However, when I began to get my news from a variety of sources it became obvious that nearly all sources were delivering propaganda, not news. The polarization of America and the world has infected and taken hold of information broadcasts.

One of the biggest problems with today's legacy media is the fact that most outlets, even 'local ones', are owned by a small number of companies. Not long ago, someone pieced together clips from various tv stations around the country, that aired a PSA that was word for word identical. It shows that there is a concerted effort to set the narrative, and give just enough information to guide the message. Any outlet that contradicts it is labeled as 'right wing propaganda'.

I can see why you guys aren't receptive to the MSM since they call most of you racists just because you support Trump but they are wrong.

I really don't know what I am trying to say here, and I know we really disagree on a lot of principles, but most southerners I know would give the shirt off their back to help pretty much anyone regardless of color.

This is great, and I mean that...but it also means that MAYBE it's time to think a little bit harder about the political company you keep. Are you willing to continue to vote for and support a party that KNOWINGLY slanders your entire region like this for political gain?

Look...I'm an atheist and am open about that here. Despite that, and knowing that reality means I have some serious fundamental disagreements with nearly everyone here (regardless of political affiliation) I know that the vast majority of religious people are fantastic. They are my family and friends. And while I may not agree with them on the nature of reality, I sure as shite prefer to be on their side of the fence as opposed to most atheists who I find abhorrent personality wise.

Like many on the left side, hopefully this can be a wake up call that the Woke Supremacists on the left are the biggest problem facing our nation at this point, and it's better to circle the wagons with people you may disagree with often but who share more of the same fundamental values and get rid of them than to continue to argue over smaller points while they destroy the stuff we all love.

We've already had our war. The civil war did exist, despite the left's push to erase it from the history books, and it took time, but the South learned to live together and be colorblind, as King wanted.

The racism you are seeing now, however, is primarily located in the big cities. It's perpetrated by the left. Asian hate is exclusively a liberal big city thing located in NYC and LA alone. Most "hate crimes" are perpetrated by those that the left say "can't be racist".

But, your average (not weirdo leftists) Southerner doesn't treat someone like shite based on skin color. We still say good morning, and hold open doors. We help people when they are in need.

Racism is a leftist narrative that is part of the Democrat strategy to create division to encapsulate power. They MUST HAVE RACISM for their ideology to succeed. So when the racism they keep preaching, doesn't happen. Then they, themselves, perpetuate the myth, in order to keep the flames of hate alive. Ever notice how all of these media pundits, DAILY, write articles or push things that are so mind-numbingly stupid and racist? They live in a bubble. The media, hollywood, and politics are rife with racism. The irony, however, is the platitudes they give, are because of how they, themselves, treat people of different color.

The left = Racism
The left = hate

SO..... if they are wrong on that then they are also probably wrong on damn near everything else because they are agenda driven and not real journalism. And this agenda is your agenda since you are an admitted liberal. So..... now is the time to question that bullshittery and really analyze whats going on.

I made a liberal friend today.

They aren’t racist because they support Trump, they’re racist because half the threads on this board now are just videos of black people acting stupid, and all the comments calling them animals and savages.

Sounds like the OP might be a liberal, not a leftist. There's a huge difference nowadays

Curious, are you a liberal or a Democrat? The two are almost mutually exclusive at this point.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support free markets, free trade, limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.
