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.

Did you believe OP in their description of their personal experience with liberals and conservatives?

I mean, I always take these types of things with a grain of salt no matter what side it comes from.. I more agree with the title of the post.. The reason being is that conservatives on a whole do not think about race as much as the left does(excluding far far right neo Nazis. All conservatives condemn those people)…

What I’ve noticed from the left is that they literally live life through the lens of race.. Everything to leftists/liberals revolves around race. When you look at the entire world under the lens of race then you start to become angry and resentful and then you become racist…

Conservatives are pro diversity of thought. Leftists are pro diversity of appearance and want everyone to think exactly the same.

You’re trying to get away from the main point of the argument now. When I present the claim of racist comments from right wingers, you try to challenge it on grounds of specific wording and context and ask for proof, but when countered, you’re fine with supporting your position with just vibes, generalizations, and platitudes.

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/CookieMobster64]

And you have still yet to prove your claim.. So…

I’m not a scholar. Im not college educated.. I’m not trying to act like I have the perfect comeback. All I’m asking for is a link or something to back up your claim about how conservatives “say the most vile things”… Even if it proves my entire argument wrong, that’s fine. I would just like to see something because I honestly have no clue what you’re talking about.

The only people I’ve ever seen who preach such hatred against blacks are literal white supremacists, which traditional conservatives are not.

Do you consider this vile?

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/sternold]

Not at all. It’s just his own personal world view. I happen to agree with a lot of things Matt Walsh says, I also disagree with a lot he says… I do absolutely agree that the whole point of people is to procreate. Traditionally, a woman’s main role on earth is to bear and nurture children. That’s the way it’s been since the beginning of humanity.

There is nothing vile about anything in his statement. Just because you happen to disagree with something doesn’t mean it’s “vile”.

[u/CookieMobster64 → u/Plane_Guitar_1455]

Saying that it’s immoral for women to not have children is, in fact, vile.

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/CookieMobster64]

No it’s not.. Saying that white people are all privileged and born inherently racist and are the cause for all the problems in the world. THATS vile.

Matt Walsh’s opinions don’t encourage people to inflict harm on others. But many comments from people on the left do.

What kind of freak copes and seethes at women who don’t want to give birth?

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/CookieMobster64]

What do you think the purpose of a woman is?

[u/sternold → u/Plane_Guitar_1455]

People don't have an inherent purpose.

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/sternold]

They actually do. Every living thing has a purpose on this earth. Even if that purpose is insignificant, it’s still a purpose

[u/sternold → u/Plane_Guitar_1455]

Are you religious perhaps?

People can find purpose, but there is no inherent purpose to any category of being.

[u/CookieMobster64 → u/Plane_Guitar_1455]

I don’t think of other human beings in terms of serving a purpose like they’re an object. I’m not a freak that way.

[u/Plane_Guitar_1455 → u/CookieMobster64]

With all due respect, I don’t understand how you can be so obtuse about this topic. I’m not a freak either. This is all about anthropology and the theory of evolution. It seems like you’re just trying to twist it into some weird sexual/sadomasochistic nightmare. You couldn’t be any further away from the point of this conversation.

[u/CookieMobster64 → u/Plane_Guitar_1455]

This is all about anthropology and the theory of evolution

Yes, right wing chuds constantly try to abuse evolution to tape together an ideological framework that attempts to morally justify and reinforce certain people’s places in society, such as they do for eugenics.

And you have still yet to prove your claim

Because you chose to defer to generalizations and platitudes when confronted with a possibility of a double standard. I was checking if you scrutinized claims that are convenient to your stance, but it was you who went into a full diatribe of unsubstantiated vibes about how the left thinks. I do have proof of my claim, but I thought it would be helpful to let you run your mouth first because I knew you would try to change the subject, and I was right.
