(19,926 posts)I don't get it at all. Do you think white people who are fighting for equal rights are telling you to be subservient?
Your use of quotations is an insult. What if every time I spoke of a PoC I used quotations? Would that not give you pause? It is your definition only that casts liberals as not caring about social justice. Everyone has their own personal experience in life so each person will have something they feel stronger about than others, that does not mean they cannot stand for and fight for more than one thing at once. I honestly feel that is a meme designed to divide and conquer the Dem Party so as to allow centrist economic thought to take over. To me it seems that that is the only way Hillary supporters and centrists can rationalize not caring about the problems of Wall Street and the inequity in our country.
Liberals care about all of it and are fighting for all of it. You're not going to change what a liberal is by using quotations. The RW already tried to use liberal as a slur, it doesn't work. Liberals are proud to be liberal. And being liberal does NOT include accepting moderate Republican economic policy.
And whether you can't seem to find one of the hundreds of posts does not change the fact that they have been all over DU for the past month and a half. And that is what cali is speaking to. Your issues with her seem to be tainting your ability to be objective.
