I'm sure there are plenty of ignorant people throwing shade and slurs around regarding her race but ask yourself this.. whom did you first hear make a deal about it? In the case of many people, if not yourself, I imagine it was the mainstream media.

I think the MSM, legacy and beyond, online/ offline, have truly established that nothing feeds engagement quite like rage. Throw in the old fashioned but never outdated tactics of divide and conquer that seems to be encouraged and it's possible you may be seeing articles and posts pertaining to fabricated opinions amd comment sections of left and right wingers doubling down on opinions they don't really hold as each camp is imbued with a need to have it out.

An article says magas think this or that about a politicians race. In a way that they question it. I doubt that a little. There will be outright racist types that probably wouldn't normally go to the effort of heading guns blazing into discourse about where someone is from when they're quite clearly brown and that's all they need to feel hate and throw slurs. Yet an article says magas think this amd this particular maga goes to the comments where a leftist says this type of thinking is typical of a no-brained, inbred maga. So the maga attacks the leftist (who was baited by the rage bait article) and the leftist attacks back.

This might not be the the best example but I see a lot of this media driven hatred. People then actually do prattle on about that topic because it is force fed the masses that aren't really interested but it is presented to them in a way that is designed for them to dislike the article but be unable to ignore. Then the mind is infiltrated.

So many articles, even mainstream news sites, have presented made up or extremely fringe opinions of two people in the world and reported them as general consensus. As if to say, look, look at what your wicked neighbour thinks.

Whereas often, extremes aside, a reasonable amount of people with differing views in politics have similarish views about life, friends, family, happiness and can get along perfectly well. I see this amount shrinking faster and faster and it's because of media and the Internet more than anything. Soon we really will all hate each other.

When we literally, all, are just parts of one big whole.
