Heartening responses to awful NYT editorial

[frazzled]

2. It's an opinion being spread by many here

I've seen a bunch of threads begging us to accept white working class racism as okay, because those people are under pressure.
I saw a couple of threads urging us not to talk about gun safety measures, because it alienates the lumpen masses.
I've seen threads saying we shouldn't focus so much on racial minorities (meaning on equality).

And these all seem to be from the group of recent self-exiled returnees who like to call themselves "progressive." It's stunning.
