Are Liberals the Real Racists?

[Anonymous]

Why do Liberals think Black people are too dumb to use the internet or get an ID card?

[NamerOfStars]

Some of them, to be sure- but not most. They're not racist, just too prone to blindly accepting party-line doctrine without thinking it through. This is FAR from unique to liberalism- remember Dubya's followers?- they're just more prone to it at the moment. Logically, if the problem is that it's too difficult for people in black communities to get ID cards, the solution is to make it easier for them. The reason that's not the proposed answer is that the issue isn't being raised because it's a real problem, it's being raised as a way to foster division between the in-group and the out-group.

Liberals are Bullies they will argue and denote things if you do not agree with them they don’t care about people of color they seems them as a commodity for personal gain instead of respecting them as strong individuals, they use facts that don’t apply and get our when they are failing arguments and are such pussies Republicans are grown ass people they are just trying to get through the day and expect you to care for yourself because it’s your business if you do something with your own life

you were saying dick...

[Amarasimmons7]

@legalboxers You just proved the point of Liberals being bullies and racists. You did not like what @Tschil200 said, so you called him a name. Hypocrite much? And you're not making a point, because you didn't see what caused the reaction. Trump was merely making fun of the idiocracy of Ted Cruz's statment. This is coming from a black woman.

[RavenZ42]

No, and no one thinks they're "too dumb" to get an ID, but that black people are disproportionately affected by poverty and getting an ID can be incredibly expensive, especially if you don't have all your legal documents on hand. For example I need to get a new ID after moving and I'm waiting 6 months for a $90 copy of my birth certificate to even be able to start the process of getting an ID that in and of itself will cost $80. Which when the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 and rents, food and gas prices are skyrocketing, isn't easy to spare.

[Snakeyes7]

Let's not forget that you need an ID to do receive any (or what some what would precieve as) necessity in the US. A home, a car, a job, government programs etc.

I can't imagine that the number of people who are unable to get an ID of any kind would be as large as it is narratively presented.

[MCheetah]

As someone who grew up poor and black, if you afford an ID, or can't get an ID any other way, then you don't deserve voting rights. It's that simple. People who are too poor to even afford a requirement such as an ID, usually don't have much incentive to vote in federal (or even local) elections anyway, as they have bigger problems to worry about.

Regardless, Liberals could just make ID's more affordable or waive the processing fees for low-income residents, but they never choose to do that. Because they'd rather have illegal immigrants and dead people voting in elections than actually caring about low-income and inner city black constituents. (And ironically, most Mexicans and Black people tend to lean politically conservative and family oriented, anyway.)

[MCheetah]

if you *can't afford an ID

[Asker]

I’ve literally never had to produce a birth certificate for an ID in my entire life on this planet. You move? You go to the DMV and say “hey I need to update my address and get a new license.” It’s like five dollars. What the fuck are you talking about? I’ve lived all over the US and have had ID in multiple states. I had zero issues.

Maybe you’re just an illegal immigrant. Whatever you are, you’re clueless.

[Aerissa_Jade]

How would one even get a job without ID, every legal job I have ever had requires it.

[Robbey]

For me, racism is a cultural malignancy and U. S. liberals and conservatives share a broadly common culture. There is also nothing intrinsically racist about liberalism or conservatism. Therefore, the idea that liberals or conservatives are more racist than the other is patently absurd.

[zeitgeist057]

What the video sets up here is a correlation to people's (accurate) belief that black people are more impoverished (lack of resources) and therefore requiring people to have resources in order to vote serves to impede their ability.

Taking anecdotal interviews off the street and editing your video to support your narrative isn't hard, nor is it unbiased. While I wouldn't argue that the interviews shown were fairly representative and easy to get, I'd be willing to bet there were several interviews the editors decided not to use because they didn't support the narrative they wanted to present here. And also that there were interviews that weren't even conducted for various reasons such as what I just mentioned, but also for other reasons like the safety of the interview crew. I didn't see them interviewing any houseless people, anyone in a trap house, etc. I only saw middle class individuals in respectable attire approached.

As for the question, "Are Liberals the Real Racists? (sic)", racism is systemic. Of course there is racism on the left. Then we get into what the definition of racism is (it's changed over the years), which is another rabbit hole.

But I would say there were some borderline statements and some ignorance displayed, but in general it remains true that black people do not statistically have the same level of resources as white people. You can go interview all the people you like in the street and edit as many videos as you want, but that won't change the facts. It doesn't make stating those facts racist.

The real issue is about poverty (which affects many demographics, whites and black and others). To me it's more about impeding POOR people's ability to vote (whatever color they are) and the next step if you really want to talk about color is to recognize that the FACTS show that more black people are impoverished or that poverty impacts black people disproportionately to whites.

But I'm just as concerned about the poor white person who isn't represented by our government as the poor black person. Even if a representative group of 100 poor people might be 23 American Indians, 19 blacks, 17 hispanics, 8 white, 8 Asians, etc. It's not about color, it's about money and resources. And the laws that keep those without from representation.

