Numerous sociology professors who teach and believe critical race theory. I mean shit that was also taught to me in my high school.Anyone who supports affirmative action is guilty of holding whites and blacks to different standards and guilty of the bigotry of low expectations.
Anyone who seriously goes along with the BLM chant "We have nothing to lose but our chains" holds a rather insulting and demeaning view towards the agency of black people.
Even some prominent figures such as a Senator who laughed at the increasing white male suicide rate, Hillary Clinton barring white reporters and only allowing racial minorities to a specific event, Samantha Bee saying white people are terrible and have ****ed America (she was invited to the correspondents dinner). The Huffington post had that article about how white males in Africa should lose their right to vote for several decades to "fix the wrongs of the past" or some shit.
Sure this isn't the mainstream norm, but it's certainly a sizeable cultural and ideological movement.
Okay, guess I'll just take your word on "numerous sociology professors".
Affirmative Action is overall shitty as the most qualified person for a job can be left out, but I understand why it was put in place as we can't ignore that qualified people where not getting jobs due to their skin color, sex etc.
Honestly, now sure what you mean there, "chains" could be figuative. But BLM has unfortunately been hi-jacked by the loudest idiots. It started out sensible though.
Not sure. Not sure. Sam Bee is a comedian, I'd not put too much stock in her. Not sure.
Honestly, this doesn't seem like a major movement or even prevailing idea. IMO, most people realize and can separate individual racism which any person regardless of color can be and institutionalized racism, which is the real problem.
