How the Republican Party Became The Party of Racism

you mean them southern conservatives that now belong to the Republican Party.... you can keep them

southern conservatives are taking the next step now, kicking out real republicans

 

Utter balderdash.

 

Slavery began here long before we became a country. There were no such things as Democrats or Republicans then.

Please crack open a history book or two before posting your partisan horse pucky.

 

That's actually hilarious

 

You actually think nominating (aka, nominalising) a POC proves a lack of racism?

Far out ... no wonder America is in the poop!

 

WERE. Now they're northern Progressives.

 

Sure, sure

 

Nor apparently, for the non-whites who top America's income and education stats.

 

That's what they do! I suggest to not take them seriously.

 

you're not convincing anyone that the ones waving Confederate flags and defending Confederate statues are not southern conservatives

 

Why don't they just bring up Jimmy Carter's father being a racist (he was by the way).

 

Would that be like taking someone who had defrauded his college to get a degree, defrauded his followers by stealing his speeches from others, left his wife at home while he had drunken parties with multiple whores on the road and enjoyed beating hell out of them, and declaring him a hero, then naming roads and parks and holidays after him in his memory? That would seem like a pretty good example of inequality and injustice to most.... but it was indeed the facts of MLK. His own memorial library now admits it.

Systemic racism does exist today- in the black community, and they deny it. While there are many honorable and fine black citizens, there is a disproportionate number of that community who are anything but- and the entire black community pretends that's not so, and blames the consequences such as the number of black people arrested or not given the same treatment as others on "racism", and that is used as an excuse for everything they bring upon themselves. It's time the good people in the black community focused on fixing it's own culture instead of blaming others; it is to a great degree their own people who make their lives more difficult. Turns out the people who most abuse black people- ARE black people:

"Consider that black people in America comprise 13% of the population, thus if conduct was comparable, they would account for 13% of crimes. However-

1. A cop is 4.5 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.
2. A black person is 11 times more likely to be killed by a black person than by a cop.
3. A black person is 11 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person.
4. A white person is over 40 times more likely to be assaulted by a black person than a black person is to be assaulted by a white person.
   
   While black people comprise only 13% of our population, they commit:
   
5. 53% of all murders.
6. 28% of all rapes.
7. 54% of all robberies.
8. 34% of all aggravated assaults.
9. 29% of all burglaries.
10. 30% of all larceny-thefts.
11. 32% of all vehicle thefts.
12. 70% of all arson.

If fact- there is not a single category of crime on FBI UCR table 43 (Uniform crime rates) (201
where the percentage of black offenders was as low as their percentage of population- not one."

Add to that the fact that black slaves from Africa were never captured by white slave traders in the first place; they were captured and sold to white slave traders by the African blacks themselves- and more than 96% of them never came to America. I doubt that a confederate flag nor any of the crap that blacks say offend them is the real cause of their behavioral issues or conditions.

 

Well, so much for Lincoln's "malice toward none."

 

Very well said. I have saved your post.

 

What a load of UNTRUTHS.......makes an honest person what to vomit!!!
The first slaves were brought to the American colonies in 1619. There was no US yet so there was no Democratic Party, or Tepublicacan Party so your statement is one big assed total FAILURE!

False false false false Lincoln signed the Enamcition Proclamation BUT that only ended slavery in the Confederate states. That was a great start but it did NOT NOT NOT NOT " SHUT DOWN " Slavery.

The KKK was founded in 1865 in Tennessee by the CONFEDERATE General athan Bedford Forrest as a White supremacist organization and it became a White Terrorist organization.

Voting rights bill signed Aug 6, 1965 by LBJ a Democratic Party president.

Let us get it right from now on bybreading my words of truth!

 

Didn't happen.

Trump Lost fair and square as certified by Republican and Democratic Secretary of states and Congress

 

Total misleading malarkey. Nobody has said the Democrat started slavery. Just that the Democrat party fought tooth and nail for slavery, Jim Crow, and lynchings. The KKK became the paramilitary arm of the Democrat party. The 13th amendment reads, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, .......". It is true that the Emancipation Proclamation talked about rebellious states, but that was the place where slavery existed. LBJ got his voting rights bill passed only with the help of Republican Sen. Dirksen and over the filibusters of many infamous Democrat Senators (and quipped, "now we got the n****r vote for the next hundred years.")

I'll (b)read your words of truth if I ever see any..

 

Hmmmm . . . something's missing from that minimalist reply . . . ah, yes, you forgot the "nyah nyah nyah!"

 

They didn't actually, they just believe they did.

 

True. And also untrue.

During the election of 1860, the Democratic Party split into what amounted to pro slavery and abolitionist factions and each nominated their own candidates for president. John C. Calhoun by the pro slavery faction and Breckenridge for the anti slavery side IIRC.

 

Melanin has that effect on people.
People tan and get more violent and criminal.

Afterall, according to you, skin tone affects how people behave.

 

BREAKING NEWS:

House Republican caucus votes on whether to strip Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney of her leadership role. Cheney keeps her position in an anonymous ballot of 145 against, to 61 in favor of her removal (for voting in favor of impeaching fmr. President Trump).

This is clearly not, specifically, a post about racism but, not wanting to start a new thread on this, I thought it fit here, as far as it being demonstrative of the compositional distribution of perspectives, within the current House Republican caucus.

 

Nope, but when asked the question " which party is more racist?" things like "Have yet to see them nominate a minority for POTUS plus the fact that they have almost no minority congressmen." are criteria I base my decision on.

 

Got anything recent?

 

Its certainly strong evidence, especially since republicans don't consider minorities to be very competent.
