He shows how the news talks about black people by talking about white people instead.

19. I try to be a good ally.

For me, I was gobsmacked by the comment that Sanders was more familiar with racial civil rights than Obama. The insults are flying and it is sad how many people just...don't...get...it! I just popped in a thread about a Republican politician complete with "fag" jokes. Sure, they don't ever say "that word", but the comments are ridiculing sexual orientation. Try to point it out? "Oh, you're being too sensitive!" "That's not what I meant, and you know it!" "I have gay friends who would laugh at the joke and your insinuation my comment is homophobic." Sound familiar?

There is overt racism (other -isms). There are microaggressions. And, there is passive bias. It's the last two which seem to plague the left. Sometimes, it gets to be too much and all one can do is scream and rail against the bigotry!
