Study: Stupid Children Grow Up To Be Racists, Conservatives
I can vouch for this, my conservative church lady female in-laws are literally the most stupid people I hve ever met. And despite being married to scientists, their repressed kids have grown up to be servants and blue collar laborers.

I read this paper, and it's their low level brain function culture to a "T"

Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact

Abstract

Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Repeal the 17th Amendment and the Reapportionment Act of 1929!

Thread: First steps down the road to a return to the Constitutional Republic that we were intended to be.

Restore the Republic.

Thread: The Bill of Rights does NOT include age requirements!

It's a flower, not something to be feared.

IF THOU DOST NOT SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND... IF THOU WARN THE WICKED of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL..." - Ezekiel 33:7-15

"Racism" is a mechanism in which a person justifies that their difference is better then another persons difference. So if that person is actually at a disadvantage when compared to other people then they will be more likely to actively tout their difference as being better. Humans will always find some feature to compare each other by. We are extremely competitive creatures, possibly the most competitive creature on this planet.

I agree. They have to use racism to feel better than someone else, because they've got nothing else in themselves to feel proud of, or they have some other baggage.

IMO, the smarter conservativs on this site aren't the ones pushing a lot of racist content.

Not really. Rightwingtards truly are stupid people. Their greatest recreational pastime is hate. It's actually quite amazing, they're so stupid that they can be trained to hate people exactly like themselves!

It is not racist to disagree with a black man you aren't going to use race to shut conservatives any more. The race card has been done to death, so in other words go fuck you're self probably the only date you can get any way.

I was educated and upon graduation became a flaming liberal. As the years passed I noticed I was leaning a little more to the right. Now that I have reached a mellow 58 years old I find my self a right wing conservative with a leaning towards being a gun toting wacko.

If you read the paper, it's how smart you were as a kid, not what education you got or how smart you were as an adult, that predicts whether or not you'll end up as a racist style, narrow-minded conservative.

Your story doesn't tell us whether you were (1)a whiz kid back in your childhood or (2) whether you're the racist kind of right winger now.

It's pretty simple really.

When you were young you believed in yourself and had respect for others. Then around 20 years ago, you started listening to right wing demagogues like Russ Limbauh et al.

They taught you to hate, and you learned to like hate, it made you feel good. Hate doesn't require tolerance, forgiveness, insight, understanding, thoughtfulness, and friendliness; all those things take energy and now that your getting old, hate is a hell of lot easier to express and the right wing media graciously grants you permission and approval for that hate.

The only thing the right wing media asks from you in return, is your vote for some politician that convinces you that the best thing to vote for, is always something that hurts someone that you've been trained to hate.

Ironically, you have never discovered what you're REALLY voting for, and I really don't have the time here to explain it to you.

Anyway, that's why you have become what you are.

A lot of us were and are like you. When we graduate college, we're still looking at the world "through rose colored glasses". Then we start paying taxes and raising children. We see the money that we would like to leave them, help raise them, or retire on, going to layabouts. We get pissed off and would like to see some of our money staying in our pockets. Hi conservatism.

Liberalism is mental disorder.


Imagine two people doing same task in same room. One of these people is you.You do twice more then other guy, your product better quality every time, if it takes "other"guy 8 hours to complete his goal...it takes you only 6...and next 2 hours you need to help this "slow"guy..you almost don't mind..
Youur and this "guy's" family worked at this room for generations.
So one day you visit your grand father on death bed and he asks you: "how is your work?"
And you answer: "well you know just a job...plus two extra hours of work because of this guy"
The grandpa then tells you this: "deal with it kid...his grandpa was the same way when I worked there and my grandfather had same problem too ".

Would you even bother to think... maybe its not racist if you demand better/faster co worker and refuse to do two extra hours of work.
Or would you continue...? do the same thing for the rest of your life.. because you afraid to feel bad about yourself because that would be racist.

As for racist content...


I'm sorry if I'm pushing it but can it get more racist than this?
