'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts

The film "Get Out" is a good commentary on the "white liberal who just wants to help" and how transparent it truly is.  (The creepy family, well, I won't spoil the film, but they are of this type.)

The ones who say "I voted for Obama twice, I did my part!" without actually understanding the genuine struggles that someone who is black goes through.  They are almost more dangerous than actual racists who are generally obvious and avoidable.  They can be dangerous because they believe that all they need is token gestures rather than, say, donating to charities to improve the situations for children of single parents or mentoring someone from an underprivileged background who wants to get into the industry but maybe lacks the exact skills.

You are fitting quite all off the stereotypes as an ex-green party member saying that the left assumes everyone is Intelligent and listens to reason and ending the same sentence with that the masses are Ignorant and vote for the pandering Right without realizing the Irony in that.

Are you by any chance also driving a Porsche?

No i don't drive a Porsche. In an ideal world you could explain facts to people and they would understand what you are trying to tell them, agree and behave accordingly. But people have ego's and don't like to be wrong. I don't mind being wrong, i will work with the information I have until I am given better information and will be happy to change based on that. Bu most people won't change which is why society changes so slowly and why new things do not take off quickly.

Typical example is electric cars. Petrol heads poo poo them as being low performance, but if they actually drive one many are convinced by their obvious superior performance. Just telling them is not enough. But that sort of quick demo of look how much better "this" way of doing it works is not possible in most other things and people cling on to the past and what they know as they fear change, not because of the change but it challenges their current ideas and this is stupid.

Politics but... there is a general opinion that if people don't appreciate a "rational" argument then they must be stupid. I think all sides have that. However, parties which don't label voters as stupid have generally been more successful.
