(870 posts)If that's any indicator of what is Democrats Representation... then we are to face "Hell" in November. Geez!!!!!!!!!!
"SOME" People... may not be as Democratic as they claim, and some don't aspire to uphold the full of Democratic Ideals and full support of Equality as they claim..... as sadly, in society there are many who refuse to give up the want and like of the ideals of white privilege, and seek and some do maintain a reservation deep within. Some still think in the recesses of their mind, I'm for Equality, as long as it does not affect me!!!!
One who is True to The Democratic Platform and its Ideals... can't be one who equally so, relishes holding on to the reservation of "white privilege".
The OP was very clear and dignified and respect in the composition of this thread... and anyone who claims themselves a true Democrat should have very little challenge understanding what was written !!! If they did not understand the writing.. if they are not with hearing impairment.. then the words of Dr. Rev. William J. Barber, should have awakened anyone, who claims themselves to be a Democrat.
I'll repost the link..
Hopefully people are not still like many were in the 1960's who could not hear Dr. Kings Words.. because the tonality of racism and race bias, prejudice and the want to hold on to white privilege was/is greater than the respect and want for equality. It took the force of law, to get some to let go of racism, and many did so because of the law, but still had no concept to understand the vile while required a law to be passed. Yet, many still could not hear what Dr. King said, because of the inner anguish that reverberated within their sub-conscience selves. sadly some still have not overcome their own sub-conscience in-groomed ideals of the white privilege that was systemic in their environments.
Being a Democrat in this Era and Time in Life is far more than just saying one is a Democrat. .... That goes for Politicians and People....
