Let's not forget that a largely democratic area San Francisco is highly racist. It has passed so many strict laws even a heavy white population has been forced to move (in addition to most blacks). In the largely republican south, the blacks still live in same communities as whites. Yet in largely democratic western California is likely twice as racist as any other location in America.
If you call the Republican Party racist you obviously have no idea what you're talking about or know a thing about history. You are a mindless drone regurgitating what you've been taught.
The Republican Party was founded in opposition of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Look it up and educate yourself.
Please, BLACK MEN WERE INVOLVED IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM DAY ONE. There are tons of loony leftist out there that either don't know their history or want to change it. LBJ's Civil Rights Act was just Eisenhower bill that LBJ stuck his name on. Which the Dumocrats voted against when he was president. All Civil Rights laws have only been passed in spite of Dumocrats not because of them. I am 49 years old and out of the 100's of racist I've met, only 2 voted Republican.

@neokevin3 The Democratic Party of Wallace and David Duke is not the Democratic Party of today. The parties switched places in the 60s when Republicans employed the "southern strategy" and when President Johnson, a Democrat, signed the Civil Rights Act. After that, blacks fled to the Democratic Party and Republicans continued their racism. It's well-known history, go read a book.
@LindsaySmithKS The fatal problem for your thesis is that if you would bother to check the primary source material, here, the actual votes on the various pieces of civil rights legislation, you are going to find that a greater % of Republicans voted in favor and a lesser % of Dems in favor. The movement away from Republican to Democrat otherwise had little to do with race. It began in the era of Great Depression and FDR's New Deal.
@slappymcgroundout Lee Atwater "You start out in 1954 by saying, "Ni****, ni****, ni****." By 1968 you can't say "ni****" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites."
When the man who designed it admitted its racists, it's clear
@LindsaySmithKS, yet another gullible leftist dweeb still passing on the myth that democrat racists left their party and joined up with Republicans in the 1960s. The basic problem with this theory is that Republicans during that time were pushing hard for more civil rights for blacks and the democrats at the time were the only group opposing it. So what exactly was the motivation from racist dems to switch parties? None whatsoever. It's just bullshit lies from leftist racists.
You are delusional then. People bring up the Republican party was started because it wanted to end slavery. They wanted to end slavery because of the balance of power not for morality reasons.
@Serafinos No, but David Duke is. What about Republican and former Dixiecrat despicable, acrimonious, and hypocritical pedophile leader Sen Storm Thurman? How about former Dixiecrat turned Republican Sen Jesse Helms? Look at Pat Robinson's Dixiecrat father whose unambiguous racist galvanizing agenda was broadcasted by his sheepish son. Many modern Republicans are Dixiecrat offspring indoctrinated with their parents inbred bigoted customs. The early Evangelicals were explicitly racist.
@Serafinos David was voted to be Louisiana's gubernatorial candidate. So, someone voted for him.
I agree malevolent bigots are in both parties, but you Republicans are stuck on Democrats and how they're responsible for KKK and slavery and totally excluding Republicans.
You guys are picking and choosing also.
BTW I wasn't talking about the SDA or slavery. I'm referencing the Conservative Christian Right and its founder Jerry Falwell and Pat Robinson. Look at their early racist sermons.
They also forget to mention that during the 1920's the Ku Klux Klan was pretty popular amongst many Republicans in the 1920s. In fact, in 1928 the GOP fired scores of black Republicans from leadership positions in the South and promoted anti-Catholic sentiment in an attempt to win the South, the first Southern Strategy.
I suggest you read the wikipedia (where each article is thoroughly edited by hundreds if not thousands of editors, so don't give me that "liberal bias" bull) articles on Herbert Hoover's Southern Strategy, "Edward Jackson (Indiana Governor)" (who was a Republican governor in the mid 1920s), as well as actually research the 1920's Ku Klux Klan. I would post the links myself but youtube won't let me.
I'll be waiting for your apology about claiming I pulled out the FACTS out of my "lying ass".
Are the Democrats free of racism? Hell f***ing no they aren't, but the Republican Party's history as a "race blind party" is simply not true. Racism has existed in some way in all major American parties since the beginning of this nation. What we need to do now is to stop playing the "race morality superior card" and learn from the mistakes that led to such racism happening in the first place.
