re: #150 Mich-again

Look how the Dems treat gays who leave the leftist plantation. Not very progressive. Its apparently OK for Dems to be openly homophobic as long as the target is a conservative.

Kind of like how African Americans who are conservative immediately get labelled Uncle Tom. Thats such a disgusting part of American Politics. If you are white, you can have whatever political loyalty you like. But for African Americans, if they are not loyal to the Democratic party they can count on lily white leftists saying they aren’t black enough. Whatever the hell that means.

I think that’s what called white/hetrosexual/male (insert adjective of choice) privilege. People on both sides of the political divide use it, and it’s never pretty. I think anyone claiming that amount of anti-Black or anti-Gay sentiment being expressed on the left is somehow greater than that on the right is on very shaky ground, though.
