“ I kinda get the idea that phrases rooted in slavery have a tainted past…”
But their examples aren’t really “rooted in slavery.”
My understanding of this convention: white is a color, not a recognized culture. A color does not require capitalization. A culture would require capitalization but there is no “White Culture.”
At one level this makes sense. People that are white are very diverse; too diverse to be described as one monolithic culture. People that are white are liberal and moderate and conservative. People that are white are in several economic classes: upper class and middle class and lower class. They are Democrat, Republican, Independents, etc. They are easterners, southerners, westerners, even mid-westerners.
This is different - I'm talking liberal orthodoxy now - from members of the Black Culture. They are not diverse. They are monolithic. One hundred percent of them are claimed by the Democrat party although in actual practice the number is less than 95 percent. People in Black Culture all come from similar backgrounds, all have the same experience, and all of them are buying the best products available I've learned from watching commercials. And they all think alike.
There are known exceptions: some few black people are not part of the Black Culture. Clarence Thomas comes to mind. His exclusion is due to liberal belief that he is a race-traitor. He and his ilk are hardly worth mentioning except in a context that diminishes them.
The Black Culture is a separate culture. And in the future it will be more so as soon as we can find a way - in addition to capitalization - to emphasize the distinction.
Perhaps soon we can recognize Black Culture by the wealth it generates from rigidly-enforced reparations.
Won't that be grand?
These are the same people who support pornographic books in school libraries...
What should I use instead of Liberal Hell hole?
Try serving girl or serving wench. then watch the fireworks.
But wait a minute blacks often say don’t be acting white so how does that fit in with our diverse non culture?
I’ll use whatever words I want.
“it’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” . George Orwell 1984
‘White sale’ is unacceptable but ‘Black sale’ is fine?
So when Buffalo Bob talked to the kids in the Peanut Gallery, he was being racist?
What should I use instead of Liberal Hell hole?
Just name the actual city.
Portland
San Francisco
Washington DC
Chicago
Newark
yada yada yada
You forgot “Martha’s Vineyard”.
“But wait a minute blacks often say don’t be acting white so how does that fit in with our diverse non culture?”
Some conflicting liberal beliefs cannot be reconciled.
And that does not bother a liberal because they are liberal.
Words matter....
Democrats change words...It’s a strategy to deceive!
I prefer to call it by what it really is:
Abortion....Anti-Innocent Life....People murdering babies
Abortionists..murderers killing innocent lives
Obama Health Care......Sub par ruined health care system
Anti-Abortion: Pro Life
Covid Vaccine: Falsely called Vaccine that is not a vaccine and does not stop the spread of the virus....and does not help but could possibly injure or kill the recipient
News Media: Depends who one is referring to....The George Soros funded fake news are not news. President Trump was right in calling them FAKE NEWS...they are NOT news if they don’t report facts. They seem to exist to spread whatever narrative is that pushes their communist and socialist agenda.
The REAL news is the GOOD news of JESUS. He loves you and He died for you.
Ask Him is your heart today. Repent of all your sins because HE CAN and will forgive you if you truly seek Him and want Him to be Lord of your life.
God bless you if you are seeking the truth. I pray you find it.
True. It’s an easy way to go through life until reality bites.
Now we actually have some scientists asserting that ‘Binary terms’ as male and female, man, woman, mother, father should not be used. The recommendation is one of many made by the EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) Language Project, which includes scientists in the United States and Canada Yet rather than this recommendation being based upon science, namely biology, it is imaginatively justified as being warranted since "much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy," and thus these censorious recommended that instead, biologists use terms such as “sperm-producing” or “egg-producing” to avoid reinforcing “heteronormative views.” ( https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/4d8d56f8-ac9e-11ed-9cb3-80326348937b?shareToken=ca98985c2f6df0e157debc3e293e00eb)
The above is taken from a list of reasons in response to the question: "Why are so many conservatives bent out of shape about "cancel culture"?'
Go on to websites like Mayo Clinic and John s Hopkins, and they are loaded with this PC crap wording.
*People who can become pregnant* etc .
SPIT!!!!
