Some readers think I’m too hard on leftids. See what you think, after you read this. As townhall.com columnist Matt Vespa asks, “Who thinks like this?” (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/04/12/liberal-writer-donations-to-hockey-team-crash-victims-are-high-because-of-white-n2470230)
On April 4 in Saskatchewan, Canada, a Junior Hockey League bus crashed into a truck and 16 people were killed. Someone set up a GoFundMe page to aid the victims’ families, and raised $4 million in two days.
This seems to have offended one Nora Loreto, a self-described “activist” and “happy socialist.” Here is her quote, verbatim.
“I’m trying not to get cynical about what is a totally devastating tragedy but the maleness, the youthfulness and the whiteness of the victims are, of course, playing a significant role.” It doesn’t appear she’s trying very hard, does it?
In other words, people only contributed to this fund because the victims were young white males and no one but our happy socialist would have cared if it was a junior hockey team consisting of, oh, undocumented migrants or some other Cherished Minority. ‘Cause everybody who’s not her is a racist.
Uh, who’s the racist here? Who’s race-obsessed? Who’s heartless, asinine, and can’t relate to other human beings unless they cohabit with her in the padded cell of her leftid mind?
And these people want to rule us.
Reminds me of Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel”. Even a kindness can not go uncriticized by some of these people.
I don’t feel moved to seek any compromise with them.
Isn’t compassion sexless, raceless, colorless, odorless, tasteless and any other ‘less’ we can think of? The left seems so consumed with looking for ‘more’, they completely miss ‘less’.
“The left seems so consumed with looking for ‘more’, they completely miss ‘less’.” Except, apparently, “merciless,” which this woman seems to have down pat.
They’re pretty good at “brainless,” too.
“,,,unless they cohabit with her in the padded cell of her leftid mind?” – well said. I work with people of all races and many of those I work with are mixed-raced. The ones zeroing on race are the true racists.
