To all the people unnecessarily hating. I never ONCE said I hated republicans OR couldn’t co-exist with them. I’m talking about my OWN personal experience with my maga roommate who consistently makes me feel like shit in an environment that should feel like home. It would be nice if I had a liberal roommate. There’s literally NOTHING else to it.
It’s 2025 babe. Your political views says alot about who you are as a person and your morals. So, no I don’t want to sleep in the same room or associate myself with someone who stands for what ICE & trump has done to our country. You think I want to be in the same ROOM as a person who wants my hard working family to go back to their country??? YES it should matter.
I’m not trying to argue or defend any harm toward possibly your family or any family affected I’d never want that. I just don’t think political views should define a whole person. We all come from different experiences, and that shapes how we see things. It doesn’t mean there’s hate in everyone’s heart just because they support a different side. Democrats and republicans should both be able to have conversations with each other that don’t end in arguments due to diff opinions!!
WRONG. LEGAL immigrants with ONE unpaid traffic ticket are getting sent back to their country. 80 year old LEGAL bussiness owners are being slammed to the ground by ice and sent back to their country, you can detain AND racially profile ANYONE LEGAL based upon accent and color of skin. Ice held hostage a AUTISTIC CHILD to get an her immigrant father out the house and sent back to the country, Ice dragged NAKED immigrant CHILDREN into a U-Haul truck in Chicago just a FEW DAYS AGO. WHAT R U SAYING
you wanna play this side? how about the countless illegal pieces of trash killing r@ping children and women? multiple time offenders being put back on the street by liberal judges to spite the president so they can do more harm? our beautiful cities spending tens of millions of dollars on them instead of their own people? if you want to look out for illegal immigrants and support their violence why don't you go back to whatever country you came from so you can be with them.
I think there’s a vast difference between being republican and being maga, and I should’ve specified that. But regardless in 2025, whether we like it or not, your political views DO define you because they often reflect the values and beliefs you choose to stand behind. The world’s become so divided that politics isn’t just about policy anymore…. it’s tied to identity, morals, and how people treat others. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the reality we’re living in.
Ya cause the people i'm talking about are the italians and the irish that came here and built this beautiful country get a grip. the millions of scum from islam countries are the root problem in this country. america was built on immigrants you are correct but if you think these islamic jihadists that come into the country by the millions are the same as those of the past your living in a fantasy land 😭😭😭
I agree there’s a difference between being Republican and being MAGA. And while politics today does reflect a lot about someone’s values, I think as long as we’re being respectful (like u and I are now) conversations like this can and should happen without turning into arguments. You’re not obligated to like me, but it’s important we can talk about this stuff without hostility. 🩷🩷 much love to you and good luck with some of these comments:)
How are you going to acknowledge that there’s a difference between being republican and MAGA and then just turn around and start over generalizing again? There’s a gross lack of morality from certain people on both sides rn. We live in a country with a bipartisan government. We get to pick one or the other, or vote independent and not get anywhere. There are also people of good morality and people who are completely ignorant of others on both sides. Take the time to talk to people and learn
I agree there’s ignorance on both sides but the hate is NOT equal. Liberals are often reacting to people who oppose basic freedoms and rights, like gay marriage, racial equality, and immigrants simply being here. Republicans ANDD maga are often opposing those. There’s a big difference between hating someone’s identity and pushing back against those trying to take others rights away. Acknowledging that difference isn’t overgeneralizing. It’s being honest about where the real harm comes from.
I get what you’re saying, but let’s be honest….. The majority of conservatives OPENLY support or defend policies that harm LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and people of color. If you align yourself with a movement that normalizes that kind of discrimination, how does that not make you part of it, even indirectly? Silence or neutrality in the face of oppression still sides with the oppressor. DUMBASSBITCH
It’s not about wanting less diversity, it’s about avoiding constant political tension in a place that should feel like home. If only you knew how much my roomate loved talking about ice and trump. Mind u I’m Latina. Liberals and conservatives can coexist, but being roommates means sharing space and values daily, and that mix often leads to unnecessary conflict
Good for you, but not all roommate experiences are similar dumbass. Imagine sharing a room with a political science major obsessed with Trump and ICE. WHOLE TIME SHE KNOWS MY PARENTS ARE IMMIGRANTS. That’s not “diversity,” that’s discomfort and constant tension. Some differences are fine, but living with someone who praises the very systems that target people like me isn’t something I should have to “understand.”
