We know historically that the Progressive Movement is overwhelmingly White with fare fewer "Person's of Color" then one might expect.
We also know that Progressives tend to have an elitist arrogance coupled with and air of moral superiority? They have in fact often been called "The East Coast Liberal Establishment"
With the above as a backdrop I decided to look up the definition of the word.
Upon review of the above definition one could conclude that Progressives are indeed racists. Clever & Sophisticated ones but racists none the less. Let's examine definition one.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. - If Progressives didn't believe this to be true then what basis would there be for Affirmative Action? Are Progressives aware of the stereotype they've created? Take the case of my dear friend who worked her ever loving assets off to get an Ivy League Scholarship. Once at Penn she was derided as a "Quota Queen". She got to Penn the old fashioned way, she EARNED an academic scholarship. She is now COO of one of the fastest growing minority owned (by Her) enterprises in the US. Yet the average Progressive thinks she couldn't have possibly gotten there on her own without their help via Affirmative Action. To me, Affirmative Action is the Progressive saying, "You poor dumb (Insert racial slur) how could you possibly think you can succeed without the White Man's help".While this statement is seldom spoken it lives and breathes in the action of the Progressive.
Moving along to definition number 2.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. - we've seen countless reverse discrimination lawsuits adjudicated in favor of whites, particularly white males and particularly in academia where the Progressive bias of the faculty and administration is well documented even in the MSM.
The Progressive movement in my observation is a lot closer to the KKK than it is to the ideals espoused by MLK in his "I have a Dream" speech where a person's Principles mattered more than his Pigmentation. Funny thing is this. Ask yourself, "Did Condy Rice get the job of Secretary of State because she earned it? OR was she yet another high level "Quota Queen"?
Sadly, thanks to the racist Progressives we'll never really know will we?
