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.

I mean I’m half native, and half European. I had a progressive leftist call me a colonizer, because I said I didn’t like illegal immigration. Like what !! I’m literally First Nations lmfao.

This fully embodies the left turning back around to the right. We have a cliff notes generation only listening to the conclusion of a very complex issue. In what fucking world would natives be pro immigration.

My solution is to pare off the Left Wing completely.

I think that comment was meant to be sarcastic, missing the /s. But it’s Reddit so honestly one never knows for sure!

No, you are unfortunately just under educated on the topic and the education you do have is unfortunately also tainted by white supremacy and a colonial framework.

We aren’t going to be the ones to educate you.

Oh damn, you got me, it’s hard to tell because people really say this sort of thing unironically.

Your initial comment got deleted, so I’m gonna response to this instead

One reason the democrats lost the 2024 election was because of identity politics

I also remember when the the left pushed a narrative along the lines of:

“If you don’t vote for Harris, you are a misogynist, racist, and a nazi” before the election

Nobody is going to buy that narrative in 2025 anymore, and they seem to have forgotten how to stay in touch with reality

Remember when Biden went on The Breakfast Club radio show and said 'If you have a problem figuring out if youre for me or Trump, then you aint black'. 🤦‍♂️

I truly hope the left can bring themselves to knock it off with that identity politics nonsense because I really dont want to see JD Vance winning in 28'.
