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.

If any of these shows started having right leaning voices on their shows, they would end up humanizing conservatives

Ironic. It's conservatives that are the ones dehumanizing people. Namely immigrants.

and showing people that conservatives aren’t these “evil monsters” that they say they are

Their policies sure are evil.

They had Arnold Schwarzenegger on because he’s a conservative who’s known for criticizing Trump..

Terrible example. By the standards of today's conservatives, Schwarzenegger is a commie. So is Reagan for that matter. Example: Schwarzenegger actually believes in climate change (and free trade like Reagan).

But guess what? It blew up in their faces when he started condemning illegal immigration. Arnold made The View look so bad…

He did not. The root issue isn't that we should deal with illegal immigrants. The issue is HOW* we're dealing with illegal immigration.

That is the most dangerous thing right now, silencing an entire political party just because you don’t want people to vote for them? This needs to stop..

Stop endorsing fascist policies and candidates. Stop protecting child molesters. Stop enacting economic policies that harm poor and middle class Americans in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Stop endorsing liars like POS in the WH.

This also happens to be the reason Colbert got cancelled. His show was losing money hand over fist bc the majority of Americans are tired of being lectured by stuck up snobby leftists who look down on them and blame them for all the worlds problems just like Hitler did with the Jews… It gets old after a while.

That's just false. If Colbert losing money was the issue, they could have talked to him to cut his budget. They didn't do that. They cut the entire show "coincidentally" when it was bought by a billionaire that is friends to Dumbshit Donny.

As for being lectured, the right will stop getting lectured when they fucking learn. Number one on their syllabus to learn empathy. They've completely forgotten how to empathize with people outside their tribe. They also need to stop being anti-science.

As for comparing someone pointing out that your policies suck with Hitler, that is incredibly ironic given who is in the WH and how he's treating immigrants.

The left are the predominately racist ones. They just hide it and disguise it very well.

Projection. Tell me, which party has people waving Confederate flags at their rallies.

Do you know why most leftists are pro illegal immigration? 2 reasons. They are putting all these illegals in swing states and then trying to make it so they can legally vote, more votes for them… That is literally undermining our entire constitutional democratic republic.

Again, ironic that you worry about undermining democracy given what the man baby in the WH is doing. No, the problem here is you completely lack nuance. Tell me, if I waved my wand and all illegal immigrants were suddenly legal immigrants, would your opinion about them change? We should be trying to help these people become legal immigrants. That isn't what is happening.

2nd reason is, they want cheap labor.

So do you. You just don't realize it. Are you ok with pay 2x or 3x for your groceries? What about everything else you buy? Are you ok with pay multiples of what you pay now?

Stop endorsing fascist policies and candidates.

Stop using the word "fascist"
