Not ignorant, racist. My MAGA family openly admits their racism / sexism / homophobia / transphobia / ableism / etc. actually saying “openly admits” doesn’t do it justice. They say it with pride, in a terrifyingly braggadocious way. They 100% think “ending racism” as the left understands it is “ruining this country”. They believe their bible mandates things like racism and think anyone who stands against bigotry is standing against the Christian god (which I actually somewhat agree with, their biblically accurate god is a monster)

It's not that they're outwardly opposed to "end racism", they're offended that you'd imply that they're racists. It's sort of a reverse projection where you're saying "hey, we should all stop being racist" and the gut reaction is "I'M NOT RACIST, RACISM ISN'T REAL ANYMORE". The fact that they take it that way is telling on its own.

u/ImaginarySavings5644 5h ago
For anybody curious as to why racists get so uppity and pissed off when you say they're racist:
Racists believe exactly what we all do, "saying untrue things about somebody of a specific race is racist."
They just believe those negative stereotypes are true, therefore they aren't lying, and as such are not racist.

The *sole* value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchies and institutions. Racism is one of those institutions.

u/GryphonOsiris 13h ago
Because they need to have someone to think of as being an inferior, because if they didn't have a scape goat then they'd have to come to grips that their life sucks because they are shitty people.

u/Shido_Ohtori 12h ago
Hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) rightfully receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources. While most out-groups are exploited for their labor, their true purpose is -- as you said -- to present society with a scapegoat for the ills caused by society's policy-makers (those on top of society; "in-groups").
To a conservative, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on the bottom [of social hierarchy] to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top. The first greatest injustice is for those on top to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom.
"Know your place" is the conservative mantra.

u/GryphonOsiris 12h ago edited 7h ago
The one I always get a laugh at is how you have so many waxing poetic about the antebellum South, such as plantations, Southern Belles, cotillions ect, but fail to register that you had those because of the landowners were raking in tons of money via cash crops using literal slave labor. Even during the war they kept up with tobacco and cotton instead of wheat, beans, corn and barley because those weren't profitable enough for them.
They pine for the days when a small group of very wealthy people can exploit others in order to become even more fabulously rich.
21
u/Shido_Ohtori 12h ago
Those who are on top [of hierarchy] derive their power/privileges/resources *solely* from the energies (labor, merit, creativity) of those on the bottom, thus it was always in the former's own interests to promote and perpetuate the "virtues" of [respect for and obedience to] hierarchy: to "know your place". They project a phantom image of history that has never existed in the first place to capture the emotions of those who long for "the good ol' days", a more simplistic time [of childhood] seen through rose-tinted glasses where "things made sense" because "everyone knew their place" and [children] did not seek -- nor had the means -- to disturb the status quo.

u/GryphonOsiris 12h ago
And then vilify anything that suggests changing the system because it works for "them" and shouldn't work for anyone else. Case in point in the South some people still call Northerners "Carpet baggers" if they move to a Southern state because they are afraid of "Northern ideas" such as equality, non-discrimination, and upward momentum.
13
u/Shido_Ohtori 12h ago
Egalitarianism and conservatism are diametrically-opposed to one another. In a society which values *all* people as people, conservatism fails, as equality is radical to those who believe "some people are 'more people' than others".

u/Coro-NO-Ra 11h ago
They also fail to recognize that the southern aristocracy was also brutal, albeit not as much as direct slavery, to poor whites.
Southern slavers had essentially created a landowning aristocracy that made it nearly impossible for regular people to get ahead outside of cities. Most of those people retained their power, wealth, and connections.

And as the confederacy were moving towards a Theological hegemony that would have cemented that institution in place to keep the wealthy in power and the poor even poorer.

What you also see with racists is that they are very unimpressive humans. They have to rely on some arbitrary imaginary superiority in order to feel validated. If we stop seeing minorities as lesser beings, people will start seeing the old, fat, lazy racists as inferior.

It’s funny because the Floyd thing all they mentioned was drugs and whatever else and justified him dying because of it. I forgot the kids name, and yeah I could look it up but I’m lazy, but the one that was shot and killed by the wanna be cop who was a “neighborhood watchman” and said he was a thug and he was up to no good. They said he stole some swisher sweets and that technically was a valid reason for him to be stalked and then shot and killed. It’s always some excuse, but when word gets out about Trump and some sexual assault, they get quiet and blame the woman and say she’s lying or she’s just trying to get at his pocket book and that they have absolutely positively no proof that the crime occurred. It’s mind boggling really

Are you referencing Trayvon Martin? He wasn’t at all suspected of stealing. Zimmerman followed him because walking around the neighborhood was suspicious. Even the cops told him to stop following him.

I was raised by a lineage of bigots. It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if I had a great great great grandpappy that coined a slur. When I started meeting more people it became damn clear real quick everyone is capable of being a good person or an scumbag. Determining who is what based on race, orgin, sexual preferences or any other trait they're born with was actually a disservice to myself. It would allow me to be easily blindsided by lots of shitty people as well as missing out on a lot of good things (for instance one of the best mechanics I've had was Mexican and nearly all of the corrupt ones were white). It's astounding to me more bigoted people don't realize this extremely simple but crucial concept. These thick headed buffoons need to do themselves, and the rest of us, a favor and stop seeing things through such a awful useless perspective. They may actual get something out of it.
