At least 80% of the ACTUAL racism, sexism, misogyny & misandry that I see and hear, comes from people on the left side of the political aisle.

It's astonishing that these forms of bigotry and discrimination are still associated primarily with 'the right'.

The power of branding.

ALL OF MY LIFE, I've found it easier to get on with people in the centre, and conservatives.

They GENUINELY treat me as an equal and normal human being. With full agency and ability.

Lefties ALWAYS have to bring up 'race'. And they treat me like a pet, rather than an equal.

This occurs even if I don't share my own political views.

Centre/right people don't make assumptions. There's no presumption that I will, or must agree with them.

Leftists normally ASSUME I'm on 'their side' (oh, he's black) and become hostile when they discover otherwise.

Racism is a negligible issue in my personal life... Hasn't held me back from ANYTHING.

But I don't know if ever been called a 'coon', 'house n***er', 'uncle tom', 'race traitor', etc by somebody on 'the right'.

Always 'the tolerant left'.

And I have a large sample size. 🤔

To be ultra clear, I don't mean to say that most left leaning people engage in this behaviour.

But that most people who engage in this are lefties. It's tied into their identity politics, privilege/oppression, intersectional BS.

There are very fine people on both sides. 😁
