the vast majority of people are not anti-social enough to hold the kind of malicious racism that you're describing here, and i can't see this belief you have of vast swathes of white america being essentially literal nazis, extermination plans and all, as anything but a fever dream.

My dad's side of the family (minus my dad) are very stereotypical Southern conservatives, and their racism is more the sort of thing where they interpret certain things in a racist manner but don't really go out of their way to think about and express it. Like, if they see a black guy with sagging jeans they'll interpret it in a racist way, but if there's nothing specifically bothering/annoying them about a person it doesn't come up.

To be clear, this is still racist as gently caress. But I think the key difference is that folks like this don't really prioritize racism over other issues. They'll view issues involving other races through a racist lens, but it's not something they really think about otherwise. I think that people often get a distorted perception due to just seeing the internet comments and what have you of the sort of racists who feel the need to go out and express their racism.

I'm assuming that this is over all experience levels - Still, something smells fishy with that stat. Median household income is something like 55k, and 30% of the population over 25 have a BS//BA or higher

i looked it up, its closer to 60k

he might be going by household income where a college degree is present and not individual income

unless hes specifically referring to osoff neighborhoods, in which case, idk, maybe that number is accurate

It's sort of weird how progressives encourage each other to view racists as "they all think you're subhuman, they all have torture dungeons, and they'd all lynch you without a second thought". Is that the "culture of victimhood" thing

Yeah not only did he make that poo poo up, he plainly didn't know that the person they were having a funeral over was a black lady assassinated in her car.

Honestly, 'gently caress the police' is really childish to do in this situation: having more minority officers is kinda necessary if you want to actually reform the police force so that it treats minorities better, so celebrating one that gets killed is incredibly tone deaf.

I've always felt that people frequently conflate household with individual income in an attempt to downplay income stagnation.

I'll be curious to see how median incomes track as people who entered the workforce post-great recession become a larger and larger percent of the total workforce.

when those on the right consistently trot out lines like "well, if [the victim] had just [pulled up their pants]/[followed the cop's instructions]/[not have been hopped up on demon weed six months ago]/[not been a thug], they'd still be alive today" i think it's pretty accurate to describe the right as racists because they support and encourage the enforcement of criminality based on racial stereotypes.

and yes, i'm including some democrats in on the right as well.

the explanation that "join them" was not a literal chant but instructions to join in the existing chant made much more sense than actually saying "get the gently caress out" to "love is love"

even if responding to "ban fracking now" with "hillary" makes no sense either

here's a better idea of income. 30k for employment median across the board, high 30s low 40s for small college degree, lots higher for bachelors.

Its because they don't want that message to be heard but they don't have a good counter-message. So they just want to drown it out.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

if there was the use of quotation marks, i'd understand, but like we've witnessed again and again, nothing suggested by democratic leadership has been much of a good look in the grand scheme of things.