For the record I am a registered Independent with libertarian views (in other words somebody who is not a fan of Democrats), so please don't interpret my posts as trying to portray Democrats as almighty bleedingheart minority loving gods (they definitely are not), in fact like I've said previously they are not innocent.
I just like saying the facts as they are. You don't like that: tough shit.
Democrats don't believe in black folks so they create a welfare state because God knows, liberals know what is best for you! Republicans trust in black folks to achieve their hopes & dreams, & to be judged on their accomplishments & "content of their character" (MLK). Vote Republican!
What is painful is the level of ignorance here. This is admitted and decided history. study the southern strategy, look it up on google. then look at the exodus that many southern racist democrats made after the passing of the civil rights of 1964. the democrats are filled with racists..... your republicans are filled with even more. i am white.... most of us are racist...our average racist is a democrat...our hateful racist are repubs and our extreme ones r teaparty
@LordMunchkin You mind if black people stay? We didn't wanna come here but Africa's become so poor and dangerous. Blacks and Native Americans have had pretty good relations, if we got all these white people off our backs we could have a pretty cool country with just us.
@LordMunchkin From one Lord to another I would just like to say that I am of Scottish and French descent and would love to live back there again some day...however many in my family intermarried with Native Americans. The lines are blurred for many.
See my video on youtube where I extensively cover the racist history of the Republican party from 1854 through 2007, including video of top politicians in office today saying racist remarks!
He says that Ronald Regan is "a proponent of state's rights, a code word for opposition to integration and the civil rights movements of the 1960's and 70's"
My thought is: States rights is a code word for individual liberty and a reduction of overbearing governmental tyranny.
Yep, sorry, blacks have to work too. We are no longer slaves, and duh, we have to provide for ourselves.Unless you know some magic I don't , we need jobs too like everyone else.If it weren't for companies being "forced" they would not hire any people of color. Look at some of the tons of racial slurs on You tube . Some of those people are employers that get on here and repeatedly use the "n" word. Do you think they would hire a black person? I think not.
i asked my grandfather his opinion on why blacks left the republican party and he says they started to change from black support to supporting southern bigots,
he also says that democrats dont really do anything for blacks either...the playing field is leveled...
ok then if the democrats of old are no more do you mind explaining to me why there is a democrtic senator currently serving who is a proffessed member of the KKK???
let me tell u something, he'll die soon idk if he is a klansmen today he has no pull in todays politics if u can find any anti civil rights he voted against in this day and age let me know, he;s old news. and he also repented ppl always talk about how this country forgives but then go off on talking otha shit, the old democrat consrvatives are dead and gone into the republican fold
segregationalist,kkk, supporters of the 2 are all in the same boat, jesse helms among others fuck them all.
what about helms we can go all day with this.. this isnt 1959 why was the southern strategy being used in the republican by bush against mccain?
you can go back with all the willie horton , (hell even back to richard nixon and goldwater)ads in the 80's up til now and see the pandering to southerner conservatives
FACE it the republican party has been hijacked by ex democrats
stupid ass americans need to learn that liberalism and conservatism arent parites their ideas
democrats were conservative and yes a switch did happen. its true there may be racist democrats left over just as their was blacks left over in the republican party,
jackie robinson was assaulted and mocked at a republican rally thus making him turn independent
Democrats are liberal in the United States. I know you don't know how things work here, your education system sucks. In order to force segregation and have government enforced racism, liberals would have to be in power because they advocate big government controls, while republicans and conservatives rally for individual freedom and merit. Democrats and liberals oppose individual rights over government.
Liberalism is dangerous. We've seen it's effects in other parts of the world. got to stop.
yeah they are. Democrats are liberal jackasses who want bigger government. That's the definition of a liberal. Jerk. You're a jerk. I'm calling you Jerky Mcgee from now on.
call me what you want this is the internet lol, not gonna get mad about it lmao.
theres 3 wings in the democrat party today in the republican party at soome points had progressives they are non existent now or hiding in the term moderate...

LIBERALISM IS A FORCE THAT DISCOURAGES RACISM. REPUBLICANS ARE A FORCE THAT FIGHTS TO ENCOURAGE RACISM. You can deny it, you can hide it but you can't disprove it.
Anyone who says that never studied history. If you go to PBS' website and do a search for the Rise and Fall of Jim Crow, you can see that the Democrats are the racists. The Republicans are the ones who fought slavery and segregation.
