If a person says something smart, we say they are smart

5. I disagree

I mean that's what we're supposed to do and it is the logical thing, but we have a growing segment here in the US that...

If a person says something clever, they call them an coastal elite intellectual who is out of touch.

If someone speaks truth to power, they call them a radical who shouldn't even try.

If a person challenges a person like this to look at things around them and not just blame uppity minorities, liberals, the UN, feminists, the Muslim conspiracy, Canadians, Mexicans, gays, etc for the problems they have, then the first person will be told "that's your education talking".

But those are the people who do compose your 'racist' point and they are the loudest ones saying you can't call a racist a racist.

We need to start debunking them, aiming at their enablers, if what they say violates a site's TOS on the internet, then report it. This is the rhetoric, this is their bubble.
