Here we have the left telling the right they cannot talk about bigotry because "bigotry".

I heard the same argument on a sports talk radio show a few nights ago. LeSean McCoy had claimed that Eagles coach Chip Kelly was getting rid of more black players than white players and intimated that it might be due to racism. When callers brought up that McCoy was possibly making a false claim of racism, the host dismissed those calls saying something to the effect that "you callers are more concerned by false racism claims and than you were of actual racist events whenever they took place". In other words, the callers did not care about racism, presumably because they were racists themselves.

Now let's not lose sight of the fact that the right does the same thing with the patriotism issue: the left cannot be patriotic because of past issues like lack of support for certain wars and lack of support for the "Patriot Act", etc.

So we have the left with their issue with which they get to lash the outsiders" (tolerance), and we have the right with their pet issue with which they get to lash "outsiders" (patriotism).



But the truth is that the right can be discriminated against and the left can be patriotic, and anyone who says otherwise is only protecting their "privilege" respecting certain issues.

No-talk about the beheading of Christians in the middle east.

This would also preclude Muslims in America from addressing the discrimination they face here. Anyone can face discrimination and shushing them is only exercising "privilege" over an issue.
