[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not CRT but the term “intersectionality” is a buzzword for woke pablum.[/quote]

I’m pretty liberal, but my eyes automatically roll when I hear that word.[/quote]

It’s jargon but it just means [b]everyone has their own experiences with discrimination[/b] and consideration should be given to things that affect marginalized people. It [b]rubs some white people the wrong way because they have never experienced discrimination[/b] and can’t relate. They also probably consider themselves to be good people and can’t separate that from acknowledging the system is set up to benefit them, which is why they can’t relate to the discrimination marginalized people experience.[/quote]

Contradict much?[/quote]

No. White people don’t experience discrimination.[/quote]

You think “rednecks” and “traitor trash” don’t experience discrimination? How about Jewish people? Mormons?

Then you wonder why people are wary of progressives. Many progressives can’t see beyond their own worldview.

The thing about the US is that poor white people living in West Virginia have a lot more in common with poor non-white people than they do with white people living in Arlington or Bethesda. But, progressives start bleating on about how someone living in a trailer in Appalachia has "white privilege", and working class and poor white people look at them (justifiably) like they're a bunch of morons.

It's kind of funny- the people in power in the US have used race to divide lower-income people for decades, which has prevented the creation of strong unions or anything akin to a European-style labor party in the US. Now, progressives seem determined to continue the practice. And they don't even understand how they're hurting their own cause. [/quote]
