Showing Original Post only (View all)Is "Stockholm Syndrome" the white liberal version of "the Democratic plantation"? [View all]
They seem equivalent to me. Both are rooted in deeply racist notions that black people don't know what is best for them (yet whites do), and both are deeply offensive to all decent people, but especially to the actual descendants of black slaves - who were the disposable property of their white owners, legally, economically, and physically.
Fuck that vile racist bullshit, whether it comes from the Right or the Left.
