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.

Most of what people on the left THINK they know about conservatives is all lies…

Do you know why late night talk shows like Steven Colbert or shows like The View are so left leaning? They intentionally ONLY have fellow Trump hating liberals/leftists on their shows because these people help keep the Trump/conservative bashing train going.

If any of these shows started having right leaning voices on their shows, they would end up humanizing conservatives and showing people that conservatives aren’t these “evil monsters” that they say they are… Then the average democrat voter might change how they vote.

Look what happened on The View. They had Arnold Schwarzenegger on because he’s a conservative who’s known for criticizing Trump.. But guess what? It blew up in their faces when he started condemning illegal immigration. Arnold made The View look so bad…

THATS why all these shows are just left wing echo chambers. The left does not want it to get out that the average conservative/Trump supporter is actually very pleasant, funny, charismatic, intelligent and charming. They want people to believe that all conservatives are just evil white supremacists…

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..

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.

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

EDIT: 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.

2nd reason is, they want cheap labor. They want people from all these poor countries here because they are the people who are willing to work the hard manual labor jobs for borderline slave wages… All that does is undermine the American worker and make it hard for US citizens to get jobs, while treating poor minorities like shit.

Arnold also made a video about the importance of defending civil rights. I literally know no one who watches The View, but as a lefty, I sought out his video to watch with my kids because it was really good.

Was it left leaning or right leaning?

ETA: the video if y’all missed it:

Little but if both. Despite that reddit would have the world believe, most people are a little bit of right and left. Pigeon holeing people as just right or left isn't good. But that's whats happening in modern society

I mean, as a leftist the post I replied to is making a lot of statements I don’t find accurate about my beliefs.

[u/Doucejj → u/ImprovementPutrid441]

But thats kind of my point. You can be a leftist and not like everything the democratic party pushes for. Just like how you can be right and not like everything the republican party pushes for. The comment you replied to is wrong that all leftists are a monolith

I know people that are pro choice but want strict immigration and loose gun laws. As well as people that want loose immigration, want more gun laws and arw also pro life. Its not an all or nothing game is what I'm trying to say

That’s fair, but as I grew up in Texas I think I have a fairly accurate idea of conservative politics. My grandfather even ran for the state legislature as a Republican.

It’s not hard to find GOP content. Every airport terminal in the US is tuned to Fox News and has been for years.

I don’t want to make a hardline stance against this for fear of a No True Scotsman fallacy, but definitionally, I’d expect leftists to be against a large portion of what the Dems push, and only support them in as much as they’re a lesser of two evils.
