Ten Ways (not all!) White Liberals Perpetuate Racism

[earthside]

62. Blather and self-indulgence.

It's been done before ... the "radical chic" of the late 1960s.

Self-loathing white people who simply cannot express enough rather sanctimonious guilt about race, ethnicity, privilege, etc.

It is this kind of thinking and the 'wine and cheese liberal' image that led to Democrats being kept out of the White House for 24 years -- the four years of Jimmy Carter excepted -- 1968 to 1992.

I was an active Democrat during those years ... so I remember.

If there is anything disconnected, conceited, snobby and elitist it is articles like this that purported know-it-alls like George Sachs that only make the cultural divisions in this country worse. We are all supposed to put on sackcloth, rub ashes in our mouths and wallow in guilt ... that's the first step to confronting injustice and inequality for those well off enough to indulge in that kind of self-reproach.

Ironic how Sachs also generalizes and stereotypes 'Millennials' ... not all of these young people are as whiny as the ones we have been reading and hearing about lately. I know this because I am the parent of two individuals who are included in that thusly labeled generational cohort. Like most Americans of all kinds, they are mostly concerned with getting an affordable education, paying their health insurance premium and keeping their job.

What an absolutely horrible article and I sure hope that liberal leaders and opinion-makers categorically reject and challenge this kind of mushy-headedness ... or Democrats will end up out of power for another two decade era.
