Hypocritical NIMBYist condescending douchebags who tend to live in places like Brooklyn, Cambridge and San Francisco, and who have both the means and power to solve the underyling socioeconomic root causes of racism, but instead flail around on message boards complaining about red states...present company excluded of courseHow do you define an 'elite liberal'?
Hey guys, our friend Noah here has his finger on the pulse of the ‘low level liberal circles’. What are these circles and how did you come to get such insider knowledge of them?
Lol, your bullshit is so utterly transparent.
You are making claims not in evidence. Care to give that evidence? Sidwell Friends didn't have a problem accepting Sasha and Malia.The elite liberal throws a hissy fit if his kids school allow policies that put in minority kids there. The elite liberal doesn't know any minorities personally and neither does he want to. A lower middle class guy would generally have no problems sharing meals with minorities. Who is the actual racist?
They also aren’t afraid of calling a racist black persons one. . . . but they aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade.
Just not to their face, amIrite?
They’ll call a racist a racist...?
However, that's not an excuse to keep from learning and thinking about what the things we say really mean, and the cultural baggage attached to them. Here are five common phrases used in Western culture that have some seriously messed-up, racist backgrounds.
1. "Call A Spade A Spade"
Until recently, I genuinely thought this phrase only meant "call it like it is." I grew up hearing it, and even though I've never used it that often (mainly because I just don't think it's that commonplace among millennials), I didn't think there was anything problematic about the term. However, after doing some research, I'm definitely not using it again.
"Call a spade a spade" has been in use for nearly half a millennium (and variations on it date at least as far back as A.D. 120). But it didn't start to take on the racist connotation it has now until the early 20th century. Evidently, in the 1920s, "spade" started being used as a slang term, and then a derogatory slur, for a black person. This racist shift in the phrase's meaning also lead to the equally offensive phrase "black as the ace of spades."

I bow down to your superiority. I hope that makes you happy.

Here is something that is getting murmured in liberal circles too - albeit at a low level from where they won't allow it to go up.
I wonder if I'm an elite liberal. Am I more racist than a conservative? I am of a modest income but I sure do take the political positions of the elitist liberals...I think?
I purposely bought a condo, for good money, in a neighborhood that is mostly minority. Few African Americans, but mostly hispanics, muslims, asians of various descents. Whites are here but certainly the minority. And I feel I have subconscious racist thoughts. Man I am confuzzled.
Noah please label me.
Damn how did you find out that was a super double secret plan of the elite elites run by the Hollywood elites and the elitist elites who are the most elites elitis among the very elite. Hogwash.
Erase the liberal part and replace with any rich person of any color or political affiliation.
From a brown liberal person, once you erase the racial lines people will still segregate on socioeconomic status.
My father is a great example, the higher he's climbed the social ladder after becoming a US Citizen the more disdain he has for those below him, regardless of color. He doesn't want any dirty poor people moving into his area because it lowers the property value of his home. That's not racist that's just the reality of economic success on most people, regardless of ethnic background.
Don’t you remember, he used to be one of those liberals.Hey guys, our friend Noah here has his finger on the pulse of the ‘low level liberal circles’. What are these circles and how did you come to get such insider knowledge of them?

The truth is, in my opinion, so much worse than you imagine. In the world I see humanity is asleep concerned with what is useless, filled with self hate and an unconscious drive for self extinction. We are the disasters we fear. And there isn't the slightest hope that anybody who is asleep will ever awaken because they don't want to face the pain that is the truth, don't know they do, and don't want to know they don't want to know. I ask myself, then, what is the point of your lament? Why do you want to kick over a rock under which bugs crawl when the whole universe of humanity is rotting from with. Is it your aim to cheer me up by narrowing the issue so drastically? What do you feel? What feeling lies behind what thinking started this thread?There are local radio stations. There are human beings that you may know who are linked to progressive causes. And so on. Why not have something to say about the actual substance? That the Dem party is a cabal run by powerful interests who use minorities as fodder. That its power mechanisms are not much different from the R party.
As usual as is the case with internet mobs, lots of divergences, lots of childish personal attacks and name callings. (Sighs)....
Yet another thread by a racist that pretends they aren't racist?Ah YATBARTPTAR thread. I wish these charade posts would stop.
Careful, don't spill any of that water you're so busy carrying to and fro.
Why can't it be all 3?Remember this is a guy who bragged that he knew a Muslim and confidently declared that most of us didn't. From the way he writes my guess is he's in college or his early 20's. (or just trolling)
That's the spirit.This thread is going nowhere so I give you more Nazis having fun.
Those boys sure know how to party.
I’d disagree with that. The people on the right I talk to aren’t afraid of calling a racist white person a racist. They also aren’t afraid of calling a racist black persons one. Granted some don’t really give a shit that they are racist, but they aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade.
or to prove.Yet another thread by a racist that pretends they aren't racist?

Yup, you are told you have no "compassion for the poor", you are "racist", and so on. Never mind the fact that the people suggesting changes may not be anywhere close to rich themselves - and that is why they have greater exposure to how things actually are, and not in some white paper of a think tank.
It is of course all a matter of maintaining status quo by those deeply entrenched in the system, financially, power wise and so son. As I keep saying, the Dems are as toxic to this country as the Rs. Because they are both morally corrupt, being so much in bed with the system.
Careful, don't spill any of that water you're so busy carrying to and fro.
