I find your response interesting in how easily you express contradictions.

You praise a man for being kind, and accepting, and being able to overcome prejudices, and then you roll out very biased prejudices of your own.

You don’t seem to have a clear idea of what “leftist” think. You may have been given this false stereotype from hearing ideas from those who strongly oppose “leftists.”

By far, most leftists are very concerned with the opportunities and quality of life of all the people in this country. Yes, some are shocked at the degree of xenophobia and racism that still exists in this country, but very few of them think that everyone who may have a different point of view is a racist. That just what other people want you to think.

There are many “leaders” in this country who have worked hard for decades to widen the divide between hard-working Americans. They lie and exaggerate. They do this to preserve the wealth and power of the few, while getting the middle-class to fight with the poor.

I agree with your attempt to find good and offer kindness towards everyone. I hope you follow your own advice.
