Why is race even a factor is this? Are yt ppl really this jaded? Do y’all not realize that Black ppl can be on either side of the party? Liberal or conservative

There’s a book relating to getting along across the political divide called “I Never Thought of it That Way” by Mónica Gúzman. Maybe some of y’all should give it a read :) Honestly no side will ever be right or wrong. I think if we had more major parties in the U.S. it probably wouldn’t be as big of a divide.

“There is no statistic that would say otherwise.” The only statistics your side has are from cops that almost exclusively patrol black communities. Thats where the famous 13% 50% statistic comes from.

Because they’re racist? I thought that was pretty obvious.

If you’re hanging out with Klan members, even if you are NOT a Klan member. I’m still gonna assume you’re a horrible person… the grounds that you willingly hang out with Klan members. It’s pretty easy to not associate with white supremacists.

Being around klan members in order to convince them to stop being in the klan is not associating with the klan.

That is associating with them. He had conversations with them which means he associated.

If you can’t gleam what I meant in my comment, I worry about your reading comprehension. Talking to Klan members PURELY to convince them of the error of their ways makes you OPPOSED to the Klan. I’m talking about people who are, at best, indifferent to the Klan and other supremacists.

Has nothing to do with reading comprehension when you made a blatant comment stating if you associate with them you are a horrible person. There is zero context in which you mean if you are only in an agree with them. He was friendly to them and associated with them by communicating with them.

“There is zero context” Untrue, I explained the context in my first reply. All you’re proving is that you stopped paying attention after my first comment. That’s an unhealthy conversation strategy.

Plus relating conservatives to being in line with the KKK and the confederacy can be offensive. My family is full of conservatives (I do get a bit pissed at them when they get a bit homophobic), but that doesn’t mean they’re in line with the KKK and the confederacy (probably don’t even know about the relations). They’re just people who live their lives and vote a certain way due to their values.

Not all democrats may support the lgbtq community, and might just vote that way, again, due to their personal values. They’re also just human. We live in a world of stereotypes where labels can get to a point of generalisation, bandwagoning, or even harm. Going back to my family, they may vote republican, but might switch to Democrat if they feel their rights are harmed by the Republican Party. An example might be the right to abort a child if needed or to keep my right as an aroace person.

At the end of the day we’re all human with our own values, lives, relationships, and experiences that have lead us to where we are in life. It’s the people who spread misinformation that cause a divide. This misinformation may be biased information that just gets echo’d around their circle, only reenforcing their beliefs instead of seeing the other side. Honestly nothing in life is ever true unless you experience it for yourself. Stay curious :)

People give their own meaning to the world. The world around us is neutral in concept, but people give their own meanings to it and that gives it value based on the person
