Yet the real racists are on the left. Consider Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley saying, "We don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don't need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don't want to be a Muslim voice. We don't need queers that don't want to be a queer voice."
Consider both the racism and the arrogance in that statement.
First, Pressley asserts the right to define the authenticity of voices.
Second, she defines each voice by skin color, religion or sexual orientation rather than the content of their character.
Third, she dismisses or dehumanizes everyone who fails to meet her standard.
Consider her arrogance just in regard to the African American community. By her standard, Secretary Colin Powell isn't authentically black. Neither is Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Secretary Ben Carson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Senator Tim Scott, or senatorial candidate John James.
