re: #590 reine.de.tout

And I get annoyed at the automatic let’s ignore what goes on elsewhere because it’s NOT AS BAD.

And where did I say to ignore it, please?

If NJD wants to point it out as a bit of perspective that neither “side” is 100% pure, what’s it to ya?

There’s isn’t a claim that either side is 100% pure. Nobody thinks that. Nobody ever suggests that. I don’t find that a bit of perspective. I find it an attempt at false equivalence, and I call it such.

That’s what it is to me.

Or is that thought just a bit uncomfortable?

Who are you talking to, Reine? Is it some stereotype, or is it me? I’m happy to acknowledge the racism on the Democratic side, or the ‘liberal’ side. I’ve talked about it at length, about the deep racism of Boston, an entrenched liberal/Democratic city.

So why on earth would you think I’d be ‘uncomfortable’ with being shown racism stemming from the ‘left’?
