No question about it!
If anyone thinks that liberals act like elitists only with respect to white conservatives, they are sadly mistaken.
If you have to be in the presence of liberals in unguarded, private moments, you may be shocked and stunned not only by racist attitudes that they routinely express but also by out-and-out racial epithets the equal of any that you’d hear in a redneck bar anywhere in the South.
They actually appear to think that supporting certain policy positions and legislation gives them an exemption from having to act with basic civility.
At least that has been my experience with libs, which is one reason why I despise them.
Anyone else encounter similar behavior on the left?
Can't say that I do, Scan. But, my social life is in areas where political discussion is strongly discouraged; and I like it that way. I do admire folks who have the fortitude to have liberal friends.
I am in a ‘mixed race’ marriage (my wife is creole). We have noticed over the years that it is only the ‘liberals’ with whom we come in contact who ever mention our differences. The conservatives we know (many of them) have never made even casual mention of it. The libs are always surprised at her very strong right of center politics, they think she must have been brain-washed (somebody actually said that). That is because libs see categories and conservatives see people.