Ok I understand wanting to be comfortable but by making political party an actual criteria for roommates is akin to the practice of steering in real estate where one is illegally persuaded to move to a neighborhood of “similar people”. I just don’t see how this would be called anything other than political segregation. Like at that point why not have a left wing and a right wing to every dorm?
Well you fucking donut hole, you obviously didn’t read all the posts where op talked about just by being part of one party or another, you can be lumped in with the extremists just for voting . All I’m saying is that y’all are basically saying you stand for certain principles until they affect your own life and then all the sudden they don’t apply. It’s no different from a Christian nationalist saying love thy neighbor but deport all immigrants. Either you believe what your saying or you don’t
Placing yourself an environment with no opposing views is literally the definition of an echo chamber, even if your intention isn’t to create one that’s what you’ve effectively created. Furthermore, saying that a republican can’t dorm with you is specifically and directly a form of discrimination. If you can’t see that try switching schools because the one you’re at isn’t working for you.
I don’t agree with everything OP is saying, but I agree with the fundamental part of their message: that everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home. You’re trying to argue otherwise because it would be “discrimination” to not want to live with someone who is likely to be prejudiced against you? That’s such a morally wrong take that I don’t even know where to begin. You’re attempting to use “progressive” logic against progressives when it just makes you look like an idiot.
You’re being completely ignorant and honestly cruel. If I’m not comfortable living with someone who constantly speaks against everything I stand for, what exactly do you expect me to do? I never said I can’t coexist with Republicans. I said I can’t live with one who’s made horrible, personal comments toward me. This isn’t about politics anymore, it’s about basic empathy and respect. So fuck you
I think it would be great if you had Vito power over your roommate and after a month of living with such a terrible person, you could say I need a new roommate and get a new roommate. That would be great. But to right off the rip say that a criteria for who you’re going to live with is that they cannot be republican is absolutely fucked up.
so with that mindset, since i’m black and tall asf and that’s a part of me, am i good at basketball? no because, i chose to steer away from playing most sports as a kid. i don’t have any issue with lgbtq, or other races, and im not explaining my take on immigrants because most of the time no one understands me, but realistically also democrats in history were the ones who were rasict actually, and i wouldn’t say that makes it a part of you cause that just doesn’t make sense.
Comparing stereotypes to political injustices oversimplifies systemic oppression. Stereotypes are beliefs, while political injustices are policies that harm certain groups. Although democratic beliefs were different in the past, in the 25th century we can look at current statistics… many conservative policies today negatively affect marginalized communities. Political ideologies are WAY complex. TERRIBLE comparison you provided but good try
alright well let’s start with the fact that it’s the 21st century, idk where that came from, but you are still saying the same thing, you are saying ALL conservatives believe these things or do these things. the word ALL is a stereotype in itself i promise you. and while yes i agree some things republicans do, do hurt smaller communities, not all of us agree with it.
Mb, little slip LMFAOOO, I’m not saying all conservatives are like this. BUT if you’re in that party and stay quiet while racial injustices run wild—or even if you don’t stay quiet, just associating with those people—you’ve logically picked a side. Hang out with a shit talker long enough? Science proves you might just become one too.
i speak out about all my opinions, and because i’m not so far right that i’m fucking stupid, but because of my beliefs doesn’t mean i’m rasict, homophobic, or going to be. you’re right tho, people that don’t speak out about their beliefs are endorsing it, but it doesn’t mean they themselves are
What’s so crazy was I was just explaining my situation and you took it the complete wrong way dumbass, I wasn’t saying your living situation isn’t uncomfortable dumbass, this is the first semester where I’ve had good living situations dumbass, so next time just because you have a shitty situation doesn’t mean you can just call someone a dumbass, this is why people can’t have civil conversations if they have different beliefs for dumbasses like you.
