Who have categorized POC into easy short hand stereotypes, so that they can sort out what their supposed to feel or say in a given situation quickly and painlessly.

Way too many DUers believe that their assumptions overrule your experience

It is explained away in their minds as "common sense" because they are convinced that they have POC's best interest in mind.

Pisses them off to no end when the logic short circuit is pointed out.

The belief that intentions matter more than actions is way way way too widespread among Dems.

My take is that "intentions" are like a 5 year old in the time out chair yelling "I didn't mean it THAT WAY"

Actually giving each person respect - consideration for their unique situation?
NAH too much effort involved...

After all it isn't like most of us have to live love or coexist in day to day life.

Sadly most people live segregated lives.

Peace
