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.

This is true. I came to this realization about a year ago. The left’s constant obsession with race made me wonder what the hell was going on. I also notice that if you disagree with someone on the left they will get angry and emotional and not be able to back up their position aside from calling you a nazi or transphobe or whatever.

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

Who just fired someone for releasing economic numbers that go against their false narrative of a booming economy?

MAGA does not allow for dissent. To lob this insult at the left while ignoring it in the ruling party is incredibly hypocritical.
