When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online. Black gay
Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of
his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night
attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though
Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on
X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked
Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party. “Last night in Phoenix, I
was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or
blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They
shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I
never back down. Ever.”
Conservative means “control the rate of change”. In the context of the USA they are conserving the rate of change from a White Supremacist slaver society to society with the shocking idea of black people are people and black lives matter.
It is somewhat about money.
But this post is about the racism and homophobic character that lies at the feet of the Xian white US nationalists core values.
Second of all, you should really read up on the relationship between racism (and patriarchal heteronormativity) and capitalism (hint: they created ways to dehumanise others to justify the pillaging and hoarding of resources. Racism feeds capitalism).
The idea that they aren’t inextricably intertwined, and that money isn’t used to manipulate marginalised people in to acting against their own interests, is absurd and wilfully ignorant, at best.
The idea that money has nothing to do with force is beyond ridiculous.
You will never end racism unless you also abolish capitalism (and vice versa - fighting only capitalism but not racism is just white supremacy).
Nah man.

And that ain’t money. That is about force.
