It’s not the color of your skin, it’s how you conduct yourself

It seems that identity politics has been the norm of the left for some time now. They want everyone to fit into these specific categories with a specific type of experience associated with each category. If you’re a white male, you’re assumed to have had X exerpience. A black male, Y experience; and so on and so forth. It’s a persistent theme of the left that the category you fit in defines who you are as a person.

Thing is, nothing could possibly be further from the truth when you get out into the world. Personally, I have many friends and aquaintenances who are white, black, asian, middle eastern, hispanic, gay, straight, etc. I don’t project stereotypes on to any of them or assume they’ve had any specific set of experiences in life. All I see is how they treat other people, how the conduct themselves, and what type of overall person they are.

I can tell you as a straight white male, I am no less likely to avoid the white biker with a leather vest, coveed in swastika tatoos than I am to avoid the black thug with fake gold teeth, baggy clothes, and a limp. Neither of these are conducting themselves in a manner that people I want to associate with tend to behave. And this is where the problem is. The left would call me a racist because of the latter, even if my best friend were a black man.

The way we conduct ourselves and treat people is what defines how others view us. If a person treats others with respect, they are reciprocated that respect. Treating others with respect will trump any statistic or stereotype there is. That is what the left (SJWs is particular) fails to understand. As conservatives, we don’t care about the color of your skin, only the content of your character.

So what’s the solution? It’s pretty basic if you ask me. We start treating people as individuals rather than lump them into a sociological group. But of course, the left will never do that. Division = votes to them.
