Liberals love to call racism against Republicans and especially today against Donald Trump and Trump supporters.
The irony is that liberals are the real racists.

This is the definition of racist:

a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.


Now thing about liberals today. They are always making a point that nonwhites need 'help' . "Nonwhites need affirmative actions because they otherwise would not be able to compete with whites for jobs"

"Black people need reparations because they are in poverty"

Liberals are constantly selling nonwhites short. They are kept to different standards because they are nonwhite.

"Of course they are living in poverty.... they aren't white (they aren't financially responsible enough)"

"Of course they aren't getting into great schools...they aren't white ("they aren't smart enough" )

"Of course they have children out of wedlock ....they aren't white (they lack self control).

It would be interesting to see what happened if we stopped holding people to different standards based on their race and held high expectations for everyone.

Minorities every single day are taunted by other minorities if they excel in school and get bullied for
"Acting white" .

The reality is this is keeping minorities down more than any KKK member could ever do.

There is very little talk of this in the media today. It's all about 'institutional racism' or how supposed 'white supremacists' are holding people down.

Mindset is crucial and important. The reality is most people are held down by themselves of those that are supposed to be their 'loved ones'.
Self limiting beliefs can destroy you . No matter what your race or background is.

I think the craziest thing I've ever heard was that "whites do not know what it's like to live in poverty". Such a ridiculous thing to say by former Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Love the guy, but wow.

I mean isn't also racist to ascribe negative characteristics on a race of people?

I think he is well meaning. You can tell Bernie has a better heart than Hillary
But he's out of touch in a way. From what I saw of Bernie during the election I could see his appeal ...but I just don't think Socialism is right for America.

Bernie saying that was not a big risk. Because white liberals believe this even if they do live in poverty. It was an appeal to nonwhite voters , but of course he didn't win the nomination even so it's not a great tactic.

Racist are the real racists. There's plenty on both sides of the political spectrum, but only one side builds racism into its platform.

The Democratic Party candidates for nearly a century. They were an integral part of the party for half that century.
