Not sure you'll find many true leftists that will tell you CA isn't a racist place. In fact, that's kind of their thing. They *do* believe that very much so.
You're not very smart are you because that is one jackass statement.
I believe the Bay Area and California is one of the most tolerant places in the country...but yes, it has a racist history and racism is still present today.
You literally are agreeing with him.
Not really. But go ahead and believe so.
What's I'm saying is his statement is more a slathering of Trumpian race bating, fascism and white ID politics..using the good old "they". Denying racism in California and the Bay is a dumb and stupid statement. Trying to shift the blame to those saying so is pure Trump. In light of Trump's recent racist attacks, it sure looks like a throw away comment but it's not...it's part of the Trump attack plan. Trump adjacent is the same as Trump.
Here's how fascist playbook works for gaslighting fascist and authoritarians:
A) Distract, deflect, move the goal posts
B) Blame the victim,
shift the blame, play the victim
C) Lie, disinformation, make **** up
D) Divide, sow division and hate
E) Attack, attack, ATTACK
F) Rinse, repeat
