The meme is funny, but inaccurate. Claiming the problem is with "Right Wingers" is a strawman. The problem is with racist shit, and in no way does it make you a marxist, or even a lefty, to see someone say "blacks aren't capable of leadership or governance" and think that some users have some real issues.

The problem is with racist shit

Yes, but I would argue the larger problem is tribalism. Racism is only one way tribalism manifests itself.

Tribalism is a problem. It's also annoying when you browse reddit's /r/politics and see nothing but neolib bullshit, and see comments about what terrible human beings Trump supporters are. That being said, racism is probably the most off-putting manifestation of it.

Thank you for not being insane.
