Liberalism is a lazy person’s way of pretending they care.

I had thought about putting out a sign that says, ‘Socialist Hate has no home here”.

The only “serious conversation about race” would be for white folks to admit they hate and suck and should be marginalized, if not killed.

we cant have a serious coversation until we can agree on what the definition of is is - the progessive’s snarky abuse of language guarantees no progress except in draining you of your energy.

The left has been successful at strangling our language to the point where “disagreement” really means “hate.” I have called a few liberals out in this nonsense in recent years, but I know I haven’t put a dent in it. Of course, the fact that I’ve pointed out the stupidity of it makes me a “hater.”

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

George Washington Carver.

It took me 15 minutes to find this quote. Used to be the first one to pop up.

Progressives (leftists/liberals/socialists/communists/Democrats) cannot allow real conversations — those may include truths, data, history and/or logic that falsify their claims.

They are NOT to be disagreed with.

And they are NOT to lose elections.

Proggies are adult children, stuck in perpetual adolescence. They hold utopian, unrealistic, immature ideals. They hiss at adults that dare correct their illusions and errant behaviors. They throw tantrums when facing unwanted truth. Their humor is 8th grade bathroom material.

President Trump is a strong, smart amd masculine father figure, a true alpha male. So many proggies are single mommie victims, totally unfamiliar with real men during childhood, that one like Trump is otally alien to them. They spit at him, but I bet they secretly wish they had a dad like him. He creates widespread cognizant dissonance.

you cant converse seriously with delusional people who live in a fantasy world of global warming, homosexuality, disarmament, abortion, etc.

Mid 90s, next in line at the Con Ed office on 125 St. NYC (Harlem)
Young white girl behind me.
Two Af-Am women in turbans and robes enter and start to head toward the window while talking to each other.
Young girl says, “Excuse me, but there’s a line here.” She is ignored.
Soto voce,I toss over my shoulder, “That concept is not recognized here.”
“Well, I’M not racist!” Little Missey says to me, a little louder this time.
Two heads snap around in unison upon hearing the magic word.
The window becomes vacant, I approach to do my business and hear in the background, “HE was being a racist by saying...mumble mumble...”
I complete my transaction, turn and start to leave and see the two Af-Am women have Miss Goody Two Shoes surrounded, berating, pointing and snaping fingers at her while she is trying to point at me saying. “HE’S the racist.”
I gave her a wink and a smile as I exited.

I still smile every time I think of this incident.

I’m on a mostly leftist web site called QUORA.COM.
2/3 of the leftists on that site are into labeling and virtue signaling. But 1/3 seem to want serious discussion of issues.

Of the smaller number of conservatives and Trump Populists on that site the same ratio exists. 2/3 of the Conservatives and Trump Populists are an embarrassment with their juvenile name calling.

If you want a serious discussion, go on QUORA.COM and have a serious discussion.

How can you have a conversation when someone like Megyn Kelly get fired for ASKING whether it’s acceptable to dress in blackface on Halloween to HONOR a black person?
Conversations are impossible when one side is silenced.

in 1920 there were 4 million members of the KKK, the granddaddy of all racist organizations.

Well, not counting Islam.

They don’t want to have a conversation. They want to have a monologue.
