This completely nails it.  I guess I’m going with being prejudiced isn’t racist.  But I’m being convinced by you assholes.  

I used to sort of intellectually attempt to distinguish between the two, but I don't think there's much difference.  If you other them in any way based on skin color, it's racist.

If you ever want to know how much of the country is racist, just listen to children. They'll gleefully parrot the racist shit their parents say without filter because they haven't learned subtlety yet. Frankly only hearing 1/3 of an elementary school room saying insanely racist shit full chest would be shocking to me. Example: "The problem with basketball is there's too many black people."

Asked directly to respond to a recent report that he had spoken with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia as many as seven times since leaving office in 2021, Trump said he would not “comment on that,” but that it would be a “smart thing” if he did it. “I’m trying to deal with people,” he said. “If I have a relationship with people, that’s a good thing.”

Trump is clashing with John Micklethwait, the editor in chief of Bloomberg, over the economic impact of tariffs. Trump insists that they will encourage companies to move factories back to the United States without raising costs for consumers — which is an argument many economists disagree with. But Trump counters that if you make tariffs “so high, so horrible, so obnoxious,” factories will come right away.

Generally speaking, Trump supporters in attendance said they enjoyed the moment and saw it as a chance to connect with their preferred candidate for president.

“I loved it,” said Jay Bauer, who was in attendance from Montgomery County. “I felt like I was sitting in a room with him. Just him. I could have been here another hour, another two hours. I was just great spending time with the president.”

Bauer’s wife, Janice Bauer, said she expected him to “take more questions,” but her opinion of Trump has not changed.

“I thought he would talk longer,” she said. “However, I still will vote for him. I think he’s a very good candidate … the concert was great.”

Yes. Becuase I'm sure whenever he played football at whatever prep school he attended at any level were playing kids from "bad neighborhoods."

I also doubt he played tight end.  It wasn't really a position until the 50s, and I doubt you would have seen it much at the high school level.  It is also unlikely there were many players lifting weights.  My stepdad played for the Cornhuskers in the early 50s and weightlifting was prohibited for fear of making the players "muscle bound."    

So yeah, all of that is just bullshit he invented on the spot based on what he understand about football today.

I don't really distinguish between the two. The DEI conversation is also appropos. The entire republican party is of the opinion that DEI is bad, and the majority will always feel somewhere inside that minorities that suceed were because of affirmative action, etc. That's a huge percentage of people. If it was a small percentage, major corporations would just ignore them, but they are actively killing off their DEI programs, which itself tells you all you need to know about how widespread this shit is among the American population.

I've spent an obscene amount of time in Tulsa and OKC over the past 15 years.  Everyone I've ever met there has been some of the nicest folks I've met...and it never feels like the fake cordiality in Texas.  I have the same experience in Austin.  But both states are ran by complete assholes for assholes.  I think the disconnect is spending most of my time in the larger cities around college educated people and projecting it onto the entire population.  I can go 30 minutes outside of my neighborhood that went 85% for Biden and be surrounded by Trump caravans. We went out to Enchanted Rock a few weeks ago and my kid had never seen a Trump sign before.  She was like where the fuck did you take me? Is this child abuse?

I would have loved to see a pivot to crypto.  He thinks that losing the dollar as a reserve currency is like losing a war, but he is going to push an alternative because he can make a buck off of it.

Interesting you bring this up.  Maybe the injuns or something else but the love in OK and Austin feel really genuine whereas west Texas is as you describe.  I have no trouble saying over 50% of people in west Texas are racists/sexists.

Because it doesn't matter when you can spin anything into "they're tough on me" or "this guy has never liked me" and make it a grievance. That's all he plays to now. The grievances of men, white women, olds, and younger voters that are assholes.

'He is an avatar for their grievances'.  If anything, being humiliated by an intellectual is only going to make them like him more.

But that’s not who you’re now. My point was, as others have alluded to, is you’re “one of the good ones” so you don’t see the overt racism that someone in a different station of life might experience. Willing to be wrong, but it was just a reaction I had reading the post I was replying to.
