Quote from: REDSTATEWARD on June 12, 2021, 08:34:20 PMLeave it to Bill Maher to shine a light into the dark corner of leftist bull shit.HBO's Real Time host, Bill Maher, monologued on progressives' view that progress has not been made in the United States on cultural issues, such as race relations and gay marriage. Maher called those on the left who believed that the United States lacked any progress had "progressophobia," meaning "a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress." Maher continued, mentioning the views on gay marriage and racism have changed over the years in the United States. "This is one of the big problems with wokeness," Maher said, "that what you say doesn't have to make sense or jive with the facts or even be challenged lest the challenge be conflated with racism.'"But saying that White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when The Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay at the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery?"Maher concluded his monologue by saying "t's not a sin, and it's certainly not inaccurate, to say we've come a long way, baby. Not mission accomplished, just a long way."Good for him.He’s walked an unbroken path as have most white folks in the country. Bill is a libertarian and libertarian are nothing but Republicans who want to smoke weed.Libertarians are all about wanting small limited government until they’re up to their asses in floodwaters. Then government can’t get big enough, fast enough.

I'll use all caps so you can concentrate on the question at hand, which is NOT ABOUT BILL MAHER.IS WHITE POWER AND PRIVILEGE AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH?

Hey it's Strawman Ham. I haven't met any progressives who think no progress has been made on civil rights. They're just not complacent because some progress has been made.

They're just not complacent because some progress has been made. I think that Maher made a pretty good point, and no here on the left seems to know how to counter it other than to attack Maher or to dismiss the comment as being irrelevant to the broader discussion on the extremist views of the left.
