”But he’s always so nice to me and my friends and family, who are exclusively white, he’s never racist around them.”
Damn, that’s totally what she’d say. Excluding the whiteness part. She hasn’t reflected on that.
That’s my mom. She doesn’t really think about stuff like that at all. I still get bullied by my dad whenever I date black people or any POC and I’m well into my 20’s.
At least you know what shirt to give to your dad next Christmas
Your dad is a butthead I’m sorry you have to deal with that.
My dad had an underlying hate towards others when I was little but it mostly sizzled out by the time Obama was president (2008). 2024 it’s a kerosene fire. Oddly when I was younger he went on a rant about Jews, yet now he seems fine with Jewish people and just hates everyone else.
Racism is back with a vengeance and media/news is promoting it.
My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.
Trump supporters in Canada are especially stupid.
I’ve seen Confederate flags flying off the backs of pick up trucks on the west coast of Canada… Amazing how stupid people can be
When you realize it’s about racism and not politics you understand why they are like this and it’s not surprising.
America does supply the best racist symbols after WW2 era Germany
don’t tel them Canada doesn’t have a president. Or god save the queen on their toonies.
I think German Trump supporters in Germany take the crown: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/07/world/europe/germany-trump-far-right.html
They even exist in Japan because he was “tough” on china
I’ve met a Belgian Trump supporter. The world just continues to surprise us eh?
When you’ve been conditioned all your life by society (and conservatives) to believe that your primary function is to be a baby factory, and you know you only have a finite amount of time to be a baby factory before you’re old and busted and cast aside, you do whatever you can to land someone stable enough to marry, regardless of their politics.
Define “stable”.
Might not kill you.
That… Makes me sad for some reason.
If these people are in your social circle it says more about you than “average” straight people.
Yeah, what kind of amoral filth still has Republican friends?
The only person i know who isnt homophobic, racist and xenophobic is my sister
I cant just not be able to talk to anyone
Where the hell are you (broadly speaking), because I’m in Tennessee (70% Trump 2020) and the only Republicans I have to deal with are family and work related.
Romania
I hadn’t realized it was quite that bad on those issues there, but I suppose you might have to grade on a curve.
I’ve never lived in a blue county
These people do exist all over the world, some are parents to users in this thread even!
I want that shirt
Here you go
You wouldn’t download a car
The fuck I wouldn’t

I know some fuckers out there definitely would
I don’t get the joke.
Neither did I. I may still not understand it. But I googled salon article and found a site with that name that publishes progressive news and opinions. So I guess they are saying a lot of couples are opposite in opinion on these things. They might be joking about the one spouse being oblivious to their partners racism or having double standards or something.

