    Especially since it originated from “Gitwaypundit”

    Yes. Actual slave owners in a completely different time period is totally the same as a completely voluntary interracial relationship now. LOL at your total lack of a historical grasp on reality.

    LOL an you do not know that Thurmond was in congress during the whole civil right movement not during slavery with his very secret black daughter???????????

    Starting in 1954 an going all the way to 2004 as a senator with the facts concerning his secret daughter only coming out after his death,

    Love that the man who fought every civil right bill in congress while in secret supporting his black love child an while being one of the biggest public racist ever to be in congress,

    Suggest you learn some history before challenging anyone else knowledge.

    Even more fun fact: The highest % of the African American vote Obama got was 95% in 2008. That was a whopping 5% more than Al Gore got and a towering 7% more than Michael Dukakis - two of the whitest men ever created (Hilary also got 88%). So, African Americans were already voting Dem in overwhelming numbers no matter what colour the candidate was.

    Of course, Romney & McCain weren't the first white men to run for President and there is no history of white people being enslaved, suffering wide scale & severe discrimination or being subject to widespread voter suppression (though if you read some white posters on PF you might think that). So, hardly a surprise that his vote was slightly higher than the average for Dem candidates.

    If you are looking for an 'identity' related change in voting behaviour you might want to check out Mormons. Their vote spiked from low 60s to high 70s in the 2012 election before returning to low 60s in 2016. of course, that doesn't really fit the narrative, does it?

    So, in addition to getting your facts wrong you deliberately ignored a vital piece of context. Nice work.

    People are sick and tired of being labeled racist when they clearly aren't. This is one of the reasons DJT is now in office: People are sick and tired of the false labels, projections and sheer insults thrown.

    I will finish with a quote I found back in 2016 when Trump got elected.

    You can flip it around and say that Trump have a 7% GAIN from black voters in terms of voting compared to Obama.

    I say we continue and break the conditioning!

    Other then wearing a Klan robe on national TV I do not know what more that Trump could do to prove he is a damn racist.

    That says more about you ---- your paranoia that there are racists lurking everywhere, and your eagerness to throw around the term "racist" ---- than it does about Trump.

    The words "racist" and "racism" used to have meaning and importance. Now they're the left's equivalent of "you're a poopie head" and "I don't like you, nanny nanny boo boo".

    Cry wolf enough times and people will stop paying attention to you. That's the same thing liberals have done by labeling anything and everything "racist". The rest of us just roll our eyes now.

    So true. The left has played the race card to the point of nobody caring anymore.

    Say something actually racist as opposed to say something that the politically motivated Left collectively decide to CLAIM to be racist despite ALL THE WORDS presented in the entire tweet? (to paraphrase) "Go and be effective and then come back and tell us how you did it." Funny that the politically motivated Left focuses ONLY on the word . . . go. Gasp! It's almost as if they have a nefarious agenda!

    Sorry but I was old enough to be aware of all the presidents since Eisenhower an not a one until Trump did I consider any of them to be racist.

    By the way I can still remember being shock when Eisenhower was found out to be lying about the U2 spy plane being a weather monitoring aircraft.

    Now the last I look Trump is up to over ten thousand lies.

    Of course there is a condition call cognitive dissonance that a large percent of Trump supporters are likely to be living under that allow them and even demand of them that they find excuses to support an out and out racist.

    No, a country is not gonna recover that quickly from finding out that 40% of it's population are insecure racists willing to burn things down if they can't get their way.

    I doubt we ever recover from Trump and it may be just as well, we are definitely circling the drain now. I think Trump may have ended any pretense of America as a world superpower anymore. An international joke currently, seems more the case.

    Well, it might take a couple of years of a different president... maybe 2021 was too optimistic, but you have to start somewhere...

    We WILL recover from Trump... we're America, dammit.. While this is worst crisis of leadership we've ever experienced, we've recovered from bad stuff before...

    Partisan rag. It's fake news. They don't give any true details of the sampling rates other then it was a thirteen wave panel. But no true breakdown.

    Actually, it might make sense. When Obama was President, the racists were in a constant state of rage. He didn't have to do anything other than exist. The health care legislation created a lot of right-wing backlash, and somehow this too was melded into a black thing. Everything he did was twisted to be anti-white. So yes, people I knew who were clearly racists [couldn't hide it when Obama got elected] expressed their racist fury every day. Now that they have a con man hugging flags and telling American Congresswomen to go home, his minions are perfectly happy. They are getting the country they want.

    Every day a black man was President, the right wing was going out of their minds.

    One wonders why social scientists bother doing research at all. The Politically Correct always know all the correct answers to every question and that any research contradicting the politically correct answer is, ipso facto, flawed.

    He really didn’t build up blacks as much as he tore down whites.

    I was called a “bitter clinger”.
