Here is one explanation of the difference between a White Liberal and a White Conservative:


I think the brother is right on the money, but I wonder if Liberals and Progressives would agree.

I agree with him as I have argued this view in various threads over my time in the Forum. That Liberals and Progressives tend to look at us as being "less than" them, albeit they assert it's not "our" fault. Rather that those of us who don't agree with/or support their ideas about us are just brainwashed, or misguided, or just confused, anything but that we could have our own actual ideas and ideals and goals that might not align with their world-views.

But woe unto any of us who wander off the Democrat Plantation, as they will turn on us and have their various anointed leaders in the Black Community try to tear us down.
 
White liberals understand that the massive schism between rich and poor is a fundamental problem in this country, possibly the biggest problem in this country.....whereas white conservatives are obsessed with race and are racists for the most part.

Poor white conservatives vote against their best economic interest every election because race is more important to them than their wallets.....****ing suckers, all of them.

It's the left obsessed with race. It wouldn't even be a thing any more without the left keeping it alive.

It is the peasant duty of poor white conservatives to protect the wealth of rich Repugs. You all are serfs from the Middle Ages.....protecting the wealth of your feudal masters.

You have no choice in the matter. After all, rich Repugs are your intellectual and moral superiors and they know what is best for you. SUCKERS, all of you.
 

Didnt watch it but based on a sentence in your post, (bolded) for MAGA conservatives of any color...to have supported and continued to support TACO blindly and completely and unquestioningly....we see MAGA conservatives as weak-minded, servile, *incredibly accepting of autocracy and a self-described king, and gullible enough to consider themselves reflected in TACO's power...while he clearly considers them merely useful and uneducated (his words) pawns.

*They are happy to accept an iron fist that removes choice from their lives so that they can always blame someone else when things dont work out for them.
 

Aww gee, don't hold back. Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel.

Here's how I really feel about your post:


Enjoy.

Didnt watch this one either.

But it's good for you to get your feelings out too. It's not a counter argument tho...and I like that as well.
 
The White Progressives believe that they are superior to other White people and also to racial minorities.
White Progressives exploit African Americans.
White Progressives fan the flames of racial hatred ever chance that they get.
 
I think the key difference in perspective comes down to whether you believe individuals operate entirely on their own—or whether you recognize that people’s choices are deeply shaped by the circumstances they’re born into. No one is born into a vacuum. Family poverty, underfunded schools, unstable housing, lack of access to health care and nutrition, exposure to violence or discrimination—these are real forces that shape opportunity long before a person ever fills out a job application or takes a test.

Liberals aren’t saying that personal responsibility doesn’t matter—of course it does. But they also recognize that two people putting in the same amount of effort can get wildly different results depending on where they started from. You cannot just completely divorce them from the circumstances of their birth. That’s not making excuses; it’s just being honest about how the world works.

And it’s not about race versus class, either. Liberals are just as concerned about a child growing up in rural Appalachia as they are about one in an inner-city neighborhood. The point is that if we want to reward hard work and potential fairly, we have to make sure people have a fair shot to begin with.

Conservatives often emphasize individual effort above all else—but the data keeps telling a far more complicated story. If effort alone were the deciding factor, we wouldn’t see such stark differences in outcomes across zip codes, school districts, or racial and ethnic lines. That’s not about “victimhood”—it’s about taking an honest look at the structural barriers some people face, and deciding whether we want a society that levels the playing field or just pretends it’s already level.

There's a word for that: it's called jealousy.

Except it's the left that makes everything about race and supports DEI. Conservatives just want the best person for the job.

So basically all the left has is jealousy, the race card, and gaslighting for anyone that doesn't buy that as an entire platform.
 
Nothing says arrogance like the quote above. You seem to take pride in being so superior that you didn't have to watch the video clip and yet wanted to give an opinion about the content of the clip and people who don't fall in lock step with your beliefs.
 

Yeah, victims might see it that way. My "beliefs" are based on what I see happening everyday coming out of the WH. Firing the people who produce data that reflects badly, removing judges and lawyers that dont obey, changing history in our museums, failing in public relations over and over, etc.
 
I think that's a pretty accurate way to explain it. The liberals think they know best, think they should call the shots for everyone because everyone else is stupid in their eyes. This includes the political opposition. So when black Americans don't agree with their liberal overseers, the liberals go nuts and shift to savior mode whether you want it or not. Conservatives just want you to help your selfs, pull your own weight and be one of the many doing the same thing. Conservatives appreciate hard work and ethics and morality. The liberals don't and show it by making excuses for their followers no matter what they do. I think the tide is slowing turning away from the liberals because of their extreme views and because of how they look down on everyone who doesn't agree with them.
 
White liberals don't put any value in working for what you get. They say they hate the wealthy although many of them are the wealthy. They look down on the working class middle America and are convinced we need to be saved. I guess 20 million illegal immigrants that we are supporting is helping us save ourselves.
 

 


That is affirmation for racists.

It has nothing to do with jealousy. Massive economic disparity leads to political and economic turmoil.

Hence, why we now have a monster like Trump in the White House.....a deranged **** who pardons hundreds of domestic terrorists and protects child molesters in order to protect himself.

Maybe. But Republicans no longer do. Just the opposite. They embrace mediocrity, sloth, and unearned privilege. They absolutely abhor the concept of competence and merit.
 
Only a self righteous progressive would say or believe this stuff. Poor white conservatives just expect everyone to pull their weight and don't like it when they don't. Liberals tell you it's racism to expect people to work, and make their way. Hasn't a thing to do with race. Poor whites don't like poor whites who don't work and earn their way. Ever heard the term "white trash", used by millions of poor whites referring to people you don't earn their way and expect the rest of us to take care of them when they are capable of taking care of themselves but won't.
You can refer to us as racists, we can't stop you, but personally I'm a behaviorist. How you behave is all I really care about. You behave badly and I'm not going to think very highly of you, regardless of skin color.

You'd think the Soviet Union would be the most stable country in the history of humanity then.

Seriously, I see no correlation between that and the countries that come up here:

Income inequality: Gini coefficient

The Gini coefficient measures inequality on a scale from 0 to 1. Higher values indicate higher inequality. Depending on the country and year, the data relates to income (measured after taxes and benefits) or to consumption, per capita.
ourworldindata.org

That would make Ukraine and Belarus more stable than Canada!
