Most of the people getting called out and “canceled” for using racial slurs are affluent white liberals.
Ironically, these are the same people calling me and you and President Trump “racist.”
Most of these liberal bigots live in a bubble with their rich pals, where they think of minorities as “nannies” and “gardeners,” or “housekeepers.”

They live such a gilded and charmed life that they’re utterly clueless about how real Americans live. But they latch onto these activists movements like Black Lives Matter because it’s what’s “cool” and will help boost their brand among their snooty uber-liberal peers.
These people couldn’t explain the struggle or reality of an innercity black or Hispanic person if their life depended on it.
Brad Pitt’s 31-year-old girlfriend Alia Shawkat is a perfect example of this.
She’s a tried and true liberal – the type who has her pronouns just right and judges everyone else for how they believe and speak, meanwhile she’s dropping N-words like it’s no big deal.
You can watch the video below:

She apologized – groveled actually – for saying the “N-word,” and we’re all supposed to *ohh and ahh* that she’s so enlightened now and is such a better person for it. Meanwhile, people like you and me never speak that way, but we’re the “racist ones.” Go figure.
Shawkat made her first public appearance since apologizing, and it was kind of fitting that she did so at a posh “celeb” organic market – the type of market where a carton of ice cream costs $15 bucks (right, Nancy Pelosi?)…
Alia Shawkat stepped out on Wednesday to pick up some organic groceries at Erewhon Market in Los Angeles.
The Arrested Development actress, who has been romantically linked to Brad Pitt, had on a quirky outfit that consisted of a yellow blazer over a black top and shorts with yellow socks and Gucci loafers.
This sighting comes just a week after the 31-year-old apologized for using the N-word.
She held an overstuffed bag from Erewhon, a store Megan Fox often shops at. The market only sells organic fare.
And in her other hand was a take out cup with orange juice in it.
The rumored girlfriend of 56-year-old Pitt recently found herself in hot water after a video resurfaced of her using the N-word while quoting Drake lyrics during an interview.
Shawkat has publicly apologized after a video of her using the N word in 2016 resurfaced on Twitter.
The video shows the the star casually throwing the slur around at a panel at South by Southwest, and seems to have flown under the radar until this week, when a Twitter user tweeted the clip at her and warned her to ‘watch herself.’
Look, I don’t besmirch anyone for their success and I am certainly pro-capitalism and all that jazz. But, what I do have an issue with is when privileged elites sit in their gilded cages, pretending that they speak for average Americans or downtrodden people (and judging us) when they haven’t a bloody clue what they’re talking about.
My advice is to them is: stay in your lane, shop for your $35 dollar grapes, and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
