I could spend quite a while listing all the names I’ve had thrown at me. Race traitor, sellout, wannabe Nazi, whitey’s maid, Evil Right-Wing Fascist Bitch (TM), etc. Also lots of names in Spanish.
This disregard of individualism can have advantages. For instance, white folks will take some time to coalesce during a time of riot as they don't think in terms of group 'color' until it becomes obvious that that's what they have to do to survive. Real gains can be had by non-whites during this phase. It doesn't last long, so time is of the essence.
Once this becomes apparent, they can become as savage as the next person- possibly even more so. (I got to watch this up-close and personal during my high school riots that lasted three days, circa 1971, the peak of the Black Power movement).
Perhaps to minorities (who often rely on their 'color' as an identity) the perception is, that white people do too, but nothing could be further from the truth. In my lifetime, I've only met a few who would place their 'whiteness' anywhere near the top of things they identified with.
I think it would serve minorities well to understand that white people care most about individual rights than group rights based on things like sexual orientation or color. At least they will until it becomes a liability (where government interfers and starts tilting the playing field).
Liberals have never seen a level field. In their mind, it's always up-hill for them and they deserve a boost up. Any member of a minority who sees a level field is considered dim at best, and a traitor at worst. But, in fairness, a level field would seem difficult if you had to carry hundreds or perhaps thousands of your 'kind' across it. This 'weight' is self-assigned and needn't be, were it not for the collective mentality at work.
Imagine if someone told you they'd get you to the 'goal line' and all you had to do was sit in a wagon. You'd be a fool not to take them up on it. But once you get there and it's time to go back, you'll be waiting for the wagon, again. Not your fault- the liberal 'conditioned' you and now they have to come up with the wagons to get their 'dependent collective' across the playing field of life once more.
The only solution to this dilema is to kick everyone out of the wagons, set the wagons on fire, and point across the field to the promised land. Hold hands and sing spirituals if you want, but the only way you're getting there is 'on your own'.
Obama is building wagons. He's the wagon master today. Tomorrow, he'll be taking us on a short-cut. Through the Donner Pass. Be sure to pack your snowshoes and a fork.
During the 2008 election I would get libs that question the validity of Sarah Palin as VP, when Zero's inadequate record was staring them right in the face.
This is a huge democratic stronghold in this area. I hope Zero is wearing on them.
