I grew up in Mississippi and west Tennessee and worked there until 2013 , it would be hard to say which is more racist white people or black people around me but I can say 99.9 of them were Democrats . I didn’t meet my first confirmed Republican ( openly admit it ) until I was 19 years old and had to go to the mid west to find him . Lol

Growing up in Knoxville my friends and I were not into politics and about the only times I was around black people was when we played a certain high school in football or basketball. After college my first job was in Louisiana in a big petrochemical plant on the Mississippi River. It was quite a diverse work force of close to 1000 of which about half of them were Cajuns (there is a more colorful name for them but when I’ve used it in here before I have had my posts taken down) and about 20% black. I got to be good enough friends with one of the operators who was black that we met socially outside of work, played tennis etc. So it was a pretty open culture there at that time, at least in my experience. But I was still not very aware of things politically speaking.

Yep, great people. My first boss there was a salt of the earth type guy with a very thick Cajun accent. It was a computer group doing process control with its own homegrown operating system written by another Cajun who called himself Super C***ie.

As cringy as what you said may be for some people, I've been equally surprised at the number of white people that I have seen wearing the masks.

Unfortunately, this thing has gotten political instead of being a true health crisis. You can almost do some early polling going into November in places where the mask isn't mandatory to determine who are the Trump voters and who are the Biden supporters. Of course, throw all of that out the window if the masks are made mandatory. But if you walk around or start counting the masked vs the unmasked, you might get some interesting polling info.

I just look at it as who is most susceptible to the virus. The elderly of course. I think I've seen old person not wearing a mask in public. Then its minorities. When this first broke out rappers were telling their fans on instagram that they were immune to the virus, no masks required. You didn't see anyone wearing em. Then BAM they got hit hard here and in Albany. Masks everywhere. Yesterday I noticed a lot without masks, and most were middle aged or older and heavy set.

It’s funny to watch liberasl talk about how all the racist southern Dems went Republican. I know for a fact that’s a lie .

Everyone in my family has been a Republican since they stepped off the boats. We have one democrat, shes been that way since the 50's. The left wants to believe what they can to try and hide the sins of their party fathers and their decades of terrorism, rape, and murder. The easiest way is to just point and say "oh, its them now".

The best example of their wet dream fallacy is this:
Iowa caucusgoer pulls Buttigieg vote after learning he’s gay, video shows

She is exactly like every democrat I've personally known that was White. The straight White democrat male is absolutely a huge enigma though. You have a party that used to basically be for the working blue collar man and oppressing minorities and now its flipped to ignoring the working man and using minorities to consolidate power. Every policy is focused on racial minorities, illegal aliens, non citizens, single mothers, females, gays, trannies, pedophile normalization (Biden), erasing White history, destroying anything White males accomplished, crushing "the patriarchy", etc. Check their website..

If you're a straight White male democrat you have to be the biggest p##sy fart on the planet. You literally have to hate yourself. I have to imagine being a straight White male democrat today is like being in a cannibalistic cult. You want to leave for your own sake but your brain has been turned to mush with all that left wing propaganda flavor-aid that you have learned to accept your fate.

I don't get this. If a store wants you to wear a mask, wear the f##king mask. Up till this weekend I only work one at Costco which requires one. I've gone to a few other places that required them and I wore em. I hate wearing them though. I get PTSD and have flashbacks about finishing ceiling drywall in my garage during the summer in Florida. Its tough but its my burden to bare.

Florida is getting top crisis NY death rates without sitting on top of each other in apartments. No consistent mandates and the government has wasted trillions of dollars by not following guidelines. Meanwhile, overseas things are much better because it hasn't been politicized. (look at what has happened with Italy, for example)

Horrible leadership.

I worked 23 years in Mississippi, if there are hoods there they belong to Democratic families . Some of the most racist people in this country are from Mississippi. White , Black and Democrat.

Racists are to be found in all racial and political groups. No doubt. But the fact is that White concerns about race determine the popularity of the Republican Party in the South. A White person supporting Democrats is perceived in his community as going against his own people, to enable Black control of local, state, and federal positions of power. You can deny it all you want, but that is the way it is.

I live in an all liberal neighbor both white and black , I grew up around all liberals both white and black, I’ve lived in different parts of the country and been in all the different states .. Racism runs in both regardless of skin color . I stand by what I said about Mississippi and Democrats being the most racist . I can give examples that are just ignored , I have a governor that was pictured in blackface and his wife giving out cotton bowls to kids including black kids when they visited the governor’s mansion. I’m not denying anything I just see what’s there .

I'm going to ask a dumb question, because I'm 99% sure I know the answer, but I have to do it just to be certain. But what is the matter with handing kids cotton bolls?

Actually I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with it myself , she could have chosen tobacco leaves to made her point since it is Virginia and it would have been a better look . It was the fact that her husband was just in a blackface scandal and she chose to present the cotton bolls to the kids . None of it bothered me except for the fact that if a Republican had done either they would have to resign from the fall out . It’s just the hypocrisy of it all .

I have noticed prior to the mandate black people weren’t wearing masks very much at all. Zero of the Hispanic guys building in our neighborhood are wearing them and they pile 6-8 guys in vans every morning to drive here. One of the landscaping foremen said he got COVID, wonder how. But Chattanooga PD has said they won’t enforce the mandate because it would be rude to minorities. I guess letting them get sick and die is the more dignified approach.
