THOSE WHO DON'T FIGHT EVIL FIGHT STATUES
Why the left's enemies list does not include any real evils.

All my life, I have known this rule about people: Those who don't fight the greatest evils will fight lesser evils or make-believe evils.
...
The problem, however, is that people want to feel morally good about themselves, and no one wants this more than the left. It has written the proverbial book on moral self-esteem. Therefore, it does not merely believe that it is morally superior to all others; it knows it is. Leftists know they are more compassionate, more enlightened, more intellectual and more intelligent than conservatives. And they know that they care more about the "downtrodden," the "marginalized" and the "disenfranchised" than conservatives.
But to feel good about yourself, you have to fight against something bad. Since the left doesn't fight real evil (that would take moral courage in addition to moral clarity), it has to fight lesser evils or made-up evils.
For example, the left relentlessly fights racism in America, even though America is the least racist multiracial society in history; it relentlessly fights sexism in America, the country that has afforded unprecedented equality and liberty to women (but it does not fight the terrible sexism that pervades the world's most women-suppressing societies — those in the Muslim world); and, of course, it fights Nazis and white supremacists — who, though evil, constitute an utterly negligible threat to America today. Fighting Nazis in Germany between 1933 and 1945 was an act of moral heroism. Given their negligible numbers and nonexistent power, fighting Nazis in America in 2017 is an act of moral onanism.
...
And, of course, it fights global warming. Leftists have convinced themselves that the real fight against evil in the world today is not against Islamism; it's against carbon emissions.
And now, we can add statues to the list. The left was AWOL against communism, and it's AWOL against Islamism. But it's in the vanguard of fighting statues.
Those Who Don't Fight Evil Fight Statues
Where are the statues of King George bitches?
Whites like Dennis Prager want to look at racism I a positive light. America is the least racist nation so it's OK for racist symbols to stand. From my prospective as a black man that's not good enough.
Why should any white man care about your perspective?
If you were wise you should because you are not always going to be in the majority. In fact you're little majority status will be over very soon.
You still haven't explained why a white man should care about your perspective. All you've said is that you need to be defeated.
Actually I have explained it.
