unpopular opinions:
I believe everyone is racist. Everyone is in favor of who they perceive as "their own tribe", and is indifferent or dis-inclined to the others.
I believe this is the natural state of Humankind, and that the classical Liberal idea that "there should be zero racism and society is a failure if you see racism" is an unrealistic standard.


I recommend people adopt and practice the "older" standard of Tolerance. I give your freedom and opportunity to compete (equality of opportunity) but not government enforced social leveling (equality of outcome).


as long as it doesnt hurt me, I dont care about you. I dont love you, and you dont love me. But we can co-operate and get-along just fine. That is the very foundation layer of society. Otherwise we are back to walls around cities and sticking spears+arrows into strangers, like this was 5th Century A.D. ancient Gaul.

Definitely a chunk of racists here. Probably not a majority. Just look at how many people are still supporting 45

Time for the CD poll. I bet we are smarter than most of the public.
This is two different questions mascoma. The two can certainly coexist. The US has a race problem but it is not a racist society.

That’s just as crazy as saying people who plan to vote for Biden side with criminals and street thugs and want to abolish all laws so they can do as they please - more CHOP zones, if you will.

Twice.
Obama is half white and was raised by a white family.

There are compared to comparably poor blacks.

Biden looks down at black people by his own words.. he said he learned about roaches from black people.. hello.. roaches can get into anyones home...bring them in with something that is infested and bingo. You have a roach infestation. Slum landlords don't care about your roach problem either.



Biden also said that Obama was ''CLEAN" . ARTICULATE.. hidden meaning ,Biden thinks most black people are dirty and can't speak good english.. Biden is a white elitist..

Bingo! We all have prejudices. Racist...not as many, and a lot less in the USA than elsewhere, and we continue to improve (the BLM riots are pushing us backwards though).

Or are old men who like to touch little girls and stroke/sniff their hair.
