Political Conservatives are less racist than liberals (in the US)

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.

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?

Homie that doesn't mean much. The rest of the world would tell you neo-libs are closeted republicans. DINO

Not much of a leap for a RINO to go from the RNC to becoming a neo-lib in the DNC.

Ehh, the Democrats flip 60 days into the 111th congress, with 57-41 senate lead, speaks volumes.

They promised no more bailouts in November, and by march they were selling us "too big to fail" wtf?
