So faux is arguing that racism is being stoked by liberals

Because....socialism

Evidentally, the working class is upset by capitalism and economic inequities. So....since liberals can't get the workers to rise up, they gotta stoke racial divisions to move toward socialism. ????

Complete nonsense. Socialist workers have historically been a threat to vulture capitalism and deregulation.

In fact, history shows that the wealthy, the corporations, the companies, etc have long divided the working class by race in order to stop picket lines and strikes.

The New Orleans strike comes to mind. The company stores/townships, etc.

The ignorant eat this shit up. Sorry, needed to rant a bit.

Actually THE MOST RACIST EVER. You hear that a lot in their world. It’s a known fact to them now. This is just more of the same projection and misdirect by them. Bonus is that they put the two words together- they love doing that.

and living in 'their house' really made them lose their shit.

RW'ers actually believe 'there was no racism' before Obama.

Trump capitalized on this sentiment with birtherism and rode it into office.

They will always accuse liberals of stoking racism because liberal want to address the idea of systemic racism and to conservatives, talking about something sensitive is engaging in the practice.

The rank and file are just ignorant, but the leadership is cynical and they lie.
