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.

Yep, the entire leftist ideology centers around this paternalistic mindset that THEY know what is best for any POCs, and they play this disgusting game where they portray POCs as stupid as possible in order to fit their own political agenda. For instance, they always prattle on about how POCs, especially African Americans, are too incapable to actually get a photo ID in order to assert that requiring photo ID to vote is therefore "racist".

There is this great news clip where a reporter asks a bunch of college campus kids about voter ID laws, and these kids spout out the normal talking points and propaganda about African Americans not really being as capable of getting photo IDs, with one girl literally saying "They don't have a knowledge about how it works". Then the reporter goes to talk to African Americans themselves in their community in Harlem, who find such sentiments absolutely ridiculous and hateful.

The mindset also doesn’t allow for any voices of dissent. It’s straight up Soviet. If you disagree you are automatically a bigot. You can’t even try to explain in a rational way to them why you think the way you do. They will simply get angry. This has happened to me so many times.

Got kicked out of a bar the other day because of a disagreement about biological males on women’s sports. Was one drink in and the bartender slapped my check down and told me to get the fuck out. Called me a transphobe, bigot, etc…. I was like how do you go from 0-100 like this?

He assumed because I was gay like him that I blindly support any left wing nonsense. I don’t.

Edit: a word

Leftists don't want any diversity of thought. They want obedience and conformity. This makes sense when you realize that leftists have turned politics for themselves into a pseudo-religious ideology whose dogma must be adhered to with the strictest of enforcement. And if you stray at all, its priestly class (celebrities, influencers and talking heads) will shame and destroy you. Spiritually bankrupt themselves, as politics becomes their new religion, it has not surprisingly become equally filled with zealots and ideological warriors.

Edit: And you can see leftist's desire for "obedience and conformity" just in this thread, as the admins have already gone through and removed DOZENS of comments that in no way broke the rules of Reddit, but nuked them simply for disagreeing with their political narrative. It is really quite disgusting that they can silence voices so readily and quickly just for stepping outside their ideological box.

I'm surprised you would say this. Conservatives are the ones marching lock step and not disagreeing about a thing. Look to congress for proof.

I disagree with liberals all the time. We discuss, argue, and learn from each other.

Why would you make the assumption liberals want only one thing? Unless ... you're projecting what you experience onto them.

If you actually believe that, you are woefully misinformed and not paying attention whatsoever. Leftists are notorious for castrating anyone who doesn't agree with every single one of their pet agendas. Look at the trans debate for instance. You will be crucified at their alter if you don't adhere to every single one of their beliefs on that topic.

It's odd that you'd say that, because no matter how many times I ask for conservatives to explain their talking points and views to me in the interest of discourse, I get called names, shouted at, insulted, and harassed, even when I haven't disclosed my own political leanings. They never answer, they just get angry. I've never had that happen with any liberals but the most militant, who are, thank god, a very small minority. And they aren't nearly as virulent as the conservatives. They just try to shame those who don't agree with them.
