If there’s one thing the Left loves, it’s deciding who is and isn’t a real member of a historically marginalized group.
You’re a successful black man or bisexual woman? Great, but you had better support what our cult supports ,or you’re a “bad” black or bisexual.
Comedian Dave Chappelle, for example, is out with another Netflix special that both praises and criticizes the transgender community. For this, he is a servant of white supremacy, according to the ultra-“woke” Left.
“Too often in [his new Netflix special],” writes National Public Radio TV critic Eric Deggans, “it just sounds like Chappelle is using white privilege to excuse his own homophobia and transphobia.”
The New York Nets’s Kyrie Irving, meanwhile, remains unvaccinated against the coronavirus, citing personal choice and his opposition to vaccine mandates. For this, he is a pawn of the white man, according to the same people dogging Chappelle.
The NBA star’s refusal to take the vaccine shows he is being “used” as a “black pawn” on “a white chessboard,” writes Deadspin’s Carron J. Phillips.
It’s not that Irving may be a grown man with his own thoughts and personal philosophies. No, because the NBA player breaks with the liberal consensus regarding COVID-19 vaccines, he is clearly allowing himself to be “pimped by the same people they originally wanted to stand against.”
“Irving,” the Deadspin author writes, “the man that has been more than generous with his time and money by donating to the WNBA, his Native American people, to the hungry, and even bought a house for George Floyd’s family … is now being used as a puppet by the same crowd that doesn’t give a damn about his Black life.”
Phillips adds, “This is what happens when you think you’re always the smartest person in the room when you’re actually just a narcissist that surrounds himself with idiots.”
Like Chappelle, he adds, Irving has become a “[puppet] in a real-time minstrel show.”
Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who is bisexual (there’s a reason I mention this, I promise), refuses to rubber-stamp the Biden administration’s $3.5 trillion social spending and climate change bills. For this, she is “bad” for bisexuals everywhere, according to NBC News opinion contributor Lux Alptraum.
“As a bisexual woman — and one who, like Sinema, is white and cisgender — I now cringe every time the senator makes the headlines,” writes Alptraum.
The author adds of the senator that her “political reputation as greedy, unreliable and attention-seeking echoes many of the stereotypes my community has been dealing with for years.”
“[G]iven that she’s arguably the most prominent bisexual woman in the nation,” Alptraum writes, “it feels fair to wish she’d put a little more effort into being a bit less of a stereotype.”
Remember, inclusivity is the most important thing of all, and representation is next to godliness.
But if you’re a member of a historically marginalized group, and you don’t also support whatever line the ultra-progressive crowd has adopted at the moment, then all bets are off. You’re a fraud, a fiend, and a traitor to your own people.
Go drink from that fountain. This one is for the “good” blacks and bisexuals only.
