Compared with the rest of the (nationally representative) polling sample, progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated—and white. They are nearly twice as likely as the average to make more than $100,000 a year. They are nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree. And while 12 percent of the overall sample in the study is African American, only 3 percent of progressive activists are. With the exception of the small tribe of devoted conservatives, progressive activists are the most racially homogeneous group in the country.
I’d go further and say that if the author’s numbers are correct (8% “progressive activists”, 25% committed conservatives, everyone else either apolitical or in the middle), then much of the 25% - including many of us here - are who they are as a predictable and justified reaction against all of the damage that the 8% have caused or tried to cause.
“progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated—and white.”
The biggest enemies of whites are rich whites who are guilt ridden by their own success and try to atone for their “sins” by constantly pandering to the “oppressed” while denigrating their own.
They are Nietzsche’s tarantulas, Raspail’s beast, the scab-pickers, the holier than thou... They are the hemorrhoids of society.
I truly despise them.
