No one knows what a populist is. The definition keeps changing with the times and the Oxford Dictionary's is what Obama believes is the correct definition.
No it has pretty much stayed the same. George Wallace was a BIG Populist. The title of his definitive biography is "George Wallace: American Populist". He was NOT a Conservative and he certainly was NOT a Republican. He was a blue collar Populist and also a Segregationist. His Populist views were similar to John Edwards but Edwards was not a Segregationist.
No, they were not judging a man by their content. Color was the main factor. Everything has been about color since this country was founded.
Racist Democrats were conservative in their thinking. I already told you what I think. Most of the racist democrats went to the Republican party. What platform did Strom Thurmond run on in 1948? What did he did as? Racist democrats hated the NAACP in the 60s and racist republicans hate th ef NAACP in 2018.
And a Populist segregationist who his last campaign overwhelmingly won the black vote..........go figger.
The problem with this victim mentality among blacks like yourself and Obama is it has become a tool to keep yourselves down and angry. I'm scotch Irish and as white as they come and I've been what you would call "harassed by cops" and if I were you I'm sure I'd have blamed it on being black. When I was in HS I had a job as a janitor cleaning office buildings at night and late one evening as I left one of the accounts through dark alley a cop pulled me over and made me get out of the car and spread eagle as he kept a flash light in my face and a hand on his gun. My car was full of janitorial supplies and it seemed perfectly obvious I was not up to no good but he harassed the **** out of me before letting me drive away. It happens no matter what your color is. Difference between me and this college professor is I cooperated and it was no big deal, five minutes and I was on my way. This dumb ass academic angry black man didn't cooperate and threw a temper tantrum and it escalated from there. Wise up, cooperate and you won't get thrown in jail or worse yet shot.
Wrong again they were Populist in their thinking, and segregationist and fully welcome in the Democrat party. Nope and I'm curious. Nope they stayed in the Democrat party and until they died out. The Dixiecrat and when he lost he went back to the Democrats welcome arms. Right on the first part wrong on the second part and disagreeing with NAACP on political grounds does not make one racist. Being black does no grant your political position any higher standing but saying so is racist.
Please explain what victim mentality is. Yea because the cops have never harrassed blacks folks. Lol, what a bullshit story. Who did you steal that one from, Dr Suess.
They were also conservative in their thinking and racist today identify as Republican. Nothing wrong with being curious. Strom and Jessie died as republicans. Welcomed to be republicans. Right on both parts and who said anything about politics, politics is not the reason why the Right hates the NAACP. That's your asinine take, not mine.
