A survey of Dartmouth students published last week found that not only are liberals smug, they are far less tolerant of other viewpoints than Republicans on campus.

Nearly half of Democrats said they'd be uncomfortable with a roommate of a different political persuasion; just 12% of Republicans said that.

Why would liberals feel uncomfortable with a conservative roommate?

You know, unless they are gay, black, Hispanic, trans, Muslim, Jewish,--oh, I think I see their point.

Also from that article:

Yes, liberals are intolerant of attempts to misrepresent the science of climate change.

OMG! That was another typo on my part. I meant 2018. Lmao.

I've heard the stereotype that conservatives don't like most of those, but Jewish? I don't think I've ever heard that.

Either way, it is interesting that liberals are so narrow minded to think that all conservatives are narrow minded.

Mistake or not. Posters have had their chance to reach their own judgements and respond

It's now over as far as the content threads is concerned. Move on.

As more details emerge this story becomes even more sickening. The officer needs to be fired immediately and arrested.

There are a lot of Trump supporters on the far right who are openly antisemitic. Certainly not all of them.

Yes, this is an interesting comment all right.

I read most of the article and I don't recall any mention of Trump being at the scene. Can someone clarify why this article is here in the Trump thread?

I don't think anyone is disputing that there aren't some conservatives who hate every group of people that is possible to hate in the same way nobody is arguing that there aren't some liberals who hate every group of people that is possible to hate. Unless you have a source that supports the idea that there are more antisemitic liberals than conservatives and more violent conservatives than liberals I don't really understand your point.

bahbah re: shooting,

True that. Though I suppose tangentially it can be related to Trump being extremely pro-police. But right, probably best discussed elsewhere. Tragic story though.

Dan,

I posted it directly in response to your post about the stabbing which was relevant how?

The point is that there is a lot of racism and bigotry on the right wing. If you are a black student, you probably don't want to chance rooming with someone who thinks Obama was born in Kenya. If you are a gay student, you might not want to room with someone who will keep telling you that you're going to hell. If you're a trans student, you probably don't want to room with someone who says trans people are going to attack kids in restrooms. If you are a Mexican student, you are probably not going to want to room with someone who says that people from Mexico can't be judges and immigrants from Mexico are mostly rapists.

And, yes, many young conservatives don't believe those things, but who would want to take the chance? Those ideas have been endorsed at the top level of the Republican party, so it's not unfair to assume that some conservatives hold those views.

You should ask this guy the same question:

lol mickey, zero self-awareness in there

Here's a case where the Trump administration is on the scene: DOJ will not press charges against officers that killed Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge last year

C'mon. You can't be serious, can you?

If you check any extremist far-right website, like Breitbart or Stormfront, they're like the 2nd or 3rd most hated demographic, behind (definitely) blacks, and (possibly) pro-choicer's.

I see very little hatred for any of those groups. The world is nowhere near as racist as people like 13 would love it to be.

Jewish people, however, do indeed have some animosity towards them. It's due to their towering success, though. It's simple to figure out, haters gonna hate.

I see very little in the way of actual violence, though.

Actual violence occurs less than Internet hatespew for fairly obvious reasons.

Check any far-right website for confirmation of what I said about certain demographics being detested.

Jews are treated badly online because of this myth of a Jewish media conspiracy. There are, indeed, some prominent Jews in the media. That causes suspicion and observer bias.

Notice how there is a "Jewish media conspiracy" but there is no "Jewish Nobel prize conspiracy", which they have won an astonishing number of times?

It's easy to figure out. It's the same as why no one cares if a Chinese kid gets into Harvard, but if a black kid does we run around fist pumping. Both are minorities and face discrimination, both could be poor, but no one cares about one over the other. In fact, the Chinese kid would face even more discrimination as soon as it was announced.

Chinese people didn't spend hundreds of years in forced servitude after being brought here in chains.

Although the obvious response is "LOL YOU LIVE IN LIBERAL BUBBLE NEW YORK", I can confidently say I can't remember the last time I witnessed any act of discrimination or insult committed against Asian-Americans.

You don't understand anything because you are ignorant. Go look up anti Asian discrimination. Go read about the Chinese exclusion act or the lynching of 17 Chinese in Los Angeles in the late 1800s. Go read about your champion DeBlasio wanting to change the methodology of granting entrance to new York's best high schools through​ test scores.

The majority of acceptance to Stuyvesant high school is a minority! Yay! Woops. Wrong minority. Let's change the rules.

You know not of what you speak. Your heart bleeds for one group and not for another and you wonder why people then turn against you?

Get to googling. People who looked like me weren't allowed in this country until 1965. It never occurred to me to question why. Now I know.

And, make no mistake, I hold no grudges. But please, don't try to sell me victimhood.

It's the year 2017. We're discussing current events, not things that happened 130 years ago.

I see someone didn't sit out the last 48 hours' worth of conservanut news. By the way, in nearly 16,000 posts I doubt I've mentioned DeBlasio's name even 5x, and would have preferred he'd been primary-ed out.

It is amazing how you make an absolute fool of yourself every single time you post. What do you get out of being wrong constantly while getting your head kicked in by a bunch of people who think you're psychologically ill trash?

You addressed absolutely nothing to my point. My point is that there is a story here about history, and the only story told is that white people are evil and blacks suffered from their evilness.

When I read about the vast historical discrimination against Asians in this country I started getting angry. I was angry because I wasn't taught about these injustices and I was angry that people like me were treated in such a blatantly racist way.

Then I realized something. There's a reason why. There is a reason why there is no Chinese version of Jesse Jackson. There is a reason why there is no Italian Al Sharpton.

There's no money in it.

The truth is the united States 75+ years ago was a nasty, dangerous, racist place. Blacks caught the worst end of it, unless you count native Americans. Jews, Asians, Italians, Irish, they all faced awful discrimination. You focus on one and ignore the others. I don't.

Rachel Maddow just all-in on pumping conspiracy theories. Caught her bit on ze dead Russians and was surprised at the level of journalistic bankruptcy. People like einbert, rep_lol, rv life and the gang just eat that tripe up though.

She is no different than Limbaugh, Beck, etc. Just more corporate media mind control over the uneducated and irrational. Crazy world.

It's a crazy world. The only way to fight it is to investigate everything yourself and specifically read the arguments against. Even then, it's hard to get to the truth because of our biases.

It took me a long time to understand things in context of the time it happened, and the forces at work trying to "sell" you a story. Dealing with the leftists on this website made me realize how easy it is to manipulate information.

"Resist" has the right idea. They are just resisting the wrong people.
