For social experimental/research purposes, do you believe that one side of the political spectrum is more racist towards POC than the other, or if one side is exclusively more racist? Why or why not? And I’m talking about the people who identify with the party, not the party itself. Please do not spread hate in the comments, I’m just doing this for research, thank you.
I just wanna see if my observations are correct or not, I will not be stating them til the end of the poll results, thanks for participating.

People who are downvoting others opinions solely because they are from a different political party and petty and pathetic. This wasn’t meant as a debate, this was to see something. And I’ve noticed it’s only lib opinions that are downvoted, y’all need to do better. Both suck.
Do you think racism is exclusive to one political party READ DETAILS?

I am jist shaking my head in amazement at the comments of these liberals on here. In reality, you would find about an equal number of racists on each side. The democrat politicians use racism as a political tool to advance their political agenda. The radical left group that runs the democrat party also sadly controls most of the media, all of the big tech companies, (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc.), so unfortunately, they have the power to shape they way people think. Also, over the past several decades, they have managed to take over the public school system and colleges. All of the teachers unions are completely liberal. Their media pushes a coordinated message that all conservatives are racist and they have managed to convince their own base that gets all of their news from sources such as CNN. 🙄 Ironically, a lot of African americans are begining to see through the scam. Trump actually had a larger percentage of the black vote in 2020 as he did in 2016. I have a best friend who's dad is a big Trump supporter. She is mixed race, and is half black. Her "racist" father has a black wife, and 3 children by her. He is also successful and has a masters degree. He would never be alowed on CNN because they will only show republicans who are inbred, confederate-flag-waving rednecks to keep up their stereotype. I am in the suburbs, and I have seen many redneck homes that had Biden-Harris signs. The stereotypes are not real. I feel sorry for people who blindly follow the left-wing indoctrination. They consider themselves "woke", but they are far from it.

Well straying away from bias and the media, what’re your thoughts on right winged people who give you guys a bad rep? You know those who are openly racist and will express whatever they want? I feel like the racist voices of republicans are always the loudest and it’s unfortunate.
Anyway I agree that both sides have racists, but I’ve only experienced it from one side mostly hence why I asked this question to see if anyone else has had a completely different experience or logic behind this.
I voted for "C", although I will admit, I was tempted to vote for "A". I think the main difference between people who identify as "conservatives", and "liberals" when it comes to this issue is how each type of person expresses their racism.
Racist people who are "conservative" tend to be the overt racists, meaning they will just throw out racial slurs, and defend it by claiming "It's muh freedom of speech". They will probably be the type who literally will admit "I hate (insert race", and literally have no admitting as such.
Racist people who are "liberals" tend to be the more covert racists. They rarely use racial slurs, or admit they dislike a particular race, but they definitely show racism in a more subtle way. I've been around openly "proud liberal" people who will dumb-down their speech when talking to racial minorities, or skip stopping a a certain store because it's in "the rough parts of the city"(AKA-the non-white parts of the city). Then, they often assume for whatever reason, that racial minorities aren't intelligent enough, or have the ability to work for themselves, gain their own wealth, use the internet, get a Driver's License, etc.

Worded perfectly, that helped clarify quite a few things thanks for commenting.
I hate to be the guy to say this but most racist people aren’t even aware that they’re racist so this poll isn’t going to get good results because let’s say a racist liberal votes “conservatives are far more racist” because they’re biased, they probably aren’t aware that they themselves are an issue, and vice versa. I used to be a racist ignorant arsehole and I never knew until now, I’d be pointing fingers when I should’ve pointed at myself.
TLDR: racist people don’t know what racism is therefore they will deny what they are. Personally I’ve met way more racist conservatives than racist liberals but that’s my experience which doesn’t mean it’s everyone else’s.

That’s very true actually, people don’t really take accountability either so even if they were self aware, it wouldn’t help much.
I don't think racism is bound to a party but it is bound to certain ideological beliefs which I think are more often found in one political party (in my opinion this is liberals). Now I do think we should clarify what kind of racism, because I do not think that either party has the type of racist views we normally think of when we here of racism, rather I see the racism of the "liberals" as more akin to "the white man's burden", this idea of minorities needing white people to lift them up, that everything wrong in their lives some how revolves around white people which in turn implies that minorities have little to no agency i. e. they are effectively children as it pertains to personal responsibility and ability. Also known as the soft bigotry of low expectations (they will make excuses for minorities and their behavior that they would never make for white people.). I think that its not intentionally malicious, but I do think its just as if not more damaging then the more upfront racism we think of when we here the word racism.

