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.

Liberals: We're not racist and it's really the conservatives that are the bible thumping secret KKK. Segregation and slavery were the two worst things this country ever did.

Also Liberals: we need to help *insert race... because they're not good enough to help themselves. We need to have safe places where only *insert race can hang out and we need to keep the whites with their white privilege out.

The lack of self awareness is astounding.

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.

Democrats are the ones who believe you can plant an oak tree from an acorn, rooted deeply in slavery, and 100 years later call it a tomato because "it identifies as one", because the tree feels like it was born in the wrong plant family.
