I often hear a lot about conservatives being racist, but liberals tend to go under the radar. Anybody that has lived in Austin can attest to the patronizing self righteous "But I just wanna help minorities and stuff ya know" bullsh1t speak. What is your experience with the two?
I find self righteous racism to be better than regular racism.... The former may gentrify your neighborhood and open a $12 per taco place but the latter will use legislation to make you sub human.
When i argue that blacks need to take some responsibility for our situation as far as poor broken homes i get a lot of push back. My only argument is that regardless of history it has to ultimately happen in order to progress. Even if we are totally victims of the past the problems are left with us to deal with Sometimes i wonder do some liberals find it impossible for blacks to help ourselves, if so thats racism
"Liberal" racism comes in a variety of flavors.. There are also minorities on the "left" who display open hatred and racism toward white people.
Liberal racism is mostly toward white people Conservative racism is mostly toward anyone but white people
No liberal ever tried to beat me up or racially slurred me or called my brother a wetback or threatened to kill my dad or had to see my mom first to see if she was white enough to enroll in school. My experience with the liberals was always to help a young kid being raised by a single mom. It was the conservative families that always looked down on us, called us names, made fun of me in elementary school for not speaking English well. Yeah, they could not be much different in my experience.
liberal and leftists aren't really the same group, although they're parts of the same party currently. Ask them whether they think all black dormitories are a good thing, a liberal is going to give you a different answer to a leftist, there's a whole list of things where they differ. People will be racist, they'll also be murderers, rapists, thieves, and any number of bad things, because well people. But the ideology of that group on the left, is the only mainstream ideology that seems to genuinely believe that some racial groups are inherently better or worse than others.
The term "racist" is the most overused word in the English language by the left. They use it to foster the politics of division. They also used it to describe anyone who had differing opinions than Obama. Ridiculously they also assign the word to Trump and his supporters for wanting to secure the border. They have used and abused the term so much it is hard to take anyone saying it seriously these days.
I'd be curious to hear peoples' thoughts on this issue in NYC. "Let us buy fur, NYC: The City Council is on the cusp of banning one set of animal products that happen to be valued by many in the black community": https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion...0190515-lfsfvsa6sfgn5pxtj57ed7kjom-story.html
You assumed that seeing the liberal side being introspective and having some sense of self-awareness, that the same would happen for our conservative posters. You threw them a bone and trust me, they will admit to nothing. You think posters like @cml750 will admit to any racist tendencies from the right wing? They have no ability to self-reflect.
Your ability to stereotype and condemn is inspiring. It is trite, but I believe individuals can be racist but to imply(or state?) that all conservatives are is simply close mindedness of a different sort.
This is such BS I don’t even know where to start. Racism that has consistently been a point of emphasis of the left has been due to systemic use of the power of governing to CREATE hardships for people of color and those who do not pray to the same god as the majority for the sole purpose of power. If you think calling out this racism is such a problem I feel sorry for you... I really do. You have no idea or concept of reality. You see nothing beyond your culture war. I will keep calling it out and no whataboutism games from people like you will get people like me to stop calling it out just because this inherent racism is a point of emphasis to recreate this culture of the past you think you and your ancestors had that you want to restore through authoritarian governing. Stop trying to bully people into thinking twice in calling out the tactics of your political aligned grouping.
What great timing for you cml. Hell, this article doesn't even include the whole Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers bit. It will require you to read more than a paragraph though. I'll try to find all of this in a cartoon format which I know you guys find preferable.
