The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They shout "nativist!" "racist!" and those who had the evil in their hearts to say "let's have more assimilation. A common language, a common culture. The melting pot is great---let's keep it, or it will turn to a mosaic ---and then tribes"---- yet when France, Germany, Austria, and many other of the Europeans they always hold up as examples of enlightnment ban hijabs, demand their language be spoken, their norms be followed----Club 401K is silent.

ENCOURAGING bad culture. And attacking those who speak agianst it. No, not from a "that is sin! you'r going to hell!" angle. BUT - they can't stand when someone pointed out - certain communities have 70% births out of wedlock. The nation has 34% ---by and large it's a ticket to povery and prison, and financial desperation and stress and the ensuing things that happen from said stress. That while we can't mandate family ---we CAN, via dialogue encourage it---versus this hodge podge shit that is costing the sytstem money, When people said that THIS cultural breakdown will drain money from other important things - Club 401K shouted "racist!" "extreme!" and persinally attacked --- well, now their stupid ass education, climate, etc---is seeing funds stripped away :)

OnePoorGuy, these are just a few examples.

Basically go to Whole Foods, Yoga class, they'll be there. Go to their self segregated enclaves - they're there.


You're describing the White Savior Complex. It's one of the most subtle, yet pervasive forms of racism the left has left. They've learned not to shout the n-word out loud like they used to: Now, they just assume that all minorities are completely helpless and can't do anything without The Great White liberal Savior to come along and teach them.

Things like

*Getting IDs - no way we can mandate them because everybody knows minorities don't have ID
*Higher academic standards in schools - no way they meet that
*Expect people to follow the rules when entering the country - that's racist

On and on. MORE government programs because all The Little People are incapable of figuring anything out themselves.
