On a “White Dudes for Harris” virtual call, it was probably fitting that “The Dude” dropped in. Actor Jeff Bridges addressed a fundraising call geared toward white men supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ and sang her praises on Monday night.
If you want to use historical precedent to make reductionist takes, really nobody should ever organize into any kind of group because if you dig far enough back everyone has violent, savage ancestors. History has proven that all groups of people have, at some point, done horrible things. There should be no United Nations because literally every government has a dark history. Also, how can we trust teachers (who each have had some horrible things in their ancestry) to teach our children?! Doctors should not provide care because there is a long history of systemic abuse in the field.
At least be consistent.
As for current events, maybe separate the good and the bad instead of just labeling everyone in a group bad. Historically and in the present lots of groups fought and bled for equity. You’re shitting all over it.
Yes, it’s called historical precedent. And not even historical anymore, just ask anyone in downtown Nashville.
