(625 posts)why do so many folks who want to shame the white man assume that we who don't want to must be white?
Because there's a party-line they think everyone must toe.
Look, civil rights, gay rights, women's rights are important and worthy of discussion. There's no debate that these groups experience discrimination.
But let's not make it the be-all and end-all. Let's not make it into a "you must think like me totally or you're part of the problem." That's party-line-ism, and the kind of thing that leads to ideological purges of those whose thoughts are not "pure enough."
Can a wealthy man like George Soros have opinions on what it's like to be living paycheck to paycheck? Damn right, and I welcome his help and support.
We don't keep our eyes on the prize by bickering with and demeaning one another.