Well to clarify I meant racism against minorities and people of color, because yes I’m aware that liberals can be “racist” against white people at times but I’m talking about that at the moment. Interesting take though, thanks for commenting.
Well racism is racism regardless of race, but yes that was exactly what I was talking about (I don't believe I mentioned white people being discriminated against (though the left does do this). The "white man's burden" is the excuse colonials used to justify taking over other nations and controlling indigenous people. Basically they pointed out that they where "uncivilized" and violent and they didn't know any better so it was the white mans burden (the implication being we where superior in some way) to go in and force these other groups to be better people and give them civilization and basically uplift them from their poverty and savagery into something "better".
I think this mentality lives on in most of the lefts ideology as at no point do they ever seem to think that minorities can function without them that they need white people to be their advocates and everything is white peoples fault implying that minorities have no real power of their own. That is what I was refering to.
it is more prevalent at the outer edges of parties.
for example, it’s common in the UK for the left to target Jews and also the far right target them.
those in the centre don’t really care.
my personal belief is that the more extreme a persons views on a certain area, politics, religion etc, then they also have similar views towards, sexism, sexuality, racism.
Also you can have positive and negative discrimination,
where you over compensate for something, where say a culture is more racist, one party usually centre to left over compensate and discriminate against the ethnic group that are not those overall being discriminated against.
Also again UK wise, you have people changing parties a lot, so last time they voted Labour (left) this time they vote Conservative (right) but they still keep their racist views.
my personal view is that how the political party is, people with overall similar views on race etc, will gravitate to those parties.
I mean.. I fail to see how this is even a question worth asking. Every person is at some level racist, it would be inhuman not to since it falls back to how we view the world and rationalize it but some people are more racist than others and those people tend to be conservatives.
There are many reasons for this such as the republican strategy in USA to appeal to them specifically as their primary voterbase (read about the southern strategy for more information) or how conservatism is inherently reactionary so both appeals to racists and breeds racist ideology in people.
A good example is the xenophobia of "Immigrants coming over here causing problems and/or taking our jobs." A cornerstone of conservative ideology is tribalism where you group the people you want to support you into one group and make them feel afraid or threatened by another group such as foreigners or ethnic groups which results in them rallying behind you as their leader and you just won the game of politics.
There is just so many ways conservative parties around the world and even conservative ideology feeds into racism.
Extremists (not necessarily just racists) are the issue. Unfortunately for the vast majority of the general population, many extremists tend to have the deepest pockets and the loudest voices. Also, "weaponized faux racism/sexism" is a major problem. A four point example:
Person A and Person B are different races/sexes.
They argue or disagree on something that has nothing to do with race/sex.
One person who's argument is emotional and logically flawed finally just says, "You only disagree with me because you're racist/sexist."
When you use racism/sexism as a weapon and falsely accuse someone of being racist/sexist, that by default makes the accuser a racist/sexist. It's a form of psychological projection.
This tactic is almost always implemented by "educated" or "privileged" generally Caucasian leftist liberals (many celebrities and professors are perfect examples) that have just about zero actual life and living experience. They would have you believe that the average random everyday person that works to feed their family and anyone not that's liberal, regardless of political leanings or income or education, is to blame for everything that they don't like, whether or not their dislike of something is based on any sort of logical reasoning or reality. They usually base their arguments on emotions instead of facts.
Are there extremist conservatives that are completely racists/sexists and have nothing but contempt for the average everyday person? Absolutely. The difference is that they're usually far more open about their racism/sexism and they don't usually implement complex ruses (see example above) as liberals usually do to sell their flawed arguments.

Yeah I agree, can’t stand extremists. And that’s a good point, conservatives are care free and will say whatever is on their mind, they’re very open with their racism (if they’re racist) whereas liberals tend to hide it (if they have it). Still, I rather if someone is racist, they keep it internal so it doesn’t hurt anyone. And yes weaponised racism is dumb, it only devaluates the term and makes it a lesser deal than it is
Well unfortunately, there's all sorts of faux victims out there, that use labels and the system as a weapon in their crusades, which takes attention away from real victims and real issues.
Democrats definitely have a long history of being prominent in slave states, fighting a civil war against the union, starting the KKK, attacking White Republicans that supported the end of slavery, attacking Jewish and Black Republicans, starting Jim Crows laws, fighting integration, running Black race riots in large cities to bring terror on other races, forming the BLM/ANTIFA that openly push racism and attack and murder people over their race and political beliefs, pushing critical race theory which is highly racist and communist, pushing for the reestablishment of segregation today, etc.
Neo liberals are pretty racist the engage in Soft bigotry of low expectations, they say you can’t have an opinion about a topic because of the color of your skin. They think white people have a privilege just because the white. As Candice Owens says, The idea of white privilege it subjecting that white people are superior than black people because they have privilege that black peoples don’t which makes them better. It’s the same augment that the KKK and neo nazi have, the difference is neo liberals use it and then try give black people hand out and punish white people for what happened 161 years ago, Neo liberals are racist to the Core and they don’t understand how they’re being racist but they’re incredibly racist

