We had some really great conversations yesterday with some people

That's great!

Good morning

Good morning SPESHEL!

Hey

Morning! New here!

Welcome @MoneyGator

Wanted to get your guys opinion for those that will see this. My friend works for Apple and he’s a conservative guy. When he first got hired he was shown basically the same video that’s in the photo when he was first hired. He posted this in a group chat asking if all this was necessary. About 90 percent of the chat said yes I was the only one to say no. I said I do believe there are still racists and people who use racist terminology but I think it’s blown out of proportion. What are your all’s opinion? Do you feel like racial injustice is a thing?

I believe its becomming a thing. And not because one race is crapped on by others. Its becomming a thing through affirmative action and social justice.

Apparently a bunch of protesters are going to disrupt Fourth of July

@𝕻𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊𝖘𝖘🐞𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖎𝖗 a false premise based on a false narrative propagated by the news

Only racial injustice is against whites.

@PoopaChallupa yes but remember you cannot be racist towards white people and black people cannot be racist

LOL

So, I agree the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. I prefer using statistics to look into this. Crime statistics vs. Police Shootings, Affirmative Action. Even looking into Obama's election. A president that did very little was elected twice, but the same people that elected him turned around and voted Trump, but because of that they are racist. It has really turned into a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" situation. As Ben Shapiro has said, I hate racism. But simply calling out racism isn't enough. Show me where the racist is and I will fight against actual racism. Not this "Systemic Racism" that people love to spout.

So convenient

It all started with Micheal brown

Hands up don't shoot then I can't breathe

Racism is a convienent card to play till its turned against you

Which I would recommend watching Don't Walk, Run's analysis of the Michael Brown situation. He breaks it down to a point that it becomes pretty clear that the media made Michael Brown into a huge situation, when it wasn't.

The reason why I like the right is that it is colorblind. The right does not care about your identity, or your gender, race, or sexuality. The right values you for who you are as an individual and what you have accomplished.

The left on the other hand, treats you as a part of a collective based off of your identity. The left does not care about who you are as a person, they only care about if your identity will fit their agenda.

Minorities are just a usefull tool that is quickly thrown away by the left after they stoke up an emotional message

"Useful Idiots" - Joseph Stalin

In essence your practically slaved away for emotional value and thrown away quickly when your not needed anymore

Like just identity politics fucking sucks

Mhm

A person is an individual who thinks for themselves. Not a part of some collective group based off of their appearance

And no on the left actually wants to talk about a severely fucked group of people because of where they live and the current system that exists. The people livin in the Appalachian mountain range, the poorest place in the states practically

I appreciate all the responses. I felt like a loner in my text chat lol

I live in the Appalachian Mountains region 😳

Traditionalism is what drove me towards the Republican party

For me it was economic freedoms and individualism

I mean, the left can accuse us of identity politics but I wouldn't care

Way more diversity on the right imo

Diversity of thought

NPCs that group think on the left

If you have people that look different but think the same, you don't have diversity

Just like people on the left that say that you have to agree with homosexuality or else you're not part of the group

On the right there is no identity politics when it comes to homosexuality