So majority of your posts have been about being against racism, yet this image you posted goes against every single point you’ve attempted to make in this comment section. You’re either against racism or you’re not, and this post makes you just as bad as anyone else. You can’t play both sides because now you just look dumb. But I’m ready for you to reply and cuss me out like you do everyone else because that’s the only way you can debate!!! ❤️
Well, I’m not trying to be overly ‘woke,’ but you really need to study the term racism and how it’s properly used. Historically, white people were the ones who suppressed, enslaved, raped, and killed us for centuries. If you actually research racism, you’ll learn that it requires both prejudice and the ability to enforce it through institutions…. Something marginalized groups typically do not have.
No you just described systemic racism. There is such a thing as interpersonal racism. You are being racist, just not institutionally or systematically racist. Find some actual morals and stop nitpicking data points to suit your argument. Take a look at the big picture. You really need to have a chat with yourself on what you believe and not bend those beliefs when it’s convenient for you
I understand there’s interpersonal racism, but what I’m talking about is the proper definition of racism in a historical and systemic sense. Individual prejudice exists, but racism as a SOCIAL system requires power to enforce it, which marginalized groups typically don’t have. This isn’t bending beliefs, it’s just understanding terms correctly. You might want to look at the distinction before mislabeling my point.
Especially in the situation I was in, I was called a monkey by a white person. I responded by pointing out that genetically, they actually share more similar features with monkeys than Black people do. So once again, I was not being racist—I was addressing an insult, not expressing prejudice or enforcing any kind of systemic oppression
I never once said white people oppress others TRADITIONALLY, I said they did that HISTORICALLY… And yes, if I was called a monkey first, I don’t see the problem in responding the same way. I mirrored what they did to me—so why is the focus on me calling them a monkey? Are you even a little bit mad at them for starting it?
I did look at the distinction, and explained it to you, read it again. You don’t need more than two people to be racist and you don’t need power to be interpersonally racist. You just don’t give a shit when it’s towards demographics other than your own, which is another example of your prejudice. And while black people (in America) may not have even close to the same power as white people with finances, it could be argued that they do have institutions with the power to oppress with media
I get what you’re saying about interpersonal racism, but calling out someone who insulted me isn’t the same as being racist. Prejudice alone isn’t racism—it requires power. Reacting to an attack isn’t ignoring other demographics, and media influence isn’t the same as centuries of systemic oppression backed by laws and institutions
Hell yeah I’m mad at the guy who called you a monkey. But I’m more mad at you for acknowledging the vileness of it and joining in on the problem. Your whole original point about roommates was that you wanted to feel safe and accepted in your living situation. Do you really think you made your point by aiming that insult back at them? Do I really have to tell you that “hate can’t block out hate, only love can do that”?
I understand your point about responding with hate, but the comment they made had nothing to do with my roommate experience, so I didn’t feel the need to respond in that context. In that moment, I was defending myself from a direct racial insult, not trying to address my original point. Feeling safe and accepted doesn’t mean you have to let people demean you without standing up for yourself.
21 hours later is crazy my man, but also you earn respect, you don’t just get it magically, and i did respect you because i do slightly agree i wouldn’t want to room with someone far right or far left because both sides are fucked. you said anyone who considers themselves republican is a bad person, which is false because there are mediums and extremes, and i’m not dumb enough to not realize where the line should be “BITCH🤓”
I did look it up honey. You need to review. And while black on white racism may not have as large of an impact as white on black racism. It is still racism. I will repeat myself one last time before I have to assume you’re just too dense to understand. RACISM IS PREJUDICE BASED ON RACE. You already accepted that what you said was prejudice. And it was clearly aimed at white people, which is a race. Therefore what you said was racist. It’s really not hard to understand.
Call me when you learn that the rich are the oppressors and the poor are the oppressed. That is the reality of today. The dollar vote is all that really matters to anyone in power. None of us were alive for the past few centuries, so don’t spew your generational hatred at me. It is possible to be racist and oppressive towards a white person and if you can’t see that it just shows how deep your hatred goes
I don’t see a reason to go back and forth with you. ESPECIALLY if you’re not a poc. I wasn’t alive during segregation, but my parents and grandparents were, and I’ve grown up in a predominantly white education since I was 3, so racism has been a daily reality for me, even to this day. I highly doubt you can say the same. I don’t harbor hatred toward anyone; I choose love. But don’t expect me to be indifferent toward something that has been my biggest and most persistent battle my entire life.
