The few racists that actually exist would be lost in obscurity if it wasn't for liberals. But liberalism cannot exist without racism so they need to push the false narrative that racism is everywhere and everything is racist.

Wrong, and wrong.
There are a great many people who harbor racial prejudice, and too many of them who act on it.
While fighting racism is one aspect of liberalism, so is improving the lives of those who have been left out. And that includes not just victims of prejudice, but also those who are disadvantaged economically, or due to disability, etc. Like the forty hour work week, with a minimum wage, and overtime pay? Thank a liberal. Like social security to survive on when disability or age leaves you with no other option? Thank a liberal. Like medicaid or the Affordable Care Act when sick or hurt, and have no other way to pay? Thank a liberal. Like free education between kindergarten and 12th grade? Thank a liberal. Like loans and grants that allow those of us not wealthy to have a higher education? Again, thank a liberal. I could go on and on.

If you confront a racist you're giving them more attention then they deserve. Some of them get off on having these "debates" in which they try to justify their racism. Instead of rewarding the racist, just stop talking to the racist.


^^ This!

I'm from Georgia and I'm used to hearing white people make racist jokes and insults about the black people and Hispanics who live there.

I learned from experience that you really get nowhere with these people trying to explain to them why you find it offensive because then they get defensive as if they weren't doing anything wrong. So I've learned to just be quiet and distance myself from people like that.

Oh and I find it very ironic when I hear people say "Race isn't an issue anymore" and then they complain for hours about how all black people are evil criminals.

Does anybody else besides me feel like that line is always used as an excuse to be racist? :roll:

Should I thank a liberal when social security goes bankrupt in 15 years? :roll: i sure am not counting on using it when I turn 70 or whatever 65 will be raised to in 25-30 years. I feel like I'm getting robbed from my paycheck every week.

Do you people realize that there is an actual difference between liberals and Democrats? Just like there is a difference between conservatives and Republicans?

It's the Democrats you guys really hate but Trump has convinced you all that it's the liberals because he is a stupid moron and he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time.

I've heard that a few times and wondered about it. I'm not a politics expert. I never took a college political science class. Where else would you learn about that if there was no internet? I'll Google this now.

So basically Trump and his sheep brained supporters hate the very kind of people who fought the British during the Revolutionary War so that we could become our own free country. Without people like liberals that war would have never happened and we wouldn't be the country that we are today.

Why don't you think about that instead of hating all liberals just because Trump says they are all evil and you have to hate them? :roll:
