    That’s just an asshole. Conservatives are usually polite, kind, warm and emphatic.

      Empathetic? Lmao wtf. Modern conservatism may as well be defined by it’s complete lack of empathy for any and all marginalized groups.

        Or black. I always think of the ‘southerners are more friendly!’ thing in light of ‘better get the fuck out of town by sunset, n*****’.

          Well this seems like a biiit of a stretch, considering the states with the highest black populations are in the south. Sundown towns are a myth anyways outside of 30+ years ago and a black person would probably be better off in a small town in the south than they would in a small town in Indiana or Idaho.

              Not sure what your first sentence has to do with anything? Yeah no shit that’s why the south has a lot of black people.I never implied they happily chose to be there You put words Into my mouth with your entire comment and got up voted for it, that’s fucking wild but not surprising. Clearly everyone missed the entire point of my comment. I live in Montgomery Alabama and worked at the Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Museum when it first opened. I do have an insight that most people are not privy to and everyone likes to assume you’re a racist if you go against the narrative of posts like this. Bonkers

            so what? That has nothing to do with rural racism.

            Sundown towns are a myth anyways outside of 30+ years ago

            and so, 30+ years ago…

            Anyway, I visited my family in Houston and people casually referred to an area 2-3 blocks away across the railroad tracks as 'n*****rtown*. Thanks for your input though.

        One of my good friends is trans in a deep red part of a red state. Thankfully they pass (better than they think) because I fear for their life if people knew the truth about them. Really sad what our country has devolved into

      Yeah, I just love how kind polite and “emphatic” people like Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Glenn Beck are.

        Let’s give them credit: they’re bigger assholes if you aren’t white, but they’re still assholes even if you are.

        Hey they don’t hate only non-whites. They also hate LGBT+ folks, cOmMuNiStS (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), and generally anything they don’t understand which is a lot

      That’s funny, last time I talked to my mom, she called me a brainwashed communist and said Biden was the antichrist, and last time I was on the ship, the self-professed conservatives were walking by me saying “ching chong” and calling me a “chinaman” and “Chinese spy”. Sure didn’t feel polite, kind, warm or empathetic.
