In reply to the discussion: The online attitudes of quite a few "Progressive" white folks regarding dehumanizing language [View all]The Polack MSgt

All I am saying is I think there may be a strong case for the argument that the "picture" could be one of familiarity as well as a sense of superiority. How do you decide where a person fits without any other evidence to strengthen that decision?
So the folks with no power relative to the justice department, zoning commission, banks and licensing boards - those guys' picture of humanity somehow affects the lives of white folks?
We need to hold them to a standard that you are flat out refusing to accept for white folks?
NAH. Disagree