White conservatives: majority hate blacks White liberals: majority secretly feel blacks are too dumb to obtain voter ID, think they are physically unattractive (I have white friends that say they support Blm because they feel bad for them since they are ugly and less intelligent or less educated). Their words not mine.
So on one party, yeah, you got them hating most poc since they want to maintain their identity (race mixing destroys identities). And since white people account for less than 10% of the world, they are extreme minorities so they want to maintain their identity.
On the other party (democrats), you literally have people that see themselves as superior. On the other party (conservatives), you have people that only care about their culture and countries and people.

This is why Im a moderate at the moment, especially since I’m not white lol both sides have flaws like the ones you stated.
"White conservatives: majority hate blacks White liberals: majority secretly feel blacks are too dumb to obtain voter ID, think they are physically unattractive (I have white friends that say they support Blm because they feel bad for them since they are ugly and less intelligent or less educated). Their words not mine."
This is basically what I wrote for this question. The "conservatives" are the overt racists, while the "liberals" are the covert racists.
I’m literally Asian tf do you mean white? I’m literally agreeing with you I don't know why you have to push your assumptions onto me... also quite honestly if I was white why would I ask a question solely based on people of color? Wouldn’t I be more focused on my own race? Jeez, can’t win with people on here, you agree with them and they still get mad 🤡🤡🤡
Give me an example of any Conservative Republican making an overtly racist statement in the last 50 years. We are responsible for freeing the slaves and civil rights legislation. The leftist stereotyping of conservatives being racist is projection by democrats and is a myth.
@Dargil Then I guess white crime would be way less, and whites never have drug issues and immigrants cause the most crime ever. But none of that is remotely true.
@OddBeMe If course not. He spoke the factual truth. “crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced” in all of the largest Democrat cities like Chicago, New York and Saint Louis. The solution is not defunding police, it's school choice, among others.
I know one party claims to not be racist but they keep a certain race under control with welfare checks food stamps and Medicaid, their political history back to the founding of America smacks of racism, slavery, civil war, emancipation, Jim Crow laws, voting against desegregation, voting against voter ID, segregation. Our current pResident is a racist, friends with kkk members, bro Nazi types, and has been caught numerous times denigrating a certain race in America.
i've seen so many liberals especially female liberals act extremely racist against white people particularly straight white males it's sickening how they can even consider themselves human beings especially when they're white themselves. but the moment anyone says anything even slightly negative about any other race they stonecast you or stone you to death. bunch of hypocrites.

Well that wasn’t my question because it’s been a very long controversial debate on whether or not people can be racist towards white people. My question was solely on people of color, but I get where you’re coming from.
Data shows that half of white liberals don't have any close friends with AA , compared to only 33% of white conservatives. Now the question is why? Why would a (Black or brown) person be more likely to form close friendships with a group that's labelled as racist by the left?
@OddBeMe Answer me this. Why would black people be close friends with a group you labeled as racist? Common sense would tell you that people with more diverse friends would less likely to be racist than the group with less diversity. 2+2=4
You admitted you are a racist on this site , yet you project your racism unto others. The fucking irony 😂😂😂
@OddBeMe liberals want diversity NOW becuase there aren't diversity in all of the left leaning institutions like the media, tech , collages , Hollywood, Corporate America ( which is very left ) FYI , there was a business insider report which showed that the companies who donated the most to BLM had the least amount of black/brown employees. 😂😂
Anyways I don't want to engage with a racist like you any more. Buzz off.
@OddBeMe I wonder if those African Americans claimed as 'friends" by Conservatives would consider these people friends? I doubt many would. I suppose in the Trump world any person of color they don't lynch is considered the Conservative definition of "friend"
@White_Boy_506 well like I said this wasn’t supposed to be a debate I’m just gathering info. So can people just accept other opinions and agree to disagree like mature beings? There are tons of conservatives on here who said “liberals” without justification and they got no downvotes or backlash.
I wasn’t sure if it was them as a whole or just the ones my age because the kids at my school who support trump are beyond racist but I thought that was an age/ignorance thing.
Donald Trump supporters weren't necessarily politically "conservative" though. Many of them don't even have a political agenda at all. At this point, I look back at them as more of a cult than anything.
I’m asking you to clarify and elaborate. You have your experiences I have mine, why are you devaluating mine? I haven’t devaluated yours, I’m just asking for further explanation because I’m curious... tbh i expected that from you
“I expected that from you” implies that just because I’m not a conservative, I must be a liberal therefore of course I’m expected to have the opposite experience. But to clarify I’m not a liberal either.
