      This kind of mindset is going to crush the liberal/left. It repels far more people than it attracts. It turns people into reactionaries.

      So long as the mindset continues to dominate Woke Liberal Media without challenge or critique, this dynamic will only worsen. Hence, Trump.

      The "incorrect" word I used was "ordinary." Apparently that's a "dog-whistle" rather than a trivially common word people use everyday.

          I'm not "speaking for them" I'm relaying my interactions with them. That's called reporting.

          It's not a "dog whistle," it feels reductive and doesn't reflect the experience of actual people reading the statement.

          no. It is not the "incorrect" word. It is your racist attitude that you know more about "Ordinary black people" than we do.

          when splitting a race up as "ordinary" automatically meant the others are non ordinary which is clearly an insult.
