My dad and I were having a conversation once and we got onto the topic of social justice and political correctness.

I basically told him how I believe individuals should be responsible for their actions and the blame shouldn't be placed anywhere else, i.e, a black kid gets shot after robbing a store and his family blame the cop who shot him instead of admitting that their son did wrong.

Yeah, I understand it's hard to accept that your child had to die, but also understand that he had a gun and would have probably killed someone else if he had to, and the cop was only doing his job. Had he not shot and killed your son, he would have been risking his own life and the lives of others. Detach yourself from emotion for a moment and realize your kid was unfortunately the bad guy in this situation and he paid for his actions.

Anyhow, after saying this, my father went on to say "wait, are you a conservative? Because that's incredibly conservative to say."

???

How is that a conservative thing to say?

I'm not burning down an abortion clinic or mocking democrats, I'm stating a fact.

Is that really a conservative thing?
