    You consider the Democratic party to be racist? How so? I mean, you said they’re in the closet about it, but still, I just don’t see it. They’re corrupt as fuck, yeah, but racist?

      remember when they were all in favour of BLM and defund the police but all they didnwas raise police budgets?

      or completely ignore and promote systemic racism sonthe US schools are now more segregated than during Jim Crow?

      They are there to basically do nothing and protect the status quo that conservatives are creating.

      lets not forget how much they care when a white nation is invaded, but when a brown nation is invaded and genocided it is time to supply weapons to facilitate that genocide?

      Or when they cried about how cruel Trump was for putting children in concentration camps, but even Biden won, he continued the program because fuck brown children?

      yhea, Democrats are purely performative closeted conservatives. while republicans are openly conservatives.

      I dont think they are like the rural lynch mob level of racist, but more like the classmate that makes racist “jokes” then be like “it’s just a joke, man” type of racist.

      I can say I’ve not seen a single political party try to do anything about the systemic racism and race oppression in this nation, in my life time. 8 years with a black president doesn’t mean anything when the national standard is still to oppress minorities. So no, they aren’t out here calling people slurs, but they certainly aren’t doing anything to improve it and that makes them guilty enough.

      Not OP but I would say the white savior complex is racist and it is less overtly used on the left but it is still used.
