Conservatives would be for socialism if not for all those black people
Republicans would be for socialism if not for all those black people
I have stated many times in my conversations with so called American conservatives/Republicans their opposition to any govt. program is based on an imagined wealth transfer from whites (which they see as the productive class) to blacks and minorities (moochers).
One of the charges the so called American conservatives/Republicans like to throw out is that “socialism does not work” and then I point to European countries that would be considered “socialist” where they do seem to make ‘socialism’ work to the so called American conservatives/Republicans and their fall back answer almost all the time to me is that “socialism works in those countries because they are all the same (white people) and it would not work in America with our diversity.”
In other words, every so called American conservatives/Republican I ever confronted on this subject pretty much stated if not for the blacks and minorities socialism could work in America and they would be for it.
I just ran across such a comment by a so called American conservatives/Republican who is saying single payer aka socialism would work if not for all of those blacks and minorities and I wanted to post it here for posterity.

The fact that the single-payer system has never seen the light of day in the United States, and likely won’t ever see the light of day, is due in large part to America’s ever increasing “diversity.”
In most of the places that have a SP system, the people share blood, national, linguistic, cultural and historical bonds that do not exist here. These common bonds make it easier to 1) obtain a consensus on the public good and 2) get people to buy into the taxation required to support SP and other generous benefits.
People are more likely to pay for things when the benefits go to people like themselves, while the reverse is not true. The greater the diversity, the less trust in the community, and the less people are willing to fund things for groups perceived as outsiders.
