THis is fantastic… His own son getting high while he preaches and yet his son does not go to jail…. This is Privilege, its not race its power. 2 justice systems. 1 for us and none for them!
Hiring someone for the color of their skin or their gender, and not hiring someone for the oclor of their skin or their gender are equally racist and sexist.
Imagine getting this job knowing that people were kept out of the running, based on their skin color and gender, in order to lower the bar for you because of your skin color or gender, in order to make sure you could clear it. Because without this HR savior lowering it, you couldn’t.
“Crits are also highly suspicious of another liberal mainstay, namely, rights. Particularly some of the older, more radical CRT scholars with roots in racial realism and an economic view of history believe that moral and legal rights are apt to do the right holder much less good than many would like to think. Rights are almost always procedural (for example, to a fair process) rather than substantive (for example, to food, housing, or education). Think how our system applauds affording everyone equality of opportunity, but resists programs that assure equality of results.”

“racially visible”? Is this to remove the minorities that are “white passing”?
It’s okay guys, this is the good kind of discrimination.
I’ve come to realize that one of the hardest parts about navigating the modern day political climate, is that many people on the left can only ever talk about politics. Truly, the personal has become the political for them. It’s impossible to stay away from politics with them and have a neutral conversation. That makes it hard to form and nurture friendships with someone when they treat every topic like a hot button topic.
Disagreement with an idea is seen as an attack on them personally.
Yes!!! Yes that, thank you, that’s what I was trying to get at and I couldn’t quite figure out how to summarize it. Every disagreement of opinion, no matter how slight or inconsequential, is seen as a personal attack and the response is to issue an ultimatum that the other party change their mind immediately or be cut off.
Yup. It comes from emotionalism, not rationality.
I’ve lost three friends by daring to have an opinion that wasn’t lockstep with their own (in two cases ludicrous) positions.
I’m out of college and working in a different state from all of my friends, and I’m constantly worried that one day they’re gonna start grilling me about my politics and just leave me out to dry. Every time I’m talking with the group of them and they bring up a Current Event I just have to fly under the radar and give the most generic, agreeable takes possible and hope they don’t ask follow-up questions. It’s pretty unlikely that I’d actually get “cancelled” but I’m too afraid to take the risk. Before you say anything I know that This Is No Way To Live and that If They Would Actually Abandon Me Like That Then They Weren’t Really My Friends, but this group is just all I have
As the only member of my family who isn’t a Progressive Liberal Democrat™, that’s the main reason I dread most family get-togethers. Because I know eventually, one of them is going to turn the conversation to politics, and they’ll just start spouting the most NPC bullshit you’ve ever heard in your life, and it will take all my willpower to hold my tongue.
My big sister is unnegotiable when you don’t has the same far left opinion as her, she will become completely histerycall and ignore reality if this don’t fit with her mindset. She even avoid me and our others family members for not be sjws like her :(
“But we HAVE to talk about it! It’s people’s LIVES on the line!”
“I think very few people will die if they don’t have their pronouns in their bio.”
There are a few people who have reblogged this and commented that they are sure it’s the same on the right, and yes, there are some obnoxious right-wing individuals who won’t listen to other people and turn everything into a political rant. But in my experience both from when I was a leftist myself and nowadays when I’m on the other side of things, there is a huge difference in the way modern (young) leftists and modern (young) right-wingers treat people with differing opinions. I just came across yet another study (this one is from Axios, published on December 7th) that shows it:
By the numbers: 5% of Republicans said they wouldn’t be friends with someone from the opposite party, compared to 37% of Democrats.
71% of Democrats wouldn’t go on a date with someone with opposing views, versus 31% of Republicans.
30% of Democrats — and 7% of Republicans — wouldn’t work for someone who voted differently from them.
^^^^ surprising to no-one.
Also, they often say “this isn’t a disagreement like tea or coffee, this is literal human rights” but every disagreement is treated like it is a literal violation of human rights, even things that just come down to personal preference or what you want to do.
It also really shows that they can’t handle a disagreement that goes deeper than just what a drink preference is.
