Come on, Colorado. Let's he reasonable here. The actions of 10,000 extremist liberals DO NOT represent the views and opinions of tens of millions of more level-headed liberals/democrats. You 100% agree with that, right?????
No I don't agree.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
The dems have legalized discrimination against whites and are protecting foreign invaders on the tax payers dime. Not to mention SPYING on law abiding citizens.

Couldn't disagree with you more, but agree to disagree. All good.
No, the sentiments of this model are not indicative of the thoughts of everyone who is a member of some party, everyone who is left of center, etc.
Claiming this represents an entire "side" is unproductive, especially if you're hoping to build consensus that these are indeed bad ideas. All that does is turn something into ammunition to lob across the wall, putting people on the defensive and ensuring a paucity of agreement.
At the same time, pretending this post-modern point of view isn't building in prevalence and acceptance and scope, and essentially ignoring it, is also unproductive. This was the thinking that fueled the debacle at Evergreen State College this past spring, something which many antifa / social justice / regressives saw as a success which should be executed on more campuses this year.
This is illiberalism. Apart from the firing part, about which I already gave my split thoughts, I think this kind of mindset should be roundly criticized by clear-thinking people no matter their political positions otherwise. Not attributed to a wide range of ideological opponents... and not minimized as if it's a miniscule strand of a tiny fringe.
The SJWs aren't going to like this one. L'Oreal fires a transgendered woman who says all white people are violent. Wonder if they'll boycott the company?
She said something dumb, she is a paid spokesperson, they are completely within their rights to fire her for saying something dumb. As probably one of the most liberal people on this forum, I support the right of private companies like L'Oréal to fire people who make the company look bad by saying racist things.
I also support the right of people to choose to spend their money else where. I for one don't buy L'Oréal products so it is a nonissue.
“When I stated that ‘all white people are racist,’ I was addressing that fact that western society as a whole, is a SYSTEM rooted in white supremacy — designed to benefit, prioritize and protect white people before anyone of any other race,”
...is very mainstream left, the same thing you might hear from any race activist or ______-studies prof on any college campus.
And again as a liberal I would say to her, "you are of course welcome to that opinion and I am sorry you feel it was misconstrued but your words were chosen poorly enough that you made your company look bad. It is literally your job to make them look good. They are completely within their rights to fire you. "
