(30,481 posts)I know you are one seriously good dude who works constantly at self betterment and to be good to those around you. I do think this is somewhat of a bastardization of the underlying theme of many of the comments you bring to the table. At the same time, the emotion, hyperbole and inconsistent of the claims allow you to make a bold and righteous argument.
Fact is that the group you mention has benefited from privilege their whole lives, overall, and vote out of anger to maintain those privileges. The attacks are used in an absolute manner around here when it should be highlighted that they are simple yet accurate gross generalizations. I know that most white uneducated men on our side dont take offense as they get it. Still, its clearly personal in nature and the way its put forward does envelope a whole bunch of great progressives.
On a side note, Im college educated and run my own business. Its my understanding that you have been successfully self-employees it the past and you are educated to perform a serious task that I am beyond unqualified for. Thats what I dont like about the argument. It mocks directions of education that every progressive should support, not dismiss as something other than education. Trade schools.
