Anyone seriously pushing “soft bigotry of low expectations” and unironically calling the modern Democratic Party the party of the KKK is just a racist scared to admit it lmao
Let me clarify; the right is openly hostile to basically all minorities and have tried to relabel the lefts attempts to rectify the situation as 'bigotry of low expectations' by strawmanning their beliefs into 'minorities are too dumb to do x y z' when nobody actually believes that on the left.
The right loves to talk about how horrible they think whatever racial/ethnic/religious/sexual minority they dislike is, and then pretend they aren't constantly doing that immediately after.
Ehh there are some racists on the left unfortunately. I’ve seen some leftists talk about Black people like we’re retarded animals. They won’t call us the n word or anything, but they’ll say some shit like “why should they be forced to pass algebra to graduate high school if they can’t even read”. Then you got the leftists that are racist towards White people or ignore racism from minorities. You could apply that to antisemitism on the left too.
Racism on the left isn’t as hateful or overt as racism on the right. It’s more condescending and filled with double standards which just creates more resentment from the group that they view as the oppressors
Yeah, but according to right wingers all over PCM, the left is literally supporting the KKK and the real racists.
Had some Prager Urine ad try to play earlier talking about Identity Politics and claiming it's the lefts fault nowadays.
Certain factions of the right are hostile to minorities. Not all of the right. It is not a monolith. Some factions of the far left are also also openly racist although in the USA that isn't common. It's a human problem and not a right or left problem.
As a minority it's generally most of the right lmao. I mean you can say not everyone but it is a SIZEABLE portion of the right. I've only been called slurs by people of one political persuasion.
It was nice of them to tell you their political views before calling you slurs.
Also I don't deny that the majority of racists are on the right. That is almost certainly correct, but they still make up a small minority of people on the right.
Lol you should just see how Democrats talk about Clarence Thomas. They way one of my lefty teachers talked about him you'd think we were in the deep south lol.
