(29,710 posts)I probably classify the section of the party that serves business over the people as 'not liberal' but generally what it means like progressive though progressive mostly means more of putting people first to me than left of center so I probably use that a more when making the 'putting people first' but I probably say "populist wing" more.
All I was saying color-blindness & the controversy over the use of the term. To be honest most of criticism over "colorblind" or "I don't see color" or Chris Matthew's infamous "I forgot he was black" appear to come mostly from African-Americans though Tim Wise, a white "anti-racist commentator", used the term in a title of a book which is critical of the use of the term or the "pitfalls" of colorblindness but I imagine probably a whole lot more as well.

Much more than that is all I can say on the appropriateness of the term or not but fully support the ideals. I simply see no other reason but to treat individuals as individuals as we are truly different and people are people. I certainly support that and believe your goals are the same or pretty much similar in the sense of fairness & respect.
