Conservative Families More Likely To Be Mixed-Race Than liberal Families

[Unkotare]

All that this poll says is the the number of liberals vs. conservatives from mixed families is about equal.

Nothing to see here.

There wouldn't be, if liberals weren't so fond of trying to portray anyone who disagrees with them as rabid racists.

Shocked? I'm not. liberals are what they are. And in the spirit of not posting OPs that are taunting or baiting, I won't tell you what I think of them. Although I'm sure you can surmise my thoughts.......

Without further ado

Now, let me clarify on that: The difference is statistically insignificant. 10% of liberals hail from mixed race families, and 11% of conservatives. You can't make anything of that difference (though MSNBC would, were the numbers to run in the opposite direction).

So let's take the percentages as equal. (Except, not really.) Does MSNBC care about the facts, or just spouting off ignorantly with some make-'em-up blogger provocation?

Imagine the MSM describing any non-white population as chiefly animated by fear and other insalubrious traits.

Here's how bigotry works: You don't know many (or any) members of a group you have antipathy towards. Because you know nothing about them, you view them as The Other, and, untainted by fact or personal experience, you can imagine them as wholly alien, foreign, and, of course, evil and inhuman.

The left understands this -- they often discuss "Otherizing" a group -- and yet they do not apply this to their own thinking. In their minds, only The Other can be guilty of viewing others as The Other. The left, with all their ignorance, hatred, and stupid crude bigotries, cannot be so guilty.

The left generally exercises their imagination to find new ways of demonizing those who do not like socialism and communism. Every once in a while, their fevered minds come up with some interesting insight into human behavior and psychology (such as the tendency of people to view those unlike them as "The Other").

But because the entire point of this exertion of mind was simply to come up with exciting new ways to demonize one's political opponents, they fail utterly to take the insight seriously and examine their own thinking for defects.

And so they stumble on, crude-minded, without self awareness or self examination, bitter, hateful, and unredeemed.

Understanding the liberal mind isn't difficult. At all. There's not much to them to analyze or to think about.

Let's see......There is no real difference between Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals. Okay, got it. Good talk.

BTW, I'm not so sure that it's all that possible to define a family as "conservative" or "liberal" or whatever. Especially nowadays, most families tend to run a good part of the spectrum. Take mine, for instance. I'm conservative, I have a sister who is a raging liberal, another sister who is maybe a little left leaning but pretty much a centerpiece, a teenage brother who is liberalish (but I think it's more youthful naievity), a father who is perpetually confused (I think he just likes to be disagreeable to whomever is in power at the time), and a mother who can't be bothered to pay attention or care about anything political in the slightest.

10% vs. 11%?????

Do you realize that this could have been 10.4% vs 10.6% rounded?

Did it say what the margin of error was? 10% vs. 11% plus or minus 3%?

Richard! Being as the Democrats are the ones accusing the Republicans and TEA partiers of being THE RACISTS it really is a BIG EFFING DEAL!!
