Excellence is not limited by station, but is limited by exposure. When Rush spoke of “the bigotry of low expectations “, he accurately blamed the lack of success for any number of students on a society that says “well, they can’t do that kind of stuff.” Biden pointed out Obama as being clean and articulate.

I use that “I’m offended that you’re offended” because of the absurdity of the statement. Wasn’t meant personally 😊

Yes, all these claims are exactly that, the bigotry of low expectations. But they are also opportunities to bash white males for the world's ills. The fact that we changed from our bigotry of low expectations to make sure that they have the same opportunities means nothing. All they are managing to do with this nonsense is make us rethink our positions, because they have become the ones who now carry forth the bigotry of low expectations. Thus, nothing has changed, so we might as well just rejoin them with that thinking. 🙂
