I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive, and it was only today that I learned the Kyle Rittenhouse victims were white. My progressive bubble made this seem like a very different case than it is.

This kind of admission is actually important, because it really helps demonstrated what we've been saying for years about press bias. It's much more useful to be able to shred other leftists with statements like this from their fellow travelers.

This is becoming the Duke Lacrosse case of 2021.

Reasonably perceptive? Not even close.

“I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive”

When there are no negative consequences for ignorance and stupidity, intelligence atrophies away just like an unused limb.

Many people just don’t personally take a good look at the news and rely on summaries by catching the 1 minute, top of the hour, mush on the radio, tv or phone.
People are busy with other things, work, playing... life. This woman had a seminal moment where she suddenly realized she was being brainwashed. (broke out of the bubble). I salute her and hope she joins the ranks of the ‘aware’.

[[“My progressive bubble made this seem like a very different case than it is.”]]

So,what you are saying is that like every other progressive, you went into this with the mindset that he was guilty, without any proof, and no other verdict was gonna suffice- until you learned that the victims were white, at which time, you flip flopped your “guilty, facts be damned” mindset, and now you are reconsidering ecause your side has failed so miserably @ trying to frame an innocent man.

BUT had there been a minority victim, you woild be sticking to your “guilty, facts be damned” verdict

That’s my takeaway concerning your epiphany sarah

And why would it be a “very different case” if there was a minority victim sarah? The facts wouldn’t have changed! But you would be right in there screaming for a,conviction nonetheless? Is that what you are telling us? That cases involving non white victims are to be judged djfferently?

Racist much sarah?

What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?

I don’t know, and I don’t care.

So you thought they were black and were outraged. Now you know they are white and it's okay.

Who's the real racist?

If she is highly educated, she should be extremely insulted at how dumb the media and the left think she is.

I wonder how soon the social media “fact checkers” will ban her for simply saying the truth? Or how long before a rage mob threatens her? Those would be the next, painful steps in her education.

If you review the video of the particular evening...just about everyone you see....is plain white. Someone reminded me of the demographics of the town....80-percent white....10-percent black.

These people are highly schooled but poorly educated. The most important education in life does not come from books. It comes from parental guidance and experiencing life. The “elites” have abdicated their parental responsibilities and left their children’s education entirely to the biased schools, MSM and modern culture. Their kids graduate from university with a complete leftist worldview, and enter professions where they are insulated from the reality of life outside the urban centres. I’ve worked with many people like this. Their condescension towards people in small towns and blue collar workers in the city is shocking. They are all content to live in their elitist “bubble”.

Give her credit.
We need to see some scales falling away from eyes .
Some of these folks might come to our side eventually .
They are now living in the sham of the Biden era.
They can see they were lied to.

Yeah, but the problem is, none of the progressive have truly,learned anything from it. They c,aim they have, but that claim is only because Kyle is obviously not guilty, and the prosecution is losing badly and making the left look foolish, so progressives are distancing themselves from the crap fest prosecution case sk,so, the progressives don’t end up loo,ing stupid too. Claimingmthey “didn’t know the victims were white” is only a small,plate of crow to eat, so,they choose to distance themselves now using that excuse

However, had there been non whites that were shot, they woild double down and demand a guilty verdict, facts be damned, or else-, not distance themselves, because they learned that during the Chauvin trial, if there are non white victims, juries can be intimidated when the whole of the minority population practical,y and together and do thr threatening. Facts don’t mater then. They know the jury wont dare vote based on the actual evidence because they are so into imaged by blm
