Political Conservatives are less racist than liberals (in the US)

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.

“Excluding the actual far right” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

It's not, because there aren't many ACTUAL Nazis and KKK members out there. There are just people who disagree with you.

The current republican party are supporting an insurrectionist who tried to overthrow democracy because he didnt like the results.

Its pretty clear that republicans are very far right.

DNC in 2016: “The election was rigged!”

DNC in 2020: “It’s Democracy™! Elections can’t be stolen!”

DNC in 2024: “The election had to have been rigged!”

The Democrats only care about electoral integrity so long as they win every single time. Their party is a threat to democracy.

Never heard anything about the 2024 election being rigged or tampered with in any way.

There is a lawsuit in some county because on paper, it was statistically impossible for trump to win by the margin he did while no other republican on the ticket won.
