What you say doesn’t take into consideration the dystopian shit happening in SF and LA despite how you try and spin it as a positive.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/08/politics/louisiana-red-neck-christmas-parade-trump/index.html

But behind the jokes was a more serious reality. The parade route went past people living in an RV and a tent, abandoned stores, a pawn shop, and a couple Dollar Generals. More than 30% of Bawcomville residents live below the poverty line, and the surrounding Ouachita Parish was deemed a persistent poverty county in a 2022 report by the Congressional Research Service. A 2015 documentary called “The Other Side,” which follows a man addicted to meth, was filmed in Bawcomville. The area is well-known locally as a poor community in need of better housing, and there’s a derogatory definition of a resident on Urban Dictionary (“characterized by having at least two broke-down vehicles on their front lawn…”).

“People don’t realize this is kind of like a Third World country,” Holmes said. There were many homeless people in the area, living in abandoned mobile homes, she explained. “And in the woods,” Mayo added. “Makeshift tents.” They said homelessness was harder to see there than in the streets of the big cities.

If she were the president of a prestigious university, yes.

There's a fine line between words and deeds tho.
I think it's called the Chait line.

It's not hard to tell the difference between thought or ideas, speech or words, and deeds or action. For years, the academic left hsd been notorious for trying to censor ideas and words they don't like. The right has a history of that too.

At what point will the white guilt crowd be assuaged and mainstream US media can actually call out this kind of bullshit? We are reassigning completely different sets of rules for people based on skin color, which I’m relatively certain we were trying to eliminate?

Celebrating electeds of color is fine for an outside group.  Not for the chief executive, act accordingly.

'I'm not a progressive': Fetterman breaks with the left, showing a maverick side
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has drawn fire from progressives over his fierce support for Israel and broken with immigration advocates with his support for curtailing migration.

Murph is sad....

I did enjoy Fetterman's "he's not a Senator for NJ, he's a Senator for Egypt."

There's a certain subset of progressives who demand that you have to support every jot and iota of their positions, otherwise you are The Enemy and an Evil Neoliberal Incrementalist Corporatist Wall Street Shill.  Fetterman is telling them to go shove off.

But he was already heading in that direction anyways.  He shed a lot of the more progressive positions he used to have leading into 2022 and ran as more of a Sherrod Brown-type Democrat.

The problem isn't celebrating POC who were elected.  We should celebrate the elected POC - that was a thing that didn't happen in this country for literally hundreds of years.

To not invite the white people is really ugly.  Why not include them in the celebration of elected people of color?

Obviously this sort of thing is red meat for the "EVERYONE is bad - but especially the libs!" morons.
