Chance the Rapper, Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, Kanye... Expected this from southern Republicans but not people who allegedly support free thought.
I'm a liberal and I notice that a lot of other white liberals feel that since conservatives often push policies that hurt minorities (race, religion, sex, sexuality, class, etc) they think that people belonging to any of those minorities are going against their best interest if they support people who make those policies. In some cases it may be true but a lot of the time it's patronizing and somewhat of a white savior complex coming out. Is it really surprising that an extremely rich man (Kanye) supports Trump?? Just because he's black doesn't mean he doesn't benefit from tax cuts to the rich.
I’m a liberal in the sense that I think we should live and let live. At the same time, I understand that republicans also think that their policies are helping people by encouraging them to be self sufficient. Democrats want to help by providing for people. Which one you prefer depends entirely on your psychological profile. If people realized that we differ mostly in our methods, not in our goals, the political climate would be much more productive.
Agree w booking.
Liberals are not against POC who think for themselves. Go away, Russian troll.
The vast majority of us aren't but there are many who are. It's not a "liberal thing" but it's surprising that there are people who feel this way and are also liberals.
Demonizing free thought. How Orwellian of you Careerkiller. Thanks for illustrating my point.
No need to single out democrats nor poc. thinking for yourself means you do not think what politicians tell you to think. that's not good for politicians, democrat or other. Secondly, very few people think for themselves. they have been voting for the same two parties for more than 100 years, they are simply not intelligent life forms
Intellect has nothing to do with it. We don’t have a responsive government or democratic culture. We live in a two-party state that manages the population for industry. People have low expectations and little formal agency - not voting, cynicism or getting caught up in silly culture wars are expressions of that.
Replace all instaces of "we have" and "things are" with "this is what we apes voted for" and you got an accurate statement.

The democrat party is home to virtually all race agitators. These are people who spend every day obsessed with race, say whites are inherently biased and eternally out to screw over/control black people + POC (similar to how white supremacists talk about Jews), but at the same time claim they themselves cannot be racist since they are POC. They discuss race because that is their career and only purpose in life. If all racism went away, they would have no power or career. So by nature they are agitators and want to keep people angry, confused, and divided. If you speak out against them they get really angry because you are undermining their scam.
Literally no Democrat has EVER done ANY of those things. You fundamentally misunderstand reality.
The longest serving democrat senator in history was a head of a KKK chapter. he served longer than any democrat in history and won more democrat elections than any democrat in history. He served until death, never to be replaced by a democrat who didn't serve as a head of chapter in the KKK. Democrats are as ignorant as they are racist.

Glad to hear you support black lives matter now. Now that we agree that both Republicans and Democrats sustain a deeply racist system that rips off both poor whites among others, has the largest per capita prison population and sells the US public wars with racist stereotypes of Asians and Arabs, let’s get down to business, punch a Nazi and smash the state.
How about no.
Liberals need POC to keep voting blue and to keep perpetuating the idea that republicans are racist. When a POC of color (Mia Love, Tim Scott, etc) stands for conservative principles it pisses them off bc it destroys their narrative and voting bloc. They can no longer control and use them. Liberals just want to continue division.
Liberals don't claim republicans as a class are racist. You don't seem to be aware of the modern definition of racism used in academic and political discourse.
What is the “modern definition” of racism?
Take a guess why you don’t hear about Clarence Thomas during black history month.
