”But he’s always so nice to me and my friends and family, who are exclusively white, he’s never racist around them.”
Damn, that’s totally what she’d say. Excluding the whiteness part. She hasn’t reflected on that.
That’s my mom. She doesn’t really think about stuff like that at all. I still get bullied by my dad whenever I date black people or any POC and I’m well into my 20’s.
At least you know which shirt to give to your dad next Christmas
My dad had an underlying hate towards others when I was little but it mostly sizzled out by the time Obama was president (2008). 2024 it’s a kerosene fire. Oddly when I was younger he went on a rant about Jews, yet now he seems fine with Jewish people and just hates everyone else.
Racism is back with a vengeance and media/news is promoting it.
Your dad is a butthead I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.
Trump supporters in Canada are especially stupid.
I’ve seen Confederate flags flying off the backs of pick up trucks on the west coast of Canada… Amazing how stupid people can be
When you realize it’s about racism and not politics you understand why they are like this and it’s not surprising.
America does supply the best racist symbols after WW2 era Germany
Like the ‘
Thin Blue LineCoward’s Swastika’, it’s really not exclusive to a single country. It just means they have fascist beliefs, are probably racist, and want others to know!don’t tel them Canada doesn’t have a president. Or god save the queen on their toonies.
I think German Trump supporters in Germany take the crown: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/07/world/europe/germany-trump-far-right.html
They even exist in Japan because he was “tough” on china
I’ve met a Belgian Trump supporter. The world just continues to surprise us eh?
There’s no limit to who will fall prey to their particular algorithms and confirm their particular biases. Mix that in with an identity rooted in the bigotry and biases they inherit from their parents.
That and stupidity. People are so fucking stupid.
Japan does have a history of siding with Nazis, after all.
If these people are in your social circle it says more about you than “average” straight people.
Yeah, what kind of amoral filth still has Republican friends?
The only person i know who isnt homophobic, racist and xenophobic is my sister
I cant just not be able to talk to anyone
Where the hell are you (broadly speaking), because I’m in Tennessee (70% Trump 2020) and the only Republicans I have to deal with are family and work related.
Romania
I hadn’t realized it was quite that bad on those issues there, but I suppose you might have to grade on a curve.
I live in rural Georgia and in general I can say almost all of the people around me are pretty conservative, my coworkers even casually say typical Republican shit like how it’s sooo absurd that “white people can’t say the N word but black people can”, or how society has gone to shit with this more than 2 genders nonsense, or how taxes are the reason we’re all poor even though they’re managers being paid slightly above other states’ minimum wage at best (~$15.50/hr) and have to waste an absurd amount of money on healthcare & car stuff, or whatever. Even a lot of the queer people I know, stereotypical with dyed hair and all, say this EXACT same shit.
I think everywhere outside of the major cities in this state are like this, those few civilized blue parts are the only ones keeping this place from collapsing… having days on my own in Savannah have been some of the best times of my life, I’m so used to be confined to this garbage rural suburbia surrounded by red that I truly envy people who live in cities… I’m planning to move to Chicago and hopefully it’s as good as Savannah, in terms of how nice it is to just walk around the city as well as the local establishments & events.
I’ve never lived in a blue county
These people do exist all over the world, some are parents to users in this thread even!
I don’t get the joke.
It’s funny because it’s soooo true!
In fact in MY suburbs, you see it in FIVE out of every FOUR hetero couples! Now waddaya think of that, huh?Lotta key parties in your neck of the woods?
That’s not the look of a bigot, it’s the look of a man who’s fed up with low-rent posturing clickbait. The look of someone who got a Salon article entitled What your household’s toothpaste preferences say about White Fragility™ that he knows will be paygated or cookienoticed after two seconds’ scrolling.
I want you to describe every meme

“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this… this… PDF car?”
I know some fuckers out there definitely would
For some reason I’m reminded of a local house that flies both the Confederate and Pride flags.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags, so I have to wonder if it is one opinion, or many.
Could also be someone flying the flags because they think it’s a funny thing to do, entirely unrelated to the political statement.
Which I guess is a political statement in itself.
I certainly found it funny as fuck, my thought process was “ugh, a bigoted cun-wait???”
gay people can absolutely be bigoted
I used to work with a hispanic gay trump supporter who was also an evangelical Christian.
Just shows you how human beings are complicated, and so are our relationships.

It’s a meme that hits hard

Nah, progressive racism is well meaning misguided white savior sort of shit, like “if we cut welfare all the black people will starve!”
Still, cutting welfare would be bad
I agree. Their intentions are good. Their justification is fucked though.
Yeah but if a progressive doesn’t say that shit, they ironically get called racist by those with bluer hair than their own
I’d rather be called a racist than be a racist
I’d rather I didn’t have to choose
