    Nope, you can find examples of this shit all over the place This material is sold to businesses across the country.

    A significant portion of progressives are absolutely, intentionally or not, are incredibly racist. The fact that “reverse racism isn’t real” is a thing should be a strong indicator imo.

      Can you point me to a few of these examples? So far I’ve only heard anecdotes

        I told my story and look at the response. I’m not going on to my work laptop collecting screenshots. We just had a SCOTUS case on racist admissions.

          I assumed I’d get a response along the lines of “do your own research” this might have been even better. Don’t bother defending your take, just lash out bc nobody has to actually make sense nowadays–just be loud and obnoxious like the bad orange man

          I’ll just “trust you, bro” lol

      You are getting downvoted, but I have seen a bit of this myself and I understand why people would really start to resent this kind of thing. I grew up dirt poor, but I get a lot of messaging about how I should “check my privilege” from people much further up the economic ladder than I am now and certainly where I came from. I used to shrug off this ignorance based on racism, but it’s become more prevalent and definitely more strident. I’m to shut up entirely and listen to others merely and only because of demographics? No, I’m not having it. That’s about as bigoted as it gets.

      I don’t think the answer is to vote for a terrorist like donnie or demons like any Republican politician. I really don’t know what the answer is. I just don’t think that some of the people pushing extremely racist things while supposedly under the banner of equity even have any clue just how many Republicans they are probably creating. When you go around preaching at people, and telling them they are the source of so many problems and they need to just listen at all times to a certain set of self-selected demographics, or else be accused of all kinds of things, people really don’t take it all that well.

        Shocking the same policies fucking over various minorities also make life shitty for poor white people. The republicans being created are the ones that bought into the whole as long as we have an underclass for the poor whites to look down on they’ll never look up at who is actually fucking them over because they’ll at least be better off than those other ultra poors.
