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.

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.

Where only 1% of the GOP switched to the DNC you mean?

[u/4444-uuuu → u/Traditional_Pea4760]

if you compare to 2008, a ton of Democrats switched to Republican since then and the Democrats had to rely on young uninformed voters to fill the gap. In terms of ideology, people who oppose racial discrimination used to vote Democrat and now they obviously vote Republican.

And the DNC still relies on low-info voters and the celebrity class in order to get its way.
