As Brown America waxes in influence, its longtime white liberal allies are dismayed to discover that the minorities they championed never actually gave a damn about the liberal principles they espoused:
Here’s the Daily Kos founder on the Snowden revelations:
I
don’t give a shit. Seriously, I just don’t care. NSA spying is bad! So
is stop and frisk. So is splitting up families by deporting children to
countries they’ve never been to and don’t speak the language. So is
harassing American muslims.Government overreach
is bad. But to act like having the government track who you call is the
height of government abuse is a very white privileged view of the
privacy issue.But as for Greenwald and Snowden? Seriously, I don’t give two shits.
Please,
Mr. Moulitsas, tell us, what is the proper, non-privileged,
multi-cultural view of the “privacy issue”? Is it one that stays within
the confines of what’s allowed by the Democratic Party? Is it one that
is relevant to the war on women, or voting rights, or immigration, but
ignores the collapse of the rule of law and the justice system (which is
far from a “white privileged” issue)?
Of course a
Mr. Moulitsas doesn’t give a damn about privileged whites such as
Greenwald and Snowden. They are not of his clan or a minority in a
similar position. Imagine how shocked the white liberals are going to be
when they find out their erstwhile allies don’t give a damn about the
equality, the environment, abortion, women’s rights, or any of the
Left’s other sacred causes. They never did, they merely went through
the motions and mouthed all the right words in order to ensure
themselves a place at the table.
The two-party system
based on ideology is totally foreign to most non-Americans, who are
accustomed to interest-based politics. Now that minorities, real ethnic
minorities, make up a significant part of the Democratic party, it
should come as no surprise that they are beginning to reveal the true
nature of their politics. Because of this, don’t be surprised when La
Raza becomes an effective third party in California and begins to
compete directly with the Democrats.
