels being attached to people who do not fall under those labels simply because they are members of a group. I thought that was general knowledge for liberals at least.
I know that right wingers use labels to denigrate all those they despise, which includes Old White Men and Women who fight for the rights of all minorities. They have all kinds of labels for them. But labels are anathema to most liberals, generally speaking because they are intended to divide people, to create an 'other'. So strange to learn that I was so very wrong about Liberals.
