Search Results: race in politics

So my aunt and I had a debate. I feel she's extremely uneducated.

Her (democrat): republican party is for the rich and they all engage in tax evasion. They are racist and stopped all poll votes for blacks. I'd never vote republican , only token blacks vote republican. Also Republicans take American immigrants from their families. Gentrification is racist it's to get all the blacks out. Republicans don't pay taxes because they're rich


My response (republican):
-The democratic party is not helping you. Wake tf up. They constantly give out handouts such as welfare, ebt , tanf, and section 8 to any and everybody. There are no stipulations in place. Guess who suffers! Us the working class because it comes out of our checks. Democratic party is a bunch of enablers who want to control you and want you to depend on their system.

- poll votes weren't stopped at certain states due to race. It was a party vs party issue. Politics is a dirty game. It was done to keep another party from gaining votes. It just so happens in those states you mentioned majority of the democratic voters were black and latinos.

-Republicans are against illegal immigration not legal immigration. Those who were pulled from their families were here illegally and never gained citizenship. Those individuals are not only draining the system but if a crime occurs how would they track an illegal down? a lot of them go under an alias to get benefits from the system which we the working class gets taxed for.

- Gentrification isn't targeting a specific racial group. It's done to clean up areas which needs to be done. There was a particular area a client of mine lived in where there was drug deals, killings, and robberies regularly, and trash everywhere. That area got Gentrified as it should because those people didn't give a damn about where they live. If they did they wouldn't have behaved the way they did so yes they needed to go

I feel she feeds into the news without doing her own research

Apparently, since 77% of the people who go to national parks are white, the parks must be racist. Some of the complaints are that people of color can't afford to travel to these parks, or pay the park fees once they get there.

In a world where people gossip, I wouldn’t answer just any question in real life, not even my partner. I like to be a closed book and let people assume the rest. I wouldn’t answer questions like
Questions about politics...
“What are your political views?”
“What are your views on interracial relationships?”
”How do you feel about gender”
I don’t want to be making enemies within this political divided country and lowering my chances of finding the right guy... Or people to think I’m a liberal, racist, trashy or etc. based on my answer.

Questions about who I would or wouldn’t date...
“Would you date outside your race?” or “would you date ____ people?” or “what is your favorite hair/eye/skin color on a significant other”
Even if the person, who has a trait I don’t like, isn’t into me, it could make them feel bad about themselves if I answer these kind of questions. For example, if my partner has brown hair, I wouldn’t want him to feel bad knowing that strawberry blond hai is my favorite hair color on a man.

Questions about my family
“What are your parents like as a couple?” It’s no ones business about my family’s whereabouts and who they are.

Questions about my health
Again, no one’s business

Questions about my sexuality
Again it’s no one’s business. I’m a virgin and I keep that a secret in real life because it’s embarrassing for someone my age to be a virgin. I don’t like virgin hunters that much either. I don’t want people to be confused about my sexuality either just because they know I liked a masculine girl in high school. Or to think that I am more likely to cheat on my partner just because I crave sex a lot.

There are a few questions though, I wouldn’t answer on here or in real life either.
