When This Blows Over

Note: I am not even a Trump supporter but I am constantly embarrassed by this
elitist attitude of so many of us liberals who see ourselves as superior and don't let
people with different voices also be seen as legit people -- TRUE diversity means
not just accepting those we agree with (Blacks, Hispanics and women's rights
types) but letting working class whites and less educated whites know that their
fears and complaints are also real -- we won't get together on this until we
(liberals/democrats) expand to be truly inclusive of those 'deplorables' who have
real gripes and fears and who were rightly offended by Clinton's East Coast private
university worldview that only the upper middle and upper classes and the
educated from the coasts are worthy people who have legitimate worries. She
deserved to lose and we deserve what we get now…

But Cal, when someone is a member of the KKK, they ARE racist. When they
belong to a pray-away-the-gay group, they ARE homophobic and when they want
all the immigrants to be deported, they ARE xenophobic. And all the members of
those three groups are vocal Trump supporters. It's not divisive to call them what
they are any more that it would be divisive to call you black if you were, or male if
you are. It's just a statement of fact.
If you can find where Jones said ALL Trump supporters were racists or
homophobes you might be on to something, but he never did, and all the
members of those groups ARE Trump supporters…

you missed the point--not all who were leery of Clinton deserved to be called
those terms---that was my point ok.
Also, I repeat, those like Jones like to bandy about those terms to scare reasoned
people away from speaking--and that is intentional--that's what the misuse of PC
does. It's a form of censorship and I don't like left wing nor right wing censorship
(the Right constantly has used PC --not called PC however- when they silence antiwar
types by calling them 'anti-American' or 'anti-Christian' and so forth). Both
sides overuse and misuse PC and this needs to stop so that we can get some real
dialogue going on race and class without using PC to stall debate and therefore
action. People who want more class equality are not necessarily 'socialists' and
people who may not like every aspect of Affirmative Action are not necessarily
'racists'--my point…
