The MSM and Libs with their wokeness are ruining America. They think that we are living in this extremely racist time and they seem to want to destroy any remnants of our past. The Biden Administration is pushing Critical Race Theory in schools, a theory that further divides us and revolves around the idea that white people are evil and should be held accountable for slavery, something that no living white person had any part of. Liberal Bill Maher tried to talk some sense to some of his more irrational brethren and remind them that we are living in a much better time.
“Progressophobia, That’s the phrase coined by Steven Pinker to describe a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress,” Maher said on his show. “It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War. … Acknowledging progress isn’t saying ‘we’re done’ or ‘we don’t need more,’ and being gloomier doesn’t make you a better person.”
Maher later explained just how wrong these progressives are.
“There is a recurrent theme on the far left that things have never been worse,” he continued. “Kevin Hart expressed a view many hold when he told The New York Times, ‘You’re witnessing white power and white privilege at an all-time high.’ This is one of the big problems with wokeness — that what you say doesn’t have to make sense or jibe with the facts or ever be challenged, lest the challenge itself be conflated with racism. But saying White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous.”
“Higher than a century ago — the year of the Tulsa race massacre?” he asked. “Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when the Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn’t stay in the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery? And I mean actual slavery, not ‘Prince doesn’t like his record contract’ slavery.”
“[It’s] self-defeating because progress and hope that we can achieve it is the product we’re selling,” he said. “And having a warped view of reality leads to policies that are warped. Black-only dorms and graduation ceremonies? A growing belief in Whiteness as a malady and White people as irredeemable? Giving up on a colorblind society? Only if you believe we’ve made no progress does that make any sense.”

If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote and more homophobic than when blow jobs were a felony, you have #Progressophobia and you should adjust your mask because its covering your eyes. #BY pic.twitter.com/qFUFwO3eNJ

Progressives think they are being “woke” and more accepting. But in reality, they are practice reverse racism. Segregating black people from white people and telling white people they need to hate themselves for the past is not equality. CRT is divisive, there is no unity in that policy. Anyone can live their dream, regardless of race, if they work hard enough, but progressives don’t want to empower anyone, they want us all to be reliant on big government.
