Black Farmer Calls Out Liberal Racism In Powerful Facebook Message

303. You know? It's weird this whole thing about liberal vs conservative areas

and the assumptions that people make about them. I moved from one of the reddest states in this country - seriously, I wish I could divulge which one so people here could understand what I'm talking about. It's one of the worst - to a blue one. I just couldn't wait to get out of the hell hole. Now, it is absolutely so much better here measurably in just about every way. More services, better quality of living even though we haven't changed our standard of living meaningfully. It's just better here. The reason it is so much better is conservative government doesn't reign here. But it's not some oasis where everyone is perfect and nice and racism and sexism doesn't exist and no one is ever mean, like some giant hippie commune. Nor is it the giant hippie commune of latte sipping elite overly PC morons that exist in the minds of Fox news watching right wingers. It's just a lot of imperfect people with the same cultural biases everyone everywhere else has. If you go into a wealthy enclave here, you're more likely to face a bunch of snooty toots just like everywhere else, and they're also more likely to be right wingers, just like everywhere else. The only real difference? Is just better government and less poverty as a result. Red states? Conservative and a hell of a lot of poverty.
