I agree, younger people have been so shamed into not being "racist" in the new PC world. They will even ignore reality for the fear of being labeled "racist" or "sexist".

i was referring more to the cliche of not being able to teach an old dog new tricks. in a sense though, you are correct. People who spent their formative years in a time when racism (at least overt racism) was considered socially unacceptable seem less likely to hold positive or defensive "good old days" feelings towards racism than someone who grew up in a time when casual, general, racism was considered normal.
Edit:you have interacted with me enough times by now to know that while i feel pretty strongly about racism personally, i am far from PC. Check the sig bro. that right there is one of the classic defenses of colonialism. Imperial shit bro. not very PC at all. Hell, i think that the U.S. should annex Mexico ffs!

Should we be surprised? There's no liberal or left option for US voters?
Not even a little party that only gets 10%.
I love I can vote Green party. With PR even the minority gets a shout. Shame about the racist imperial madness going on down south.

You're making an assumption that someone who answered a question honestly on blacks being more likely to commit violence is racist, maybe they were in fact correct- blacks in the US are more likely to commit a violent act.
Both Trump and Clinton supporters who answered "yes" on the question doesn't make them racist.

maybe, but i'm not sure how to prove it one way or the other to be quite honest.
lets say we were to go with arrest and conviction rates. if blacks have much higher arrest and conviction rates for violent crime, especially out of proportion with population percentage, some people might say that that is evidence of higher rates of violence among blacks, while others would look at the same numbers and conclude that systemic racism is causing blacks to be targeted more aggressively for prosecution. both cases are plausible to some degree

I'll accept those numbers, and I still think the differences are encouraging. Someone earlier said human beings are pretty fucked up. No argument here. I can't wait till this election is over. You were polite. You called them white liberals. I've listened to 2 years of them being called libtards. My secret wish is for Hillary to last just over 2 years (incapacity; not wishing death on anyone), then her VP takes over (I'm still mixing up the names of the 2 VP candidates) and he is eligible for just under two and a half terms. But I'm guessing people are overemphasizing Hillary's health problems. You reach a certain age you don't heal up real fast, and she's not in a good position to rest up right now, despite Trump looking mainly unelectable. She gets elected she could pull a Reagan and work 6 hours a day.
