Never heard of a "Christian" parent kicking out their gay son? Never heard a "conservative" call a protester a "libtard" right before rolling coal at them? Never heard of a friendly Southern town doing anything they can to keep out people of the wrong skin color, or to encourage them to leave? Oh. Maybe you should read some history and not rely on your personal anecdata.

Nope. I haven’t seen any of those things personally. Have you? I have personally seen family members disown their parents. Siblings not speak for decades. A friend call another racist and cut off communication not for any racist behavior, but because the friend (who has a multiracial family) didn’t support the same cause. And likewise, maybe you should experience the real world instead of believing sensationalized things you read.

  > Nope. I haven’t seen any of those things personally I didn't ask if you saw those things personally. > And likewise, maybe you should experience the real world instead of believing sensationalized things you read. Do you think the Jim Crow era was "sensationalized"? Do you think that your own personal experience is more representative than documented historical fact?

    Of course he does. He is comically ignorant.

    Jim Crow is slightly different than yelling slurs. I’ve also never lived during a time where it was the law of the land, but that was also not what you were originally referring to.

      Your comment is utterly non sequitur. If you want to reply to what I wrote, I'd be happy to engage.

Then you said: > Your comment is utterly non sequitur. While I like a good non sequitur, I don't like equating heckling protestors with racism, and think it's part of the problem of talking past one another. You jumped from several hypothetical social issues and one broad, non-specific racial issue in one comment to Jim Crow in the next. I'm not denying the existence of profoundly racist people. I am saying I have personally been harmed by people who have jumped to the conclusion that people who don't believe exactly as they do are inherently evil.

        You said: > In fact, I’ve never heard of a conservative kid disowning their parents, family, or friends because of their liberal views. Then when I confronted you with historical examples of conservatives behaving abominably (which you certainly had heard of) you pivoted to your own irrelevant personal experience, and you've been dwelling there since. I never equated slurs to Jim Crow. I simply provided several examples, at different scales and degree, of conservative harming people who don't believe (or look) exactly as they do.

        I’m dense, apparently, and have no idea how disowning parents relates to Jim Crow. Back up to OP: he has conservative friends. They’re all cool with each other. I mentioned, in _that_ context, that I have not experienced conservatives causing issues. Then I got hit with, yeah, but Jim Crow. I think my point stands. Be cool with each other. Don’t equate people for things they aren’t involved with.