Pretty much. I personally find it funny because I know one of these couples. It’s obviously not 1/3, but they do exist.
The joke is that every 1 out of 3 heterosexual couples features a basic woman and a racist bro.
Sometimes the gal can be racist. My friends tried to hook me up with a cute lady who had an amazing accent. Turns out, she was south-african and very quickly let me know that ending apartheid was a mistake because “some people just can’t prepare for modern life”.
Noped right the fuck out of setting up that date.
Yeah, this is true. So-called “country girls” are some of the most racist people I’ve met.
She’s right, she is that some people.
Which is ironic because this is just another form of prejudism against heteros. Heterophobia?
These people definitely exist, and 1/3 of the time they find each other.
Oh no, not the poor heteros!
Hate is hate. Probably better to just be a nice person than to preach prejudism, no matter who it’s aimed at
It’s not prejudice to hate whoever I hate because I am a good person.
Said all those conservatives we all keep complaining about.
It’s a shame “the golden rule” was already taken. You’ve summed up so many ideologies!
We could go with the rusted rule. Pyrite (fool’s gold) rule. There are some options.
It’s ok to be racist against white people, you forgot
I think the point is that she’s a nice person in general and he’s a very racist POS.
Hm, ok, I would have never guessed it from her speech bubble.
It’s that they both are, he just wears it on his sle… Shirt.
She’s just more subtle. She supports BLM in spirit but agrees that the roads need to be clear for health and safety reasons.
She tolerates racism but wouldn’t be the first to speak
It’s funny because it’s soooo true!
In fact in MY suburbs, you see it in FIVE out of every FOUR hetero couples! Now waddaya think of that, huh?Lotta key parties in your neck of the woods?
For some reason I’m reminded of a local house that flies both the Confederate and Pride flags.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags, so I have to wonder if it is one opinion, or many.
Could also be someone flying the flags because they think it’s a funny thing to do, entirely unrelated to the political statement.
Which I guess is a political statement in itself.
I certainly found it funny as fuck, my thought process was “ugh, a bigoted cun-wait???”
gay people can absolutely be bigoted
I’m gay and I’ve lived in SLC for almost 65 years, and let me tell you - gay people are among the MOST bigoted. They think they are very accepting, but the truth is, most of them reject anyone who doesn’t fit their idea about what a gay male should be. If you look like a twink or you aren’t a certain way, you get shunned here completely. It’s really nasty to see.
But, the truth is, all human beings are bigoted. We have to be, we’re wired up that way. We are wired to want to only hang out with certain people and reject others, and see other people as inferior in almost every situation. It’s sort of a survival mechanism from primitive days, and it’s part of who we are as a species.
I used to work with a hispanic gay trump supporter who was also an evangelical Christian.
Just shows you how human beings are complicated, and so are our relationships.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags
I wonder how the Confederates would have felt about Pride month.
Most people were not very accepting of “different” people back then, but maybe it was just not talked about. There were a ton of “confirmed bachelors” and plenty of women had “roommates”.
People in the North and South were not different. The North had a ton of racists who didn’t want to fight and die for “colored people”. There was a huge riot in NYC of people who didn’t want to be drafted. They killed black people they found for no reason.
I think the Union’s stake in the civil war was more about federal supremacy over the United States (which obviously goes without question in a federal system). Ending slavery was just a function of that goal. I say this as someone who grew up in the southwest and is wholly committed to the authority of the federal government over individual states because that is obviously the system outlined in the constitution.
Of course “The North” was just as racist and still is just as shitty and racist as every other part of this country.
P.S. “The South” can suck it as a name, I propose a better title for former confederate states: The Losers (since it seems a certain demographic therein needs reminding).
Sure, the North wanted consolidation. Of course the only reason the south seceded was because the federation said no more slaves
Many of the people in the North were as racist as the South, but the government was less so
I don’t know what you are saying other than exactly what I said. Also The Federation isn’t a government yet, you’re about 140 years too early.
What did the south secede from?
pretty sure it wasn’t The Federation.
That’s not the look of a bigot, it’s the look of a man who’s fed up with low-rent posturing clickbait. The look of someone who got a Salon article entitled What your household’s toothpaste preferences say about White Fragility™ that he knows will be paygated or cookienoticed after two seconds’ scrolling.
I want you to describe every meme
The Most Racist Man Alive is a metal band 🤘 dude is just wearing their T shirt
Thought it was Bert Kreischer
itt, people this shitpost is about
It’s a meme that hits hard
What even is this? This is theleftcantmeme tier shit.
You projected politics onto it. Being racist or condemning racism is apolitical.

How do you know the guy is a conservative? The image mentions nothing about politics

I see a woman tolerant of racism while denying it and a racist man. The conservative part I’m guessing you extrapolated by the thought that it is a regressive trait and therefore more likely to be a conservative?

What is that saying? A hungry person always has bread on their mind.

Yeah, it is political, when your politics come down to “woke” vs “antiwoke”.
I’m starting to understand why today’s “conservatives” see a brutal dictator like putin as a hero. It doesn’t matter what he does, since he is “antiwoke”.
What even is this?
A shitpost.
Ok

Nah, progressive racism is well meaning misguided white savior sort of shit, like “if we cut welfare all the black people will starve!”
Still, cutting welfare would be bad
I agree. Their intentions are good. Their justification is fucked though.
