On DeSantis': whites are victims of racism. Okay . . .
They are judged by the color of their skin. Harassed and subject to corporate racism at work. Taught to feel bad about themselves and to hate their country. Subject to dark emotions of pessimism and despair.
Forget the water hoses, the back of the bus and the disparities that, to this day, affect a segment of the U.S. population. The new frontier in the civil-rights movement is the threat white people and children are facing from Black communism, cultural Marxism and, the biggest monster: Woke ideology.
Theres no need for a Selma to Montgomery march or a lunch counter sit-in. White folks have found a new civil-rights leader in Gov. Ron DeSantis, who in a buzzword-filled news conference on Wednesday rolled out his proposed Stop W.O.K.E. Act. The phrase stands for Stop Wrongs Against Our Kids and Employees Act.
Unlike Martin Luther King or John Lewis, DeSantis doesnt seek to unify the country behind the call for equal rights. He seeks to divide it by stoking resentment of racial-equity efforts at schools and workplaces, which he equates to critical race theory, the new enemy in the GOPs culture wars. The theory, taught mostly at law schools, says that racism goes beyond individual actions and is embedded in laws and institutions. Its been subverted by politicians like DeSantis who describe it as an attempt to admonish white people and make them feel guilty about the countrys not-so-rosy history.

(13,903 posts)I think the reason you feel bad about yourself...well, lets stop right there. I doubt any christofascist bigot feels bad about being a bigot.
So I am not sure who De Santis is trying to protect here? His fellow bigots? Conscientious liberal white folks who are aware of their privilege? Really? De Santis is looking out for the libs?
