Right. This article discusses how race plays a central role in the opposition to universal health care policies like Obamacare, particularly focusing on how some of the resistance in the South is due to white populations not wanting Black Americans to receive free care: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/univ...


I live in a a rural farm land area, the only time I hear racist remarks of any kind is online, usually towards white cis men.

Just an anecdote, but IMO progressive liberals are some of the most racist people I've encountered.

I have family members who didn't like Obama at all, not one of them would ever comment on color, it was his policies.


As a brown American who has to carry passport the moment I step outside my house and hope that ICE goons give me the opportunity to show it if detained, I am all ears to hear about your experiences with racism toward white cis males.


First, I'm sorry you have to do that, it's not right. You blame your skin color for other problems, conflation.


I am not blaming my skin color on anything. I am blaming ICE for using my skin color to violate my rights.

ICE is literally using skin color to determine who to stop and detain. The last time I checked they had detained more than 200 US Citizens and all of them were POCs. MPD police chief also shared similar incidences even involving his police officers. And there is literally nobody in this administration doing anything to stop it. Even Kavanaugh is on it.

Compared to this, what racism do you face?

Edit: Not sure if you read this but this is a recent story: https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/ice-elderly-hmong-ame.... Do you and your relatives support this? If not, why aren't you protesting for your fellow countrymen rather than playing a victim?
