Racism and Misogyny are actual forces in this country. Minority activists don't actually have any political power.
Besides, who are you expecting to do the denouncing and what are they supposed to denounce? Before I started this comment was I supposed to do a quick google search and see if there were any fringe activists saying something to denounce? What's the time scale I have to cover before I can reply to your comment. A week? A month? What if I already denounced it in another thread, do I have to do a recap of everything I've denounced in every thread?
I'm not calling you racist, No one asked you to denounce racism or misogyny, so why are you bringing it up?
> there’s enough people out there denouncing the misappropriation of their identity by politicians to make it clear that they don't represent that group
This is laughably unquantifiable and political forces ensure that even if this was happening you wouldn't know about it.

As Malcolm X explained, minorities are routinely used as a political cudgel in feuds between parties — and the promotion of extremist voices is part of that today. > political forces ensure that even if this was happening you wouldn't know about it …which is why it’s important to occasionally share those thoughts in your personal life, to help unwind that narrative for people around you.
- Banana699 4y ago>Racism and Misogyny are actual forces in this country As everybody knows off course, only the things you hate are actual and real, and you're being noble and virtuous by talking about them. While the things your opponents hate are disinformation and a mirage, and they're being hysteric and alarmist by talking about them.
- mikkergp 4y agoThis is the kind of thinking that got us into this mess.
- Banana699 4y agoAnd you're engaging in it by downplaying and denying the very real power that that transgender ideology holds in US institutions and corporations.
- mikkergp 4y agoHow so?

- mikkergp 4y agoNo I mean, what 'very real power that that transgender ideology holds in US institutions and corporations'. All the political action is bathroom bills and sports bills coming from the right, what political power is the 'transgender ideology' wielding.
