SourceThe Left preaches tolerance but excoriates those who disagree with it. It claims to seek equality or its conveniently and endlessly malleable derivative, equity, but gives preferences unequally to favored groups. It brags that it’s a passionate defender of democracy but works to cancel legitimate votes by making fraudulent voting easier. It arrogates “science” to its partisan causes but rejects the facts of gender, abortion, genetically modified foods, COVID-19, economics, and much else. The list of hypocritical disparities stretches to somewhere over the rainbow.
But one disparity is perhaps weirder and more glaring than all the others. It is on the issue that obsesses the Left most of all — that of race. White gentry liberals, who run the Democratic Party and lead its militant base, are utterly out of sync with the racial minorities they claim to represent and insist they want to help.
One should not be surprised that the Left’s leaders and ideologues are out of step, or that they think hoi polloi should do what they are told and accept things they do not believe. That is the way they treat all ordinary Americans. But on the issue of race, this knowing-better-than-thou attitude sits particularly uncomfortably, for it smacks strongly of the paternalistic arrogance of colonialism that, in theory at least, the modern Left detests.
Does this not ring true of those who currently run Washington, the universities, and most of the national news media? Take up the liberal burden/ Go teach the Leftist creed/ Send out your pseudo-scholars/ Our captive people need/ The care of justice warriors/ Who will plant the good woke seed.
