QUAKER OATS DUMPS AUNT JEMIMA!

I think most of this baloney is coming from middle class whites who operate under the assumption that everything and everyone is racist unless proven otherwise.

Such whites prove themselves to be part of the enlightened woke by calling for cancellations, reparations, kneeling and the caretaking of the black race. What the Bush administration referred to as “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”

They don’t really do it for black people. They do it for themselves.

Urban Dictionary: soft bigotry of low expectations

You are probably right--who ever it is (black or white) needs to get a life.

So you're saying the uneducated masses of the 'true woke' are being misled by whitey into the destruction of their own culture and awareness.

I think you're full of baloney.

No. The highly educated masses who come from moneyed families are the ones who are misled. Think @rickyb with degrees.

I know @It will be fine disagrees as a fellow college graduate. But I believe there has been both a hard left shift and a marked intolerance for speech one disagrees with on today's college campuses. Seems to have really gotten going around 7-10 years ago.

@It will be fine is correct about how the college experience tends to change one politically. I for sure moved from hard right to centrist as I met and regularly interacted with gays, minorities etc. But part of the reason I didn't shift even further left is because I went through college during a time when thinking for yourself was still highly encouraged. Both sides of the political spectrum seem to me to be right and wrong about different things. To follow either no matter what doesn't make sense to me.

Just because your communist colleagues have worked within higher education for years doesn't mean their ideology has always been pervasive within it. It hasn't. It's those who don't have a living memory of the evils of communism who are more vulnerable to their communist spewings. Namely, today's 20 and 30 something hard leftists.

In the past, young Americans by and large attended college to obtain the skills necessary for them to become valued members of the capitalist workforce. Not to learn that their Country is evil to its core and in 2020, still oppressive enough to justify one's becoming a ward of the state. Or permanent parental grifter.

I went from hard-left anarchist to centrist Libertarian when I was at Ga Tech 1972-1977.
I still retain much of my Social Left views but transitioned from anarchist to Fiscal Libertarian in my governmental views.

It doesn't help that kids going into college see a lot of debt and lack of opportunities coming out of college. That's owed to our turning into a service economy and makes them ripe for believing the -isms being pushed in school.
