Old White Folk Story

[1StrongBlackMan]

78. Okay ...

I think you are misunderstanding. When those who actually ARE guilty are the ones being vilified, it is okay. But when ANYONE issues a generalized statement broad brushing ANY group of people, that is called bigotry. I thought that was generally understood at least among Liberals.

Now attempt to see it from a different perspective ... that of a PoC:

We all see conservatives as the Big evil; but, we also see some "liberals", e.g., primarily old(er), white males, that are supportive of the racial status quo ... while they (may have) fought for civil rights and support equal opportunity in the past, their focus has turned to their own economic condition. That is understandable, but it becomes offensive "they" get to the point of telling PoC that we should stop the "divisive", pointing out of racism in/among liberals/progressives and the Democratic Party, in order that we unite on the "real issue" of economic inequity.

Do you see how that might be offensive to PoC? And, it is made worse by the refusal of liberals to even acknowledge this fact.

(Being male, I cannot speak to the perspective of females, though I have seen similar comments in the anti-"Not All Men" threads posted by women.).

Personally I don't like or use labels of any kind to describe large groups of people because of how open to misinterpretation they can be.

Not to pick a fight, but Come onnn, Sabrina ... we have had too many back and forths for me to let that stand. You use labels as much as anyone.
