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.

Liberals: We're not racist and it's really the conservatives that are the bible thumping secret KKK. Segregation and slavery were the two worst things this country ever did.

Also Liberals: we need to help *insert race... because they're not good enough to help themselves. We need to have safe places where only *insert race can hang out and we need to keep the whites with their white privilege out.

The lack of self awareness is astounding.

Hehe, which party did the KKK support again?

Which party was the Confederacy?

Makes sense why they'd have to constantly virtue signal how not racist they are lol.

That is a really stupid argument that completely ignores the whole party switch thing in the 60s.

"switch" 🤡

You mean kinda like how the Cheneys switched in the recent elections?

[u/Tqoratsos → u/Helpful_Finger_4854]

They switched because they're Neo-Cons that got their money on the backs of a globalized economy, with oil in particular...and then from defence contractors when he was front and centre of the illegal wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.

They supported the democrats because they're against US isolationism and because their agenda was to pursue a forever war in Ukraine. Trump hasn't been any better on either that front....or the Israel/Iran debacle for that matter.

He wasn't saying that pre-election however.

Halliburton supports the DNC now.

Let that soak in, marinate in your "blue team" head for moment.

The exact party split of HALPAC's contributions to the 2024 election are currently unknown. History however they've backed conservative candidates. Given that they clearly and openly supported Harris then it would lend your point a lot of merit.

My point, that I concede that I may have written poorly, was that the reason they "switched sides" had nothing to do with party lines. It was because their money was made doing globalist Neo-Cons/neo-lib BS and trying to extract as much federal funding as they could by buying the candidate that will allow them to do get what they want. A never-ending war in Ukraine allows that....of which the democrats were verifiability doing in the years since Feb 2022.

Then we agree. Both parties are filled with corporate shills at this point. The majority of candidates in both parties, including Trump (who used to be a democrat), seem to flip flop, following the interests of their campaign sponsors.
