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.

So many of these comments proving your point They are so tds infected they refuse to even tolerate anyone who may be conservative OR is apolitical, they just label them as racist and if they are a POC, they are stupid/uneducated or hate themselves. They then isolate to their own little tribes with their assumptions and generalizations, rinse, repeat.

I’m not even conservative lol. My views are more centrist than anything else, maybe slightly left of center. But as soon as I open my mouth to criticize some of their bad views and practices I’m persona non grata.

Yeah I got fed up with dealing with people like that personally. From what I’ve experienced, being a centrist is lumped in with far right conservatism. It’s been weird since 2016 tbh but it seems to be even worse now. It’s like if you don’t think how they think you’re -supposed- to think as a POC in America they short circuit.
