The Soft Bigotry Of Liberal Preconceptions

By Derek Hunter -- You are a racist. Go ahead and prove me wrong. Or at least try. You can’t. It’s the perfect charge to level against someone if you want to end a discussion because there’s nowhere for anyone to go after it’s tossed out. It’s also childish, which is why Democrats level it with the frequency that my newborn daughter soils her diaper – and they both come from the same place with the same substance.... Racism still exists, of course, there are always going to be people who don’t like others because of immutable traits which they blame for their own failures in life. But the Democratic Party has effectively weaponized the charge and used it so often to scare people that it has no real meaning whatsoever..... In a desperate attempt to end serious debate, debates at which they fail, they’ve watered down a charge of racism to the point that people now largely ignore it. Don’t support socialize medicine? That’s because you hate black and brown people. Think we should secure our southern border? Same answer. There isn’t much of anything some leftist won’t call you a white supremacist over, including food reviews. (No, I’m not kidding.)
It’s a sickness unique to the left, and it does real harm to actual victims of racism. The few instances of real racism are drown out in a sea of hysterical “wolf” cries. Still, with their voters, it’s effective because it appeals to raw emotion..... Hell, the Democratic Party actively instills this in their voters to drill fear into their base to motivate loyalty. “Someone who doesn’t like you because of your skin color/gender/sexual orientation/religion and they’re working hard to make your life difficult. But don’t worry, we’ll protect you from them, all you have to do is vote for us,” is the gist of the liberal message.... One wonders how places like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, etc., would look like if its residents weren’t “protected” by Democrats for so many generations.... Reporters could have avoided inspiring death threats against innocent children by applying the rule they apply to conservative videos, the “heavily edited” standard, and waited until they knew something more than a liberal activist’s narrative before calling for blood.... Prejudice is prejudice, whether it’s against someone with an accent, some because of their religion, or someone because race and the hat they wear. The definition of the word “bigot” isn’t dependent upon the amount of melanin in the skin of an individual, it’s dependent upon the amount of ignorance in that individual. Unfortunately, when it comes to far too many people in positions of influence on both sides of the aisle, that amount is large.

Hunter is not dismissing racism - only the accusation of racism. When simply disagreeing with someone is considered racist, it makes incidents of real racism harder to detect and correct. It's the classic example of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". There's a lot of truth to be gleaned from those old stories, a truth that PMS Liberals can't seem to grasp.
its pretty clear at this point that the biased LSM have devolved into “information laundromats” that defacto practice “financial laundering” as well. They obscure the agenda of their controllers and have no financial transparency of their relationship with their controllers. To the extent this deliberately undermines Constitutional Law in the USA -this is “terroristic”
The author D. Hunter makes a great point, "One wonders how places like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, etc., would look like if its residents weren’t “protected” by Democrats for so many generations." Do you think the left has ever thought that through.
This PMS Democrat fixation and over-analysis about the Covington issue is getting a little stale. Simply put: Cyber-bullying has now become acceptable to some in the Lame Stream Media and been taken to another level. The Covington kids were the victims of PMS Democrat vigilantism and lynch-mob leftists. There again PMS Democrats have advanced from 19th and 20th Century physical lynching to virtual lynching of their racist aims whether it be Blacks, Catholics, foreign immigrants or Republicans.

"Hunter is not dismissing racism - only the accusation of racism."

Huh.

"When simply disagreeing with someone is considered racist, it makes incidents of real racism harder to detect and correct."

Huh again.

So...who gets to decide what "real racism" is? You? The author?

"SJW": I think demographic A is a victim of racism, because of {evidence}, and that should be fixed.

"SJW's Poor Victim": I disagree. I dismiss your claim.

"SJW": That's racist.

"SJW's Poor Victim": Nope...that's a just a "disagreement".

Uh huh.

“The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man.” -- Malcolm X

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.” -- William J. H. Boetcker
