Your experience is in urban areas that are predominantly liberal. You realize that in rural areas people are discriminated against regularly or even killed for being a different color?
In case you need a refresher of an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ahmaud_Arbery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ahmaud_Arbery
- prottog 4y agoI promise you the city I live in now is not accurately described as liberal, and I'm minutes away from rural areas. This state is in fact one of the top 10 most rural states. I'm familiar with the Arbery tragedy. You're extrapolating from this and maybe other high-profile cases to make the argument that there are racists all over the country who are willing to kill. The actual data paints a different picture, with there having been anywhere from five to ten thousand reported hate crimes annually over the past decade or so, with only a few tens of those being murders. Statistically you're about as likely to be killed by a lightning strike as someone murdering you due to your race. Your claim that people are "discriminated against regularly", of course, is too vague for me to counter.
