Not where I live in rural Kentucky. Their point of view is that the n word is dirty, just like them colored folks, and they're not going to foul their pristine white mouths with it.
Fucking hateful pompous holier than thou bastards.
Just wait until you find out a significant portion of abolitionists pre-Civil War hated slavery because they didn't want Black people on this continent at all. That's how Liberia was founded 🙃
Tbh that seems like the more logical reaction for someone who hates a particular race. Like if people don’t like wasps, they just want to get rid of them, not use them in a controlled environment for pollination.
The pro slaver types strike me as authoritarian fascists who lusted for power over others more than simple racists.
As one of those rural Kentuckians, that's exactly what some of them would say. I also can't overstate how transformative the ACA/Obamacare has been for those of us in rural towns, and it's absolutely maddening we're at serious risk of losing it because of a bunch of racist, misogynistic dickheads.
Unfortunately, they are too proud to admit their mistakes to themselves or even more so their children. That's how this shit keeps getting kicked down the road rhetorically.
Yeah but if you can’t even sacrifice for the future of your own kids you’re already lost. Admitting you’re wrong is nothing compared to that. People are selfish. They need to suffer to learn why their parents and grandparents sacrificed for them.
The richest among us have always pushed racism as a way to divide their workers against each other in order to control their labor costs. If racism magically went away, along with the other bigotries peddled to them by the wealthy-funded media, they would realize the only divide that matters in society is wealth/resources, and a teeny tiny percentage of Americans are hoarding almost all of America's wealth/resources for themselves.
They vote for those politicians because the politicians before them made sure their schools stayed racially segregated and defunded so they churn out more dumb racist voters.
Of course, lmfao.being black myself.overt racist dont really bother me.its the secret racist such as within the medical field and government that are the most dangerous
The ones in the medical field are horrifying. They'll pretend they don't hate or have bias against you until they let little things slip like "are you sure that's your pain level?" and administer care in the harshest way possible without offering medication since they think you can take it
It's an unfortunate failure of the healthcare system. The mortality of black people, especially pregnant black women when in the hands of healthcare workers needs to be fixed. Fortunately more black nurses and specialists are signing on every day.
This reminds me. Wasn't there a woman who was studying computer programming and she was doing research on the mortality rate of black women during pregnancy and then she died too. She was also a cheerleader, I think that's why it was on the news.
Been a while since I read on this, but I do recall even hearing about black doctors doing the same. It's how they were trained. Systematic to the core levels of fucked up shit.
This is low key insane to me. I would have never thought that some people would have to specifically request specialists just to receive basic care correctly.
Its not that white doctors havent been good to me,its moreso id feel more comfortable that the chance of weird racial medical malicious intent is zero with a fellow black person
Try being a middle-aged white woman and receiving healthcare without being asked a billion questions about depression and anxiety and then being told your pain is all in your head.
The only people who get their pain treated are old white men
As someone who is likely in your neighboring state I'm just glad they've stopped the pagentry and just saying what they mean. Then again we have a whole new slew of dog whistles to deal with.
Know what neither side wants everyone to know. Obama got the basic framework for the ACA from Mitt Romney's Massachusetts Healthcare Reform Act of 2006. Lol also known as Romneycare.
And Trump will replace it with something much better and much cheaper! Of course he can’t tell us what that is, because only he understands it (he’s protecting us really). After all, no one knows healthcare better than Trump - he told us that himself. He really does have a great concept of a plan!
People really need to understand "Obamacare" is a dogwhistle for conservatives!
For them it literally means 'healthcare for urban black people'. Whereas the ACA means 'healthcare for rural white people'. So when conservative whites say they oppose Obamacare but like the ACA what they are really saying is 'I don't think black people should have the same health coverage as white people'. It's what they meant by the whole 'hurting the right people' thing.
"MAGA" is the old Dixiecrats. They are more economically liberal than the business wing of the GOP, but also fundamentally white supremacist (and straight christian et.) so they want gov that helps them but not 'those' people, they just know not to say it too loudly so they end up sounding more stupid than racist.
These people voted to take healthcare away from others, yes they are stupid for thinking it wouldn't happen to them, but that'a what they ultimately want, help for the 'right' people and none for the 'others'.
I cant wait. These fuckers all deserve this. All of them. The temper tantrums, the fuck your feelings but mine are important; owning the libs, ME ME ME attention.
Its been almost a full fucking decade of these, not even bottom of the barrel; under the barrel mold just clinging to
us
With all my thoughts & prayers hope they get everything they voted for
Obamacare, the law that allowed flying spirits to swoop down from the sky and eat children in maternity wards? Couldn't be confused with the ACA, which mandates insurance can't deny you for pre-existing conditions and that they can't make unlimited profits from insurance premiums. Definitely not obamacare, which mandates doctors call unelected bureaucrats anytime somebody codes to see if they can perform CPR or not. Couldn't be the ACA which allows people to get preventative services without cost-sharing. Obamacare allows evil spirits to inhabit your body because its made entirely of kenyan witchcraft.
So the thought process is that you accuse somebody of witchcraft to other them, and you accuse somebody of being a foreigner to other them, so by accusing them of foreign witchcraft you're double othering them.
You see a good analogue in some chinese, or more specifically Hong Kong, Kung Fu movies where somebody does something out of pocket and you get the line "Must be some kind of Christian Magic", and then you get the Taiping rebellion.
That's literally it. Can't have ur life saved by a black guy. I saw a gen xer on twitter with every other post is Obama morphing into a lizard person. Bruh, Obama has been gone for 8/9 years, and ur STILL upset a black man was elected? The other posts were rambling about Obama care. How much u wanna bet that this fat gen x guy in poor health has used the ACA?
Also it's entirely likely that most people in red states didn't actually vote for Trump and it was rigged elections that create the appearance to the contrary.
I actually heard someone say that in real life. Stupid fucker. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE cancel the ACA! The schadenfreude will wash over 'Murica like a warm blanket.
