In reply to the discussion: The online attitudes of quite a few "Progressive" white folks regarding dehumanizing language [View all]JustAnotherGen
(33,786 posts)2. This is beautiful and very much on point for me today
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Today I was appalled at the humanization of a woman (Melania) who deliberately and maliciously attacked President Obama.
Just because Michelle and Barack are polite and gracious (because it's WHO they are) to her face - doesn't mean they LIKE her.
Seriously.
Yet -they always had excuses or 'turn the other cheek' bullshit when our ENEMIES attacked first lady Obama as a monkey or an animal.
They always have excuses.
You know, I'm not even frustrated. But I hope they are beginning to realize why I like thinks like 'tax revenge'. It hurts people that think like them, and that's the truth.
