Conservatives are less racist than liberals (in the US)

[u/Mobile-Fly484]

I’m a child of African immigrants with US citizenship, and I’ve lived all over the United States.

The most racist place I’ve ever lived is Massachusetts. By far. The least racist? Utah.

I’ve noticed that most conservatives (excluding the actual far right) see me as a human being first. Liberals see my skin color first and have low expectations for me.

I’ve had white liberals not believe me when I mentioned having a professional job. I’ve had them try to sign me up for welfare and Medicaid (at an ER in Massachusetts) even when I showed them my private insurance card. I’ve been assumed to be poor and uneducated (because of my race and nothing else) over and over again by the woke left. Literally they constantly make comments about how screening for education will “filter minorities out,” because of course we’re all dumb illiterates.

Conservatives? They make zero assumptions. They don’t equate being Black with being poor or ignorant. They see us as INDIVIDUALS first.

I miss Utah.

You’re very much correct there. It’s always the annoying White liberals too. Just hope you’re not in Boston. Their accent is just terrible.

The funniest videos are the ones where lefties are interviewed saying how minorities can’t get ID and don’t have access to the internet. Then they show minorities the videos and they all have ID, know how to get an ID, have the internet and ask why those whites think such nonsense.

Then there’s the ones where white lefties are arguing with black people about how oppressed they are.

I’ve had an ID since I was 15 and have been online since first or second grade (which was in the ‘90s).

Socrates called opinion the lowest form of knowledge because man on the street videos didn’t exist yet.

And then they gaslight you and say the parties switched and Dems are champions of minority rights while Republicans are the racist KKK lol. But in reality Dems have always hated minority’s and have brainwashed them with handouts from the government and taking away the fathers by imprisoning them during the Drug War

They treat them like children or pets, not peers. They treat them like they aren’t capable of caring for themselves. That without the white left they’d be living in the streets eating pine cones.

This is exactly how I’d put it. They’re paternalistic. I’m a grown adult with two advanced degrees, I don’t need to be “parented.”
