It's hardwired into the American psyche at this point (look at the founding fathers, who look just like them...). The white men who are "woke" are gonna have a hard time. <br /><br />Foundational change is possible, but it's going to take a profound economic upheaval - like the coming wave of automation - for things to really change on a fundamental level. But the last gasps of the white male are going to be seismic. I think the wave that took Trump into office is evident of one of these lasts gasps. <br /><br />On topic, Maher is pretty good at outlining issues with the while men (R)'s, but he has a notable track record of misogyny and being dismissive towards minority issues. Hard for me to take him seriously sometimes.<br />http://www.salon.com/2015/04/18/7_times_bill_maher_was_a_straight_up_bigot/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-54704585587663802472017-02-19T05:15:18.443-09:002017-02-19T05:15:18.443-09:00If only, laurensd1 -- He was covered -- by all the...If only, laurensd1 -- He was covered -- by all the media, here and abroad.

I hate you especially," he told interviewer Chuck Todd from an international security conference in Munich. "But the fact is we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It's vital."<br /><br />"If you want to preserve - I'm very serious now - if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started," he continued.<br /><br />"They get started by suppressing free press. In other words, a consolidation of power. When you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press. And I'm not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator. I'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history," McCain said."<br /><br />https://www.yahoo.com/news/mccain-says-suppressing-free-press-dictators-started-084217226.htmlmlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-43615225162033451842017-02-18T23:59:11.477-09:002017-02-18T23:59:11.477-09:00She had to *read* the prayer?
