"The Culture of the Smug White Liberal"

[Freewill]

So the smug white liberal is the college student, well if one must attack the novice stage of human development, why not, it's certainly the weakest, yet most passionate group...Yet these college students are really a minority of overall liberals in society...They are a specific one if they all include the same mantra of beliefs, yet I bet they have their differences of opinions...
Yet the op/ed is wrong in it's assumptions, it speaks to have knowledge of the whole, but only shows a partial knowledge of a few..

Actually no, it is not just college students, you too are in that group.

 

[Freewill]

Liberals may have changed, but I am not really concerned about them. What concerns me is how the Republicans have changed, they have lost the virtue of the ardent defense of conservatism. There was a time when a GOP controlled congress would not allow a president to run over the top of them with unconstitutional executive orders, nor would they show such disregard towards conservative base as to allow an orange clown to become the nominee.

Who elected that "orange clown?" He won by more votes than anyone before him and he started out with a diverse group of 16 opponents.

What the Republican party did is turn their back on their base. the base nominated Trump and the elitists of the Republican party don't have the intestinal fortitude to honor their base.

Interesting piece on HuffPo right now. What is currently described as Liberalism has changed in many ways, and some on the Left are not very comfortable with it:

The Culture Of The Smug White Liberal

Excerpt, my bolding:

I have spent my life as a Democrat which probably isn’t that surprising considering that I am African-American. One of the things that always attracted me to the party were the ideals of equality, fighting for the little guy and our openness to differing opinions, but lately I have seen my party take a turn that makes me uncomfortable. Somewhere along the way we stopped fighting for the little guy and became the party of the smug, educated elites who look down on those with less education and deem them unable or unworthy of being able to make personal decisions for their own lives...

My problem with Liberalism is that it’s more concerned with policing people’s language and thoughts without requiring them to do anything to fix the problem. White liberal college students speak of “safe spaces”, “trigger words”, “micro aggressions” and “white privilege” while not having to do anything or, more importantly, give up anything. They can’t even have a conversation with someone who sees the world differently without resorting to calling someone a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, bigot and trying to have them banned from campus, or ruin them and their reputation. They say they feel black peoples’ pain because they took a trip to Africa to help the disadvantaged, but are unwilling to go to a black neighborhood in the City in which they live. These same college students will espouse the joys of diversity, but will in the same breath assume you are only on campus because of affirmative action or that all black people grew up in poverty. My personal favorite is declaring with surprise how articulate a black classmate is despite the fact that we are attending the same institution of higher learning as they are.

.

The Democrats are not liberals, they are Democrats. The same with college students. Both tend to be more "liberal" than say, the GOP. The above is society not liberalism.

A true liberal would never have a problem hearing the other side. We invented the idea.

True liberalism is dead and has been replaced with corporation cuddling working class screwing neodem's

I would like to particularly agree with this post.

The Republican Caucus in Congress has more Pussies than 10 Bunny Ranches...and their craven fear of Obama and his Get Out-of Jail Free Race Card...and of his sycophant Media--is what gave rise to Donald Trump.

I have two Republican Senators, and a Republican Congressman--all men--but not a set of balls in the bunch.

They just want to keep their heads down, take no controversial stances, keep getting re-elected. Pussies. Selfish Pussies looking out for nobody but themselves.

The Federal Government has been completely corrupted by this pompous dumb-ass closet Socialist Obama---who swore to faithfully execute the laws, but instead has intentionally undermined them....and only a handful of ***** Republicans have shown any fight at all. Gowdy, Chafitz, a very few others.

Disgusting Cowardice. And now too scared to support Trump even though it could mean the most corrupt, most avaricious, unhealthy, coat-tail riding, pathological liar, liberal and least fit candidate in American History will get to appoint 3 or more Federal Judges.

**** the Socialists. But at least we know they are the enemy to the America which has been the greatest Society in History.

Double **** the Republican Pussies who were supposed to protect it and instead, let it go out of pernicious cowardice and raw self-interest.

And leave a special place in ***** Republican Hell for Mitt Romney.

Yes! And that's why many are troubled by the examples the writer points out in her piece of "liberals" behaving in the opposite way.
.

Those are NOT LIBERALS. They may be liberal, in thought and action, but they are not liberals which is why we call them Democrats and College Students.

The Founding Fathers had no political parties. They were liberals and used liberalism as the foundational principle to create a republic in which people with liberal attitudes could go to college and join political parties. They all have different names so why is this so ******* hard for you people to understand that they are different things?

They consider themselves liberals.

Who cares what they think, when they've wrong.

I have two Republican Senators, and a Republican Congressman--all men--but not a set of balls in the bunch.

So in other words, they're just like every other gutless conservative, which is all conservatives. They can't face an actual liberal without wetting themselves, so they cry about how meaaaaannnnn the liberals are, whimper something about "socialists", and then run from any actual discussion.

Maybe someday you'll develop a spine, and find yourself capable of something besides getting hysterical about the phantom socialists that your cult leaders have ordered you to fear. But I doubt it. Conservatives who develop the ability to think independently get cast out of their wuss-herd. They're not a brave bunch, and the thought of having to take responsibility for themselves is just too terrifying for them.

I've always said so-called liberals are the worst racists out there. Conservative racists are fairly straight forward about their views towards other races.

If there was no whiny victim mentality there would be no Democratic Party.

I also agree with this.

Black Americans are treated like pets by the liberal establishment and lackeys.

 

[Onyx]

People are "educated" just well enough to repeat what they've been taught.

They're "educated" not to question it either.

Absolutely.

People only think for themselves within the realm of what they are told to think about.

Knowledge does not correlate to intelligence. Our society seems to think it does.

Agreed, but I think of them as two different kinds of racism.

The right wing racism is the traditional, dumbass, butt-scratching, ignorant white racism that obviously still does exist.

The left wing racism is more of a de facto racism, in which minorities are used as pawns for political advantage. They refuse to challenge minorities to do what must be done - look in the mirror, clean their own house, raise & maintain standards and expectations - because they don't want "offend" such a key constituency. Being defended and enabled and spun for keeps them on the farm, even though it retards their growth.
