Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends
Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends
... you, uh, new here? They never thought interracial friendships should be tolerated. And yes. They've thrown tantrums about it. (see.... the whole civil rights movement era..)
Never in history have conservatives been the good guys. Why would they start now?
There is a bit of truth in that title
Right-wingers don't think
So what you’re saying is right wingers are hateful racists? Huh
This is not a winning strategy.
It is for Republican primaries, and 222 House general elections.
Wow. That is an insane level of racism if true.
But they will still quote MLK Jr.
While claiming the Democrats are the party of slavery while holding the Confederate flag and holding propaganda associated with being party of slavery.
They had a dream, a dream where all children are created sperate, but equal.
My kids best friend in kindergarten was a black kid. Unfortunately they didnt end up on the same school.
Ive seen no black kids around my sons age at his current school
(We live in Denmark. Black population is only 2% or something)
So who are my mixed race kids supposed to be friends with?
Themselves?
Pre Antebellum Republicans strike again
They would hate me.
From the person complaining:
When asked for an example of what was concerning parents, Dungan replied: “A poster that shows ‘All Belong Here’ with racially colored hands. This was an example that was first brought to me early this year.”
She continued: “I think the intention of the poster was good and the parent thought that the intention of the poster was good. However, the unintended consequences of that poster made the first grader feel like ‘why wouldn’t I be accepted here?’ It had a reverse effect on the first grader because it was in the classroom.”
Not a good argument at all- but she clearly didn't say kids of different races couldn't be friends.
well that's just not smart.
Hey uh, you guys don't actually trust an article from Salon do you?
From what I remember, those are the lefties that say if you're black you're forever oppressed and you're incapable of following your dreams cause of your race and that's why you should be babysitted and put above others, cause you're supposedly incapable cause you were born a different race.
This article really sucks lol. Can we not generalize people based on a woman who said she doesn't like progressive posters?
The whole scope of behavior by the American right tells us that the majority of them are racists, not "just one lady who doesn't like progressive posters." Also, it's pretty clear you didn't read the article, just the headline.
The majority of people who identify with "the right" are racist? I hope you have a source because it's not in the article.
Just getting tired of blanket statements from militant teens, telling all other impressionable teens how to think.
Stupidity like racial intolerance needs to be combated with systematic changes like education. Not by circlejerking with like minded people who don't offer any criticism to the parties they think they hate so much.
To quote another comment
"The lady is part of a large, well funded, national movement of white christian nationalist women orchestrating school board take overs. "
Sure, just as long as we don't institute policies that make some single woman's opinion about a decoration in a classroom into a thing that has to be examined in detail by teachers and administrators.
But whoops, that's what Florida has already done...created a bloated, forced Karen-based bureaucracy in education.
Lol funny how the media needs to pretend that some random nobody represents the entire right.
Both of you didn't ready the article. The lady is part of a large, well funded, national movement of white christian nationalist women orchestrating school board take overs.
Did we need another post about this? there's already one that was posted with the same link
If you have 10 people and 1 Nazi sitting at a dinner table and willingly eating together, you have 11 Nazis. You vote for Nazis. You are complicit. I don't care if you don't want to vote for Nazis. You vote for Nazis anyway. No one is forcing you to vote for Nazis.
When right-wingers clean their own house then, and only then, may I reconsider my opinions. If you are a friend to a rasicist (etc), support them, invite then to parties, vote with them then I see no difference.
Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.
And yet something like 30% of eligible Americans voted for trump- and while a substantial number of republicans didn’t vote for trump but did vote down ballot… the vast majority of voting republicans did.
You’d be more persuasive if ya’ll didn’t vote for trump or the assholes like him.
Or even just came out and criticized them to their faces… and not inside the “librul echo chamber”; where it’s safe.
Silence is complicity.
You cannot be silent and not at least partly to blame.
Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.
That has not been the impression they give me when I've had disagreements with the right wing people who I know. If you bring up any of the horrible shit the people they support do, they'll just shrug and say "well, I can't vote for x, they're a Democrat. It's not really a big deal anyways"
I'm also curious what you think racism is. I know a lot of racist Democrats, too.
Go out there and meet some people. We’re all humans and it would be a lot easier to solve our problems if we were in this together.
I think this is naive. That sentiment is collectivistic. Right wing politics is vehemetly individualistic. They'd just call you a communist and ignore anything you'd have to say. They don't want to solve problems, they want only their problems to be solved.
Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.
Trump has consistently polled a majority of Republican voters for years now, so your claim is completely baseless.
They can just not vote but they do vote and they vote for the degenerates so that... They get lower taxes? Is that what they are selling their souls for?
Fuck, I don't know. All the right-leaning individuals that I know, mainly my blood family, are bigoted in many ways. This shit is really obvious to be as a queer person.
People say "not all right-wingers" but like... It basically is. And even if they may not personally be bigoted, they still end up supporting parties or systems that are.
The actual open minded right-wingers end up being more left-leaning once they realize the failures of right-wing ideology.
This argument is bunk, being too selfish and self centered to care what happens to girls like this is not a redeeming quality.
“Go out there and meet some people.”
I have, thanks. Conservatives are a scourge on this country. Small-minded, bigoted people.
Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.
Then they should stop voting for racist assholes.
Do we need to send in the national guard to integrate our playgrounds now? How do people see the concept of friendship as a threat to their way of life? That's your fellow American and a human being, not your enemy.
They started by slaughtering a whole race, then enslaving another.
They can’t back down now.
Seems like we need explicit notes in history class for which things are being taught in order to try and prevent them from continuing or happening again. These "mama bears" obviously missed the point.
