    what do black conservatives think that the vast, vast majority of white conservatives actually want to conserve? because it isn’t fucking equality

      Every conservative thinks that they are the exception, that they are foot that wears the boot.

      White, black, Latino…they all think that they are special. That they’ll be spared.

      But they are all bigoted.

        i guess if you’re gullible enough to think that all you have to do is “work hard” to become a billionaire, then you have the capacity to think you’re a special snowflake too

          Just to clarify: The vast majority of people who talk about the whole “work hard and you’ll become rich” thing, are knowingly lying. They don’t actually believe that, they’re just narcissists who say it because they want everyone else to do all the work. So they lie and make up things like it making you rich, or it being part of the bible or even human nature to “have” to work.

          Money covers a lot of sins. They’ll happily take advantage of your wealth so long as you’re willing to give it to them.

      Edit: Ignore me because I’m a dummy, but I’ll leave my incorrectly US-centric comment up as a learning moment:

      They just want to protect their right to property against the Yankee socialists who say you can’t own people.

          You know, major brain fart on my part. I know the post is about UK politics and I skimmed through other comments talking about UK politics, but for some reason I read that comment and thought “This applies to the US.”

          Sorry, it’s been one of those long days and it’s not even over yet.

      Clarence Thomas apparently said that white liberals were just as racist to him, they just did it in a more sly way. So he joined the side that made him the most money.

      I can’t totally say he’s wrong.
