Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin, Matt Lauer, Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, Jeff Zucker, Whoopi Goldberg.\u00a0 What do all these names have in common?\u00a0 They\u2019re all feel-good stories about the Left.\u00a0 For all but the last name on that list there is a causal chain that has come to be known as the MeToo movement.\u00a0 All of these men have been brought down because they were blindsided by the changes to what was considered acceptable and unacceptable male\/female behavior among the corporate Left.\u00a0 And since they are all progressives it means they had to be cast into the outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth for being heretics to the narrative.\u00a0 And one more case is waiting in the wings, Don Lemon.\u00a0 CNN\u2019s parent company is looking to change directions and they may use as an excuse to fire him that Lemon is facing criminal charges for a sexual assault charge based on his disgusting behavior.\u00a0 With any luck he\u2019ll be hung out to dry too and will have to join Jussie Smollett in the ranks of gay, black former celebrities.\u00a0 But this is just the nature of the intersectional grievance culture.\u00a0 It\u2019s always looking for more heads for the chopping block of social justice outrage.\u00a0 Cancelled and punished sinners are always in demand.<\/p>\n
Whoopi Goldberg on the other hand is a special case.\u00a0 She is the literal manna from heaven.\u00a0 Along with the other harridans on \u201cThe View\u201d she opines on everything from Roman Polanski\u2019s rape of a thirteen-year-old girl, to Bill Cosby\u2019s date rape trial, to the Holocaust.\u00a0 And no matter what else she does she always manages to sound like an ignoramus.<\/p>\n
The most memorable occasion was when she described what Polanski did to the thirteen-year-old as, \u201cnot rape, rape.\u201d\u00a0 Who could be more eloquent in her tone-deaf stupidity than that?\u00a0 Her latest pronouncement was that the Holocaust couldn\u2019t have been caused by racism because Germans and Jews are both \u201cwhite.\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing that didn\u2019t go over big with her \u201cView\u201d co-host Joy Behar.<\/p>\n
Actually, in a way it does speak to her sincerity.\u00a0 Whoopi just doesn\u2019t realize that there\u2019s no place for honesty in the intricacies of the intersectional hierarchy.\u00a0 She sees two groups of white people and all she thinks is, \u201chow could there be racism if there ain\u2019t no black folks around.\u201d\u00a0 And based on her experience with white people she assumes they will defer to her judgement on racism since she is black and they revere the opinions of black people with respect to the theory of racism.<\/p>\n
Now you\u2019d think since her name is Goldberg that she\u2019d have done some research on the Holocaust exception.\u00a0 Since World War II and especially in the entertainment industry the Holocaust has a very special dispensation.\u00a0 For this special case only, ethnicity is considered equivalent to race and Hitler is defined as the<\/strong> racist par excellence.\u00a0 By claiming that the Holocaust wasn\u2019t a racist event she was absolving Hitler of racism.\u00a0 This was indeed a bridge too far.\u00a0 But Whoopi is black so she couldn\u2019t be fired.\u00a0 She was suspended which at least indicates the severity of the crime.\u00a0 Luckily for her she cannot be cast into the outer darkness like all those white men.\u00a0 All they could do was bring in the Anti-Defamation League to warn everyone about how dangerous this kind of talk is and how antisemites are lurking in the shadows around the set of \u201cThe View\u201d waiting to begin the next pogrom.\u00a0 And eventually Whoopi will recover a memory about how her blasphemy had been inspired by something Donald Trump must have said to her in a dream or something.<\/p>\n So that was about six hundred rambling words about Leftists devouring their own.\u00a0 What\u2019s the point?\u00a0 Very simply, this is proof that there is no coalition of the aggrieved.\u00a0 It\u2019s every Leftist for himself out there and the fairy tale about the great circle of people who will live in harmony and peace once the straight white men are banished is just that, a fairy tale.\u00a0 The cracks are there and have always been there.\u00a0 When Jesse Jackson called New York City Hymietown that was his true feeling.\u00a0 When lesbians speak honestly about \u201ctrans-women\u201d they are horrified at the idea that they might be approached by them sexually.\u00a0 Black men think of white feminists as \u201cKarens.\u201d\u00a0 Asians fear inner city blacks as violent criminals.\u00a0 And many black women react violently if a trans-woman shows up in the restroom they are using.<\/p>\n The brave new world that the woke tell us about is a product of the carefully curated social networks.\u00a0 In the real world we have cities coming apart at the seams and crime engulfing the multicultural \u201cparadises\u201d of New York, Seattle and Chicago.\u00a0 This coalition is a product of the college campuses and the imagination of the perpetual students who inhabit them.\u00a0 As the economy stalls out and crime peels off white suburban women and other white-collar groups from the coalition it\u2019s going to look a lot less robust.<\/p>\n My thought is it\u2019s time to stop worrying so much about the unbeatable coalition of tomorrow and instead think more about the policy holes of today.\u00a0 Republicans need to run on runaway crime and inflation.\u00a0 Those are realities that force the middle class to listen.\u00a0 Tomorrow will take care of tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Charlie Rose, Mark Halperin, Matt Lauer, Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo, Jeff Zucker, Whoopi Goldberg.\u00a0 What do all these names have in common?\u00a0 They\u2019re all feel-good<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3300,1425],"class_list":["post-17648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-cancel-culture","tag-co-opting-some-of-the-lefts-coalition"],"yoast_head":"\n
