In a story the New York Times appears not to have touched, Hunter Walker at Observer.com's Politicker ("about" page is here) reported on Tuesday that Thomas Lopez-Pierre, a black Harlem activist, "circulated an email" Monday night "in an attempt to plan a 'private meeting' to 'discuss the potential damage to the political empowerment of the Black and Hispanic community if Mark Levine, a White/Jewish candidate was elected to the 7th Council District in 2013.'" So we see that black Chicagoland establishment officials trying to ensure that the successor to the recently resigned Jesse Jackson Jr. in Illinois' 2nd Congressional District are not alone in seeing a political office as somehow "belonging" to them.
“Minorities have been so brainwashed by Liberals into believing that they are incapable of competing o a level playing field, they panic when they think they are no longer in a rigged game thats in their favor.”
White women are the same way; I work with quite a few who are worthless as employees but you could never convince them of that. Useless window-dressing tokens, employed solely to stave off lawsuits (or as toys for management).
One of my favorite roles.
That is exactly what that means.
“There is no Hispanic race
They’re Caucasians!!”
I will guess that more than a few Hispanics feel differently about that.
Hence, “La Raza”. What does that translate to, literally ?
Interesting point. Blacks and Latinos refer to themselves as ‘’people of color’’. So if I call some black or Latino ‘’colored’’, is that racist?
Racists.
Doesn’t matter how they “feel”
They’re wrong.
My thought was -
what if some group expressed concern that a non-white would win a NYC Council seat?
Yeah, we know what that would be greeted with.
Sounds to me like white males now qualify for all of the affirmative action benefits. Finally!
A non-person?! Oh, the horror!!!
Interesting point. Blacks and Latinos refer to themselves as ‘’people of color’’. So if I call some black or Latino ‘’colored’’, is that racist?
Yes, thats considered racist. Blacks and Latinos are called ‘people of color’ by blacks, latinos, and whites. Which means they are colored. But saying they are ‘colored people’ is racist. Go figure. I’ve given up trying to figure out how progressive brains work.
