Why Liberals Aren�t as Tolerant as They Think

[Cow Poke]

Thank you for that information.

I enjoy your presence, in case it may appear otherwise.

Not as a student.

Laughing --- that could be a dodge. I was never in Haiti as a surgeon.

You are too kind.

Only on a very few occasions but that was all "A LONG TIME AGO..."[albeit not in a FAR DISTANT GALAXY].

I did, but I also knew when they were.

Look, we're getting to where we're snipping and cutting and responding WAY too much in snippets, so I'm gonna look and see if there's anything to which I wish to respond, and disregard the rest.

Fair enough?

Feel free.

Same thing happened to me then both posts vanished permanently.

That is bizarre and also, I would imagine, rather frustrating.

White fragility which is gaining strength is the idea that all white people are racist, just by the dint of their skin color. And if you don't admit it, it is because you are fragile, not wanting to admit your racism. You can't win. If you float you are a witch and are executed, if you don't float and drown you are not a witch.

And PM, do you think it is phobic to say that a biological man can not be a woman? Yet people are being canceled for saying exactly that. J.K. Rowling is the latest.

Tenets of Critical Race Theory

There are certain ideas I agree with that you might define, in whole, as white fragility, like how everyone has a subconscious racial bias (whether from society or biology), systemic racism, racism can be defined in terms of societal power dynamics rather than individual acts, that it's not enough that people try not to commit racist acts but must actively fight against racism, and that groups in positions of power will see an effort for fairness and justice as an affront against them, and all of these are either natural conclusions from the premise that "racism exists" or based on measurable observation. As such, I can't agree that the concept of white fragility, if I am understanding it correctly, is a broadening of the bigotry umbrella.

I agree with Rowling being cancelled. Liberals have considered transphobia bigotry for quite a while now, so I don't see this as a broadening either.

That page you linked about CRT makes a lot of references for context, so I don't feel like I understand it enough to say anything about it. Could you describe it in your own words?

yes

I think, rather, that Leon is an atypical liberal. In my experience (and not just on the internet but in real life, too), liberals tend to be angry, irrational people whenever the topic wanders into politics or religion.

That's been my experience as well, but outside of online interactions I don't meet people very often anymore.
