Related: About this forumI could be wrong but...
I was listening to Joe Scarborough this morning and he was criticizing the crowd at the Alabama game (because he was being boo'd and hackled) saying that's one of the reasons why Republicans constituents don't care for Liberals, they look down their noses at them and show no respect.
I feel as an AA woman, Im fed up with hearing that B. S. since Republicans have done all they could do to keep our community from voting (let's not forget the gerrymandering). So am I wrong? Help me understand this.

(17,614 posts)had him on the show frequently, called in all the time. Basically sucked up to him completely during the cmpaign.
Joe finally became annoyed when trump wouldn't take his advice. Trump then got into pissing matches with them.
He only turned on trump when trump went full tabloid on he and mica.
He is a complicit in trump as fox news is.

(33,998 posts)Trump types EVER shown us respect?
Treated us with basic human dignity?
At this point I'm pretty quiet at DU because you know what? I don't like having to hold back and be tolerable of the idea that working class white male voters have to be tiptoed around and that their internal prejudices and bias is because The Wealthy Manipulate them.
Fuck that - fucking snowflakes.
It's been 153 years since the Civil War has ended and I'm sick to death of black folks in America having to tip toe around ANYONE.
Fuck that noise!!!!!

Sorry but these types are extremely disrespectful already to POC. My opinion is the last thing they are thinking is they want respect from me. I am pretty sure they could care less.
Maybe he means they want white liberal respect .

(8,709 posts)I think, though painfully slow, some white people are waking to the fact that institutionalized racism is not just the damage they do to PoC but the damage they do to themselves in maintaining the system. They're feeling racism as nearly a high cost to them as it is to us. And no matter how much in the past they've forgiven and compensated themselves for their "loses," some white people are not buying into it and dis their racist brethren.
As an aside, early on in life - having been brought up to be very polite - a friend opened my eyes about just walking down the street and many, many white people simply expecting you to move when we clearly had the right of way. Amazing.
Me.

If he's getting boos from that crowd, he's in way deeper than he thinks.

(15,540 posts)21st Century Republicanism is based on prejudice where ever they can find or source it. Who ever booed Trump the crowd called it correctly and an Alabama Georgia football game is not a magnet for Liberals.

Around our house, we have an even coarser version of "YOU made this bed": "YOU crawled into bed with him. Now he gets to fuck you."

(26,963 posts)rarely show respect to Democrats or Liberals. Worse yet, they want to run our lives in ways we don't want to run theirs.

(45 posts)The "hatred" and negative perception between liberals and conservatives has been around forever, and a war was fought over their opinions on slavery. Liberals perceive conservatives as being backward and uneducated, while Republicans see progressives as arrogant and disrespectful. Conservatives long for the way things were, while Democrats see disasters ahead. I do believe that cultural/social liberalism will always win, it just takes a long time, many lives, and, especially this day and age, lots of dollars.
