Not all Republicans are racists. Far from it. Identity politics suck.


There are some things (I slant right) we could do a lot better in regards to equality. I'm not for affirmative action, BUT it doesn't take a genius to figure out that minorities and women are discriminated upon in the work place. We need to do a better job acknowledging the discrepancies and show more empathy. That said, I'd rather not put in more regulation if at all possible. Unfortunately, that means we have to police our peers better and hold ourselves accountable? Can we?

Why do I mean by show more empathy? We dont need to be skeptical every African American who feels the law is not always fair. Most law enforcement is good ... but I think everyone can admit there is still prejudice everywhere. Don't tell other law abiding American immigrants to go back home. Don't say there are good people among Neo Nazis and the KKK. I believe in strong borders and the rule of law. However, that doesn't mean we have to treat the people are our Sourthern borders like savages and criminals. That's not America. We are supposed to be the STANDARD. We have to be better.

Ws can disagree on policy. That's what makes America great. However ... whatever we call ourselves nowadays (conservatives, libertarians, right, Republicans, Neo Cons, etc.) ... we need to show more empathy. The liberals have their own issues. They tend to be somewhat irrational and unrealistic. However, they show far more empathy for their fellow Americans in need. That's never a bad thing.
