What My Neighborhood Needs: Fewer Virtue Signaling Lawn Signs - American Thinker
"...It is a telling feature of today’s Democrats that they are unable to empathize with the middle and working classes of their country of all races. 

They are cosseted in tenured university slots, the federal state and local government bureaucracies, other secure professional slots, living in safe neighborhoods and in little danger themselves. 

Moral Cruelty

I could dismiss this as mere virtue signaling by the blind but an article in the Tablet about Judith Shklar provides a more accurate, I think, view of it: It’s moral cruelty.

...We cannot afford such detachment. Everywhere around us, people are acting cruelly in the name of eradicating physical harm and arbitrary power.

...Those who liken the speech constraints and iconoclasts’ acts to the start of China’s Red Guard movement are not far off. 
...Moral cruelty contributes to actual cruelty by uncritically accepting lies that blacks are all and always treated disproportionately in the criminal justice system, by nodding in agreement with the nonsense that there is “systemic injustice” -- that is to say the very rule of law is racist. 
This is moral cruelty. 
So is groveling under the nonsensical “white privilege” rubric in the face of thuggery and cant. 
There is no collective guilt or collective innocence...