[Tiffany_Taylor_Made]

The problem with this argument and video presented is that it relies on cherry picking rather than irrefutable, wide-reaching evidence. Firstly, merely because a White person believes that something can be considered "racist" does not automatically make them "liberal," especially if no evidence exists of them identifying as "liberal" themselves. Secondly, even if they were considered to be truly liberal, the opinions of only nine different individual White "liberals" do not represent all or a majority of White liberals. Third, nowhere in the video do the White people say that Black people are "too dumb to use the internet" or get a voter ID. Simply, the mere nine of millions of White liberals shown in this video could have simply been completely misinformed, which isn't the same as racism considering that racism refers to views of inherent inferiority based upon race, discrimination, stereotyping, and/or hatred. Because the video is heavily edited and not shot live, we don't know if the questions that the people were answering were truly relevant to the message that the video is trying to convey to the viewer. The fact is, even though I do disagree with the answers that these small amount of White people are giving, as having an ID isn't an issue in the Black community, Black people do have higher rates of living in extreme impoverished conditions that might make it harder to access the internet on a regular basis and it is possible that requiring people to have an ID to vote can make it easier for people to discriminate against certain people when voting, as several audit studies prove that Black people are more likely to be victims of discrimination in practically every category.

Firstly, the definition of racism regards attributing traits to race... and was redefined by Liberals decades ago to suit their agenda. E. g. Who will win the next olympic games 100m sprint? If you answered "a black person" then you are racist... even though a black person is highly likely to win, and it's possibly a compliment to say so. Racial hatred & racial prejudice are the 2 evils; they are both forms of racism... but not all racism is hateful or negatively prejudiced. Historically, Conservatives were commonly hateful and prejudiced, and it was sick and narrow minded. Now it's commonly Liberals, and esp university educated Liberals, who resort to prejudice without even knowing it. They don't intend to be hateful to Black Americans... but they do oppress them with their "poor black person, poor victim" social justice BS. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Liberals are the chief brick layers. I prefer to call them neo-progressives because there are still good old-school liberals around.

[Anonymous]

Yep. Liberals are. They control the entertainment industry and yet still promote content that's destructive towards black people. Content includes hip hop/rap music filled with violence, drug trafficking, promiscuity, kidnapping etc.

In addition, hollywood is heavily liberal and yet most of their content promote negative black stereotype. Blacks are often portrayed as criminals, comedians, jocks with little to no brains or womanizers. Very rarely are black people portrayed in positive light in film by hollywood.

We then look at democratic policies and its put in place to encourage blacks to be on welfare and depend on government support. This make black people easy voting pools to rely on come election time. Democrats were also responsible for flooding black neighbourhoods with narcotics resulting in a gradual destruction in stable, black households.

We then go on to other social issues and it was the democrats who were for segregation of black and white people. Dems also were the one who pushed for a crime bill in the 90s that caused heavy incarceration of black people.

Even in 2020 election we get hints of democratic leaders racism when we hear things like

"If you vote for trump then you ain't black". Imping that democrat own black people.

"Poor kids are just as bright as white kids". Implying that if your a minority then you are likely poor.

[RiseofArtemis]

Yes they are. Many of the things they do for the minorities in fact turn out to hurt them. Affirmative actions a. nd diversity laws hurt the people of minority because they will get those positions without trying. That means they don't have to compete and be better than others. In turn they often are less qualified for the job or don't know how to do it and it hurts the company as well. How many black children in the US don't know how to properly write or read now because they just get pushed through,

[TheMoralCrusader]

It is just the simple fact that the media is controlled by horrible people and they want a divide so they push all the people who are such a small minuscule part of the population and use that to fuel the divide. They would have you believe there is a neo nazi on every street corner or a trannies all over the place and black men with white girls everywhere you look when absolutely none of that is true but they know that pushing these things is gonna piss people off. The liberals who push all the PC nonsense are just brainwashed to do that.

[ShadezMcgee]

I would be willing to play Devil's Advocate and say a lot of them are ignorant if not fucking stupid with the words they say to those they claim to stand up for.

Kind of like a double take. A normal person will say something, hear it then be like, "oh, that was fucked up." But for these individuals they don't have their coming to Jesus moment until someone calls them on it, more likely the ones that they try to stand up for.

[Anonymous]

In some liberal-controlled states, they noticed that there were too many black kids thst were not graduating high school. The democrats solution? To remove the graduation requirements for 12th-grade proficiency in reading, writing, math, and English. Basically, they are saying that black people are not smart enough to pass the 12th grade, so we will remove that requirement. By the way, this makes the diploma a worthless piece of paper for the ones who actually earned it.

Says it all.

[kespethdude]

THey don't, Trumptard. Get off the Internet.

[exitseven]

Yes, everything is about race. Even hurricanes are racist.

[Avicenna]

Yes, among other things these totalitarians are racists. They hate people, and hate people being independent and free above all, though.

[OddBeMe]

No we just base it on facts. Minority communities have less access to transportation to go across town to get document A, back across town for doc B, all to get a voter ID for a problem that doesn't exist.

[MCheetah]

I've seen this before on GAG. Yes, many Liberals simply love to project.

[MCheetah]

Many Liberals are simply too ignorant to realize how awful they sound.

[Sixgunsound]

Unequivocally yes. That is why MLK and Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X were Republicans.

[Sixgunsound]

I believe the answer to this question can be summed up in the quote “scratch a white liberal find a fascist”.

[findacure4wokeness]

Leftist are so stupid. I would love to compare their IQs against their right leaning counter parts. If i was a betting man...

[AngryCarl]

How is wanting to allow people easy access to voting racist?

[Asker]

Moron. You ask for ID to prove that they are an American citizen legally allowed to vote.

Unless you’re okay with underage people voting, felons, and illegal immigrants having a say in American government.

God Lefties are such fucking retards man. I’m sorry but goddamn. 🤦‍♂️

[Lyndsielee666]

Name calling will definitely get the point across that the right is better 😂 lmfaoooo

[RationalMale]

Liberals are racist against White people, simply reality.

[coverboyoutlawbrady]

Most liberals are bigots, they're just sneakier about it than KKKonservatives.

[TroyDT2]

Some are, some aren't. Just like the other side.
