DU provides a REAL good look into America ... here, on a "Left-leaning" site populated by chest-banging "progressive", just a quick scan will show you that white men get to define what is, and is not, racist and they get to define what is, and is not sexist and we should give their voice equal value because they know and like some Black folks/women, or they were once singled out because of their tattoo or long hair.

But, this same group has no problem seeing the gop's war on women/"minorities."

But, my one saving straw is, those threads have far more "views" than posts ... which allows me to pretend that there are more listening and, hopefully, learning.
