People are allowed to be racist. People are allowed to say racist things in their own home. In their cars… in whatever societal subculture or group they belong to.
My point in this thread is that society will decide what is acceptable and not acceptable. Often it has very little to do with your political identity and It changes over time. The above examples are private… but even society decided there are even something’s done under your own roof that is unacceptable… like watching child pornography. Marrying a 14 year old. Eating dogs.
What is the Jim Crow equivalent today, that is being pushed by Black LGBTQ women to change Christian white male culture? (You’ve been sprinkling your conspiracies through a few thread and seems THEY are YOUR perceived leaders of BLM)
You just named 5 aspects of culture generation. Congrats. What you haven’t done is describe who THEY is and what power they have. You haven’t explained what is dominant yet.
You sloppily mentioned Jim Crow as an example in another post. Jim Crow was dominant law built and instituted to elevate one already dominant culture and oppress another tiny one. It was the foundation.
And checked the ones you used in your post. They is the Woke. They have the power to change the culture. What is dominant? Woke. What is waning? Liberalism. Tolerance.
Sloppily? Jim Crow was unpersoning. Yes, it was instituted to maintain the status quo of the existing power structure. Very good. By unpersoning members of the black nation. By George, you’re getting it.
The legal system is a great culture generator previously identified. Who put hate speech into it? Who added charges for “hate crimes”? Who decided who would be charged for protests vs riots or not?
Generals Bell and Crenshaw are two of the leaders on that front. Harvard Law et al are cranking out the recruits. Hell, they have the SCOTUS talking about equity.
What aspects of the “dominant culture” is “the woke” changing?
I said sloppily because you tried to equate Jim Crow oppressive laws against people of a certain skin color to… to… I don’t know. How would the equivalent of Jim Crow be instituted today on conservatives?
Not being able to drink at the same water fountain because of your skin color (codified by law) is not the same as getting banned on 1 social media site because. For example
What dominant culture runs the legal system? What emerging culture is taking it over?
What THEY decided that killing dogs for meals was unacceptable? Why is killing deer for sport acceptable but killing dogs for sport isnt. What dominant culture decided that?
Under a system of constitutionally guaranteed and (generally and without too many and too glaring exceptions) practiced civil rights and liberties, opposition and dissent are tolerated unless they issue in violence and/or in exhortation to and organization of violent subversion. The underlying assumption is that the established society is free, and that any improvement, even a change in the social structure and social values, would come about in the normal course of events, prepared, defined, and tested in free and equal discussion, on the open marketplace of ideas and goods.[2] Now in recalling John Stuart Mill’s passage, I drew attention to the premise hidden in this assumption: free and equal discussion can fulfill the function attributed to it only if it is rational expression and development of independent thinking, free from indoctrination,manipulation, extraneous authority.
