People of Color – This is simply just a fancy way of saying
anyone who is not white. It is a way of excluding someone based on skin color
that is hiding behind a mask of compassion. It is also discriminating against
the ‘People of Color’ by assuming that all people who are not white have the
same experiences and desires. This is why you see such vitriol directed toward ‘People
of Color’ who defy the norms being forced on them by Progressives.
Ally – This is the term used to describe people who are
white or male that support those who are not. Again this is a way to separating
white people, men and white men in particular from other groups. It carries connotations
that while you might support Progressive ideas you cannot fully become part of
the group, simply because of immutable characteristics determined at birth. It
also implies that you do not get to call the shots but need to be submissive to
those who call you an ally or you will lose that status and become an enemy.
Islamophobia – This word is simply a cudgel to beat people
into submission. It is used to brand those opposed to the Progressive party
lines as someone driven by hate of someone else. It is curious that there is no
corresponding word for other religions, no Christophobia, no Buddaphobia, and
no Hinduphobia. The closest thing is Anti-Semitism which usually takes the form
of racism. Criticize the Bible, put a crucifix in a jar of urine and burn the
American flag and all is fine, but criticize Islam or draw a picture of
Mohammed and you’ll be branded an Islamaphobe and probably have riots of
Muslims that are excused by mainstream media as justified outrage. It also
holds back those Muslims who seek to reform the religion away from the violent fundamentalism
prevalent among terrorist groups. It also keeps those Muslims seeking changes
in a system of oppression.
Racism – The Progressives are trying to change the meaning
of the word racism to mean Power + Privilege. This is so they can justify
racist acts by simply denying they are racist. If someone lacks power or
privilege then they cannot be racist from this perspective. They are in essence
absolving themselves from the sin of racism in their core ideology.
Privilege – This word simply means someone who is doing
better than someone else. Of course the Progressive will attribute this success
to systemic racism and unconscious bias as opposed to sacrifice and hard work. Again
white straight men are the most privileged regardless of everything else, the
poorest white male is more privileged than the daughters of former president
Barak Obama. This word is also used as a slur against those who disagree with
the Progressive ideology.
Unconscious Bias – This is the idea that people are
inherently racist/sexist/homophobic etc. No scientific test has been developed
to accurately determine Unconscious Bias and if you are asked to attend
Unconscious Bias training I would recommend refusing to attend or recording it
and sharing it with the world. No one regardless of intention has the right to
force you to alter your unconscious, do not allow them access to the deepest
areas of your mind, that is your and yours alone.
Systemic Oppression – This is the idea that any given system
is set up to oppress certain people. While this might be true in that a
hierarchy of competence will exclude the incompetent. The Progressive will
generally be referring to a specific company or government agency keeping out ‘people
of color’ and women. This is often cited as the reason for the need of equality
of outcome.
Equity – This one has been hotly debated but when put
forward by a Progressive it means that everyone ends up with the same in the
end. While this might sound good on the surface the only way this is possible
is through the use of force. It pushes aside hard work, talent, competence, and
sacrifice. This means when the Progressive looks at any structure or system and
do not see parity within that structure with society (50/50 men and women for
example) than it is not equal and that is due to Systemic Oppression.
Intersectionality – This is the Progressive attempt to
rectify the idea that a straight white woman has more privilege than a straight
black woman. It is a way of organizing society and determining levels of
oppression. Almost like a caste system, with white straight cis able-bodied men
on the bottom (have the most privilege) and black queer Trans disabled woman on
the top (has the least privilege). The interesting thing about
intersectionality is that taken to its logical conclusion you end up with
individuality. Meaning that no two people are going to intersect in the same
way.
Hate Speech – This is just censorship hiding behind the mask
of compassion. Since what is considered hateful is subjective it leaves it to
those in power to determine what is and is not hate speech. Of course to the
Progressive the only thing that is real in the world is power, so they can
justify the use of it to do what they want.