And why not? Jim Crow, Segregation, and racist legislation could only be enforced and perpetuated by a big government - which Liberals support and Republicans historically opposed.
Uh.. What? Liberalism started with Woodrow Wilson and with FDR.
FDR appointed clansmans to the supreme court like Hugo black "amicus curiae" to the kkk. Not to mention, Wilson sterilized blacks and feeble minded people. What got us out of the depression was the industrial revolution in contrast to bad economic policies and high tariffs.
Storm Thurmond as a democrat voted against the civil right act of 1957, 1960, and 1964.
Democrats made it illegal to teach a slave how to read and write.
people who supported democrats switch to republicans in the 1960s because the democrats started to support equal rights... the democrats started segregation and they worked to end it...
i think i needed to re word that... its not a democrat or a republican thing.. its a liberal and a conservative thing.. i support liberal way of thinking
it isnt they, if it were they it be the same ppl who staryed segregation...
blacks have been jumping into the D party since FDR, elanor rosevelt was a fighter for black civil rights FDR couldnt do it because he would have not gotten his new deal
This video is democrat propaganda and not supported be easily verifiable history. This video lies misrepresents and omitts contradictary historical evidence.
Total nonsense
The plain truth is that Democrats exploited blacks for profits in the cotton field, to exploiting blacks into government dependency for votes today
Funny -- Those people have Have Hi-Jackacked the liberal left today! It's a sick game of the Liberal left -- Run toward the scene of the crime saying - "there they go -I seen them, They went thataway!"
the republicans began their racist path after the passage of the voting rights act and civil rights act in 1964. See the Southern Strategy. It is naive and ignorant not to see that the Republicans of today, are the party of bigotry.
very true, once hard core conservatives took over the party around that time, they became the big ball of hate that they are now... all those idots clinging to lincoln dont know the history of their own party
@doorwae101 both those acts were blocked in serval sessions by Democratic Senators Al Gore, Sr & Robert Byrd. The Democratic party was founded as the party of jim crow & slavery. Democrats also founded the KKK. Get your facts straight. Ignorance is dangerous.
@BlackRepublican2010 You may want to review how LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES differ. The literal definition of a conservative is " tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions," Merriam Webster. Lets contextually conservative historical stances. That means they preferred maintaining loyalty to Britain, keeping slavery, suppressing the Civil Rights movement, and wanting everlasting Jim Crow. The 1860 Democrats were conservatives, like the south as always been.
@BlackRepublican2010 Don't forget former Dixiecrat leader turned Republican Sen Storm Thurman boycotted the first Act too, then switched parties when the opportunistic scheming Republicans adapted the Dixiecrats "State's Rights" crusade. Then he voted against the 2nd Civil Rights Act.
I'm tired of Republicans clinging to Lincoln. If Abe were alive today, he's be a Dem. Most Democrats pre civil rights turned to the Republican party. Who favored states rights back then, and who favors states rights now? BTW, MLK was a supporter of the far left. Why do you think he was often branded a socialist? Do your reasearch.....
The Confederate constitution was written by democrats,and if you did not already know it protects slavery. Nathan Bedford Forrest was a democrat,and the original klan was comprised of democrats as well.
@nomandolin The modern Republican party is the party where many southern Dixiecrats, the State's Rights Party (which espoused the ideology of Jim Crow), the Republican party is supported by the White Citizen's Council also known as the Conservative Citizen's Council which support the segregation and extermination of all minorities that are not white. I mean I can go on and on but the modern Republican Conservative inherits the conservative sin of racism.
@superbacon321 LOL! The Republican party of today isn't the same party of yesterday. In 1965, the racist left the Democratic party, and went over to the Republican party. This is actua history. I suggest you learn it.
Who are you kidding? Blacks, you all should know better! One of the democrats' goals was to keep you as their slave! The first black in a government position was a republican. No matter what your race, if you are a democrat, you are dumb. The KKK was started by a southern civil war soldier. (the south was the democrats). Now i probably am going to be called racist, but my black adopted sister would beg to differ.
