The line between being decent/kind and being extremely PC or an SJW adherent is sadly blurred. Thank you for calling out how very PC many people have become.

He goes on to talk about how Yang did not want the SNL writer to be fired, and how liberals subsequently called Yang a racist. Then some more interesting points on “white shaming”.

I thought he was spot on here. No doubt, some more liberals will go on to disown him for his continued blasphemy.

The majority. We don't get to this point without a huge amount of people being professional victims.

It's mainly white liberals who live in urban and college academia bubbles who are like this. I find to to be very sickening. As a person of color, white liberals who do this social justice intersectionality woke stuff needs alot of help.

Which part is absurd? That many liberals will disown him?

I can prove you are the one with the absurd view. All you have to do is go to the twitter comments on Bill’s video and see that it has already happened.

They are migrating out to the suburbs and ex-burbs now, bringing their ultra far left progressive views with them. Leaving the "diversity" of the city because they are having kids, and are scared of the Black and Brown people they feel so guilty about. Now entire Metro areas (Cities, Burbs, and ex-Burbs) are all solidly Progressive Democrat. Huge population centers controlling entire states.

I agree liberals have disowned him. I used to be a fan, until I realized how ignorant and biased he is when he honed in on his anti-Muslims rhetoric. You cannot be anti one whole ethnic group and not also hold bigoted views on other groups. Ignorance breeds bigots.
