The Left has decided that the solution to the problem of race relations in America is more racism. The Left has decided that attacking, insulting, and dehumanizing one group of people elevates another. The Left now believes there are no boundaries when telling lies, omitting the truth, or misrepresenting the facts when telling the news because their end justifies their means. The Left has now decided that its point of view is the ONLY acceptable one and that suppressing, censuring, and banning open debate is virtuous and progressive. The Democratic Party has adopted a deleterious belief system, happily and without skepticism, separating people into groups based off of identity and then organizing them into camps of ‘victims’ and ‘oppressors.’
If you are a person of color, an LGBT person, a woman, or an American immigrant, the Democratic Party wants you to know that you are a victim and destined to stay that way. They will insist that you are a victim doomed to exist in a system that is rigged against you, that you are a victim of systemic oppression, that you are a victim of your circumstances, and that no amount of hard work or motivational action will ever allow you to overcome your victimhood or the privilege of those around you.

The vast bulk of the Russian Facebook ads were intended to fan racial animosity. The Democrats have been doing that for centuries. I don’t think a few ads by Russia are going to make much difference.
I’ve been watching a lot of the #WalkAway testimonials on YouTube. Really interesting to just hear how so many different people with such different perspectives all coming to the same basic conclusion but for a lot of different reasons. It might be the case that progressivism relies on a certain degree of groupthink that just might not be possible in the age of the Internet.
When you fight bigotry with bigotry, you just get more bigotry
True... Have you noticed how the corrupt liberal press is careful NOT to show the Russians ads? One look at them tells the story: Hillary lost because she's a tone deaf prickly witch... not because of 'Russian ads'...
There are a few simple principles that will lead you to a productive and happy life. They are accessible to anyone regardless of race.
The Democrats want to attach those to a particular race or culture and use that to discredit them... You can’t follow those principles or you are a traitor to your race, if you believe in them you are a racist.
Doing this they shut off any hope to a better life, but then they offer themselves as the alternate truth. They use real racism and accusations of racism to enforce party discipline among their own, to make sure their own don’t even think about their opponents’ arguments, and to un-man their opponents. It works amazingly well.
“The Left has now decided that its point of view is the ONLY acceptable one and that suppressing, censuring, and banning open debate is virtuous and progressive”
They could always put some distance between themselves and those of us who love liberty .. be adventurous and move across the Atlantic Ocean.
London has a mayor who apparently agrees with them, so it certainly seems like their kind of place - seeing as how they despise most of the USA and all.
The Democrat Party is anything but "democratic," in its present iteration!
“The Left now believes there are no boundaries when telling lies, omitting the truth, or misrepresenting the facts when telling the news because their end justifies their means.”
The left has always embraced lying, character assassination and voter fraud as their ticket to winning elections. The ends justifies the means is straight out of the Alimsky doctrine which is the Bible for Democrats.
That's insightful, please clarify. Are you talking about the attributes that made "white America" successful for the last 200 years (e.g. responsibility and work ethic)?
Essentially, yes.
I always say, men, if you want to change the world, love your wives, and raise your children. Work for what you need, create it, build it, or help someone else build it. Earn your way. Refuse charity if you at all can refuse it.
Love God, love your family, love your neighbor, and work.
There are some cultures that encourage those virtues more than do others, there are some cultures that undermine those virtues on every side, but in the end they are accessible to anyone and everyone regardless of where you come from and who your parents were.
That’s excellent.
If only it was easier to turn a taker into a maker!
But when a culture is built around a “taker mindset” it propagates from generation to generation.
Nothing new. The Democrats have been indoctrinating people into that point of view for almost a century.
