We're white liberals

Kind of ironic that whoever made this video whitewashes minority issues while pretending to care about minority issues.
Regarding voting:
Black voters remained overwhelmingly loyal to the Democratic Party, voting 92%-8% for Biden.
And regarding Project 2025, The woman in the video simultaneously acknowledges its sheer fascism while downplaying criticism of it. It's an impressive feat, really.
- “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”.
  The line is commonly used to imply that someone who denies something very strongly is hiding the truth of it
  
  I don't watch Jimmy Dore
- Same. I'm not white, nor liberal, and this is weird.
  Why are the people who claim to be fighting against the western hegemony, adopting the same belief structures as those they criticize?
  White people co-opting racial discrimination to discriminate against themselves isn't helping people of color. All it does is just lend credence to the whole defunct ideology of race science.
  This isn't trying to abolish racism, they're just trying to rearrange the paradigm. They could have just said liberals and made the same point, the only reason to add white is to sound edgy and pander to "non racist" people who still implicitly believe in racial science.
  
  The easiest way to onboard toxic ideas in progressive spaces is to plop the word "white" in front of a thought. "I really hate these white gays" or "white trans women are entitled" etc.
  And as always... If TERFs taught us anything, ironic bigotry is a couple steps away from unironic bigotry.
I’m a white liberal, I downvote the truth while pretending it doesn’t apply to me.
