Racism and Feminism in America: The sad truth

Published by Karl at 1:34 am under Democrats, Liberals, civil rights, feminism, racism

If you connect the dots between racism, sexism and democrats you end up with one word:

Hijacked.

In both cases we had serious social issues.  We had serious social revolution.  We had real change and social enlightenment.

And we ended up with both issues being hijacked by the democrat party for political gain, with many of the advances and changes being lost in the betrayal.

In both cases equality and empowerment were traded for victim hood and entitlement.

I am no social expert on either topic.  But I can speak to change because I have seen change.

I have seen peoples attitudes shift and their determination to be fair and to ignore race and sex.

But I have also seen opportunists.  People who stir the flames of distrust to gain power and prestige.

I have seen racism and sexism offered as default explanations to imaginary problems.

I have seen white males herded into an atavistic corner, and told they are racists and sexists and that they can never change because of institutional discrimination and white male privilege.

I have seen well meaning people trashed for nothing.  For using a word that sounds like something bad but isn’t.  For being respectful.  For being honest about common sense issues.

And yes, I have also seen hold outs of a lesser enlightened era, and such people are sad parodies of humanity.  People who do indeed hold onto baseless stereotypes and beliefs.

And when you take those people and ram them headfirst into the opportunists and baiters, you might almost believe that nothing good has changed.

The real truth if liberals were honest, is that race and gender relations are much much better than they used to be.

But to hear some liberal talking heads speak, nothing has changed.

Where it is the saddest and where it exposes the real liberal agenda, is when you couple these two topics with conservatives.  Michael Steele was lampooned in black face  by black liberals.  Clarance Thomas has been castigated as not really being black.  Sarah Palin is undergoing a fierce roasting by liberal feminists, and Condi Rice has always been treated as a side show freak by liberal blacks and women both.

The fact is that these four people represent change. They represent true accomplishment.  They represent the most dear aspects of our culture:  Freedom of choice and values.

And they are pariahs to their respective demographics, who have been sold by the power mad liberals that only a liberal ideology is acceptable.

No room for dissent or variety of opinion is allowed. 

Who is more damaging?  The conservative who says be true to your values and respect all, or the liberal who says be just like us, or go home and stay there?

Who represents freedom more?  The person who accepts diversity in opinion, or the person who forces all comers into a narrow mold?

So instead of black being in chains in the fields, they are held in ideological chains by the liberals.  Women are not forced to be barefoot and pregnant, they just have to toe the line or stay home in the kitchen.

Neither are allowed by liberals to choose their own beliefs or paths.

Women get granted abortion as their prize…until they suggest that abortoin might be wrong.  Then they are branded as whores.  Blacks get affirmitive action, unless they don’t want it, then they are branded Uncle Toms.

The liberals in America, the Democrat Party has offered women and minorities absolute freedom…as long as they mind their manners and don’t get uppity.  Stay in line, do what we say, believe what we believe.

Ah.  Freedom.

For a party that lauds itself as progressive, this is a pretty pathetic vision of progress.
