    Although, I did forget one thing. Democrats and their politicians and their media, are never at fault for anything.
    Nor do they take responsibility for anything.

    Your simple minded partisan hyperbole aside, anyone can be racist. It can be out of ignorance, malice or both, but the thing is, do they regret their racism and try to change or do they stubbornly refuse to accept their racism hurts others. Which party do the racists consistently vote for?

    Any person of any race, religion, nationality, social class, etc etc etc can be a racist.

    Everyone can be racist and pretty much everyone is to some extent. It's subconscious human nature to disfavour anyone we instinctively perceive as different or outsiders and skin colour remains an obvious measure of perceived difference (though far from the only one). The best we can all do is accept, recognise and account for it.

    This is the 3rd historic wave of racism.

    Slavery, the KKK terrorism after Reconstruction ended, and now.

    The country started re-segregating in 1989, this is not exactly new. The new Republican mantra is White Supremacy. Some of the things they say now would have gotten you thrown out of Congress 30 years ago.

    There is a sh*t ton of evidence, all you have to do is look.

    The whole damn system is racist. To be anti-racist you must dedicate yourself to dismantling the entire system.

    Everyone has racist thoughts, but do they recognize them as racist? It is a human urge to categorize and is valuable in our evolution to protect the species...as in all lions are dangerous. Racists, on the other hand, rationalize their bigotry as legitimate.

    I thought so myself. Of course, it does make me wonder, for some of the democrats on here, saying that both parties are racists, or can be, who voted simply no, and not that democrats can be racists as well? because it it's the same ones saying that everyone is racists, then they're either not being completely honest with themselves, and or just hypocritical in general.

    So, if everyone is racist to some extent, weather it be Consciously or subconsciously, then why would THE AMERICAN DEMOCRAT PARTY SUPPOSEDLY ACT AS IF THEY WEREN'T, AND TRY TO SUPPOSEDLY HELP BLACK PEOPLE OUT? I MEAN, IF THEY'RE RACIST ANYWAYS? LOL.

    wouldn't that make them fake, unauthentic, and just liars? lol.

    ya kinda bit yourself in the tail on that one.

    Well, they're American and you're all pretty ignorant and blinkered on this topic. Specifically though, recognising that racism (and discrimination in general) exists in the human psyche is all the more reason to ensure that it doesn't unduly influence pollical policy and society as a whole. Death is a natural part of being human too, but we put all sorts of effort in to trying to prevent (or at least delay) it happening.

    You also seem to be assuming that racism is exclusively about being against black people (which probably says more about you than anything else), which is the most obvious and egregious example in US history, but racism is a general thing and needs to be addressed on that basis.

    I don't see how. Recognising and acknowledging a problem (especially in yourself) and taking active effort to address it seems perfectly honest and legitimate. Pretending the problem doesn't exist (especially in yourself) or isn't even a problem and so allowing it to propagate or even actively promoting it would be much worse.

    Well no, given that I'm not a Democrat (or even American) I'm looking in from the outside. I'm trying to show you that you're one creature with one tail, so when you bite "the other side", you're only really hurting yourself. :cool:

    They should tell it to the Republican fake news media and some of the Republican politicians as well, who've become as adept at playing the victim card as the minorities they despise for doing the same.

    Republicans are White Supremacists now.

    You married the extremists, and got in bed with them.. The innocence routine is like most everything you say, utter crap that even you don't believe.

    He knows that. He has unmitigated hatred toward Democrats. In fact, I guessed who started this thread just from the subject line. It's non-stop constant hatred and the kicker is they are the first people to whine when their feelings get hurt.