Both sides exploit minorities. Republican love Uncle Toms, who do the dirty work on minorities. Democrats exploit poor minorities by generating corrupt local politicians.
right wing lies, u ppl used to be democrats, did you foget that? do research. conservatives took over the republican party beginning in the 1950's, and many dixiecrats and demcons became republicans thereafter, the KKK were hard core conservatives from the south, the same south and same conservatives running the republican party now...FACTS no generalizations, no fallacy in argument, which u seem to like, no anecdotal evidence...
You People? I was never a Democrat, and the Republicans have never "switched sides". Funny you should mention the KKK ,after all with Robert Byrd and everything... Planned Parenthood was started by a woman who was racist and founder of the "negro project", a project based on wiping out the black race. Planned Parenthood is supported heavily by the democrats.
When Forrest Gump was quoted saying "Stupid is....as Stupid Does" was he personally referring to W, Scarah Failin, Ban Coulter, Flush Dimbaugh, Cheney, Jindal, Rove, Nitt-Witt-Mitt Romney, OR the entire dumb-shit RepubliCON clan?
A SPECIAL thanks to the above hypocritical morons for making the RepubliCON Party nearly extinct!

Yeah, as a black man myself, I was raised to think that the reason my fellow blacks were going nowhere was that someone was trying to keep them down. Then life experience came along and showed me that making something useful of yourself makes others colorblind. As soon as I got to college, I saw the work ethic and determination in all the kids of other races. I soon realized the benefit of not having the luxury of excusing failures with claims of victimhood. That is how I became a conservative.
How are they racist when they elected a bi-racial individual. Are you going to answer with the "he got 95% of the black vote" line. Though nobody cared in 04 when Kerry got 88% of the black vote as opposed to Bush's 11%.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, the half black, no slave blood having afro-appeasement candidate worked out. Does it mean anything to you that history will record that the first black president was half white and all it took to raise him was one poor white woman? The democrats are the racists because they are the ones keeping the devide from healing, by selling BS victimhood and class envy. As a black american myself, I was lucky to see through what I was being sold.
Do you actually read your comments. You are trying to support the claim that Democrats are racist, yet your comment is marked by racial contrast. Why should it matter to you, Mr Non-racist republican, if history records that the first "black" president was bi-racial and raised by a white mother. Also please explain what a devide is.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It matters to me that the democrats and media think that supporting an uncle-tom half black president with no other qualifications makes them soo modern and forward thinking. The ONLY reason Obama was nominated was his race. Democrats are the racists, because they are the one's still obsessed with skin color. The Republicans moved past that a long time ago. Racism will die when we can judge a person based on their actions and thought, and race is not a factor either good or bad.
How was he unqualified. He was a Illinois state Senator for 7 years and a United States Senator for 2 before he began his campaign. You also neglect the fact that the country was/is relatively upset with the current Republican administration, so naturally the less affiliated person would have the upper hand. Also, you contradict yourself when you say "racism will die when we can judge a person based on their actions..." but in that same comment, call Obama the racial slur of "uncle-tom".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, Obama was not a state senator for two years before he started his campaign. He was still in his first term. Have you not paid attention to the fallout from trying to fill the space he left in his first term? I call Obama uncle-tom to point out that the democrats didn't nominate someone they believe to be "authentically black" as they like to put it. "Uncle tom" is their term, not the republican's.
"The United States Senate career of Barack Obama began on January 4, 2005" "On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States." That is 2 years.

True enough, I was looking at the grand total of 143 days worth of not taking a real stand on anything State senatorship he had. What kind of shit-for-brians reject actually thinks that counts as enough experience to be president, but a former mayor and most popular governor in the country isn't?

Lots of people have served 7 years or more in state and local governments. How's about we take into account what they accomplished in that time. After 7 years of representation by the miracle worker Obama, there were more murders in his district last year than in IRAQ! Obama had a blank resume and a list of references he had to distance himself from. Start loading, we may need to take the country back!
Wow you are full of it more murders than Iraq. Apparently Iraqi lives count for nothing then. Furthermore, that district is also represented by a Republican Congressman, so why are you putting the blame squarely on Obama. Also Alaska's murder rate rose each of the 2 whole years that Palin was governor.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Compare Obama's district per-capita murder rate, while he served there, to that of the entire state of Alaska. The point was, your messiah of change has a record of not changing a damn thing.
"Apparently Iraqi lives count for nothing"
You are the ones who don't think liberating the Iraqi's was a worthy cause for volunteer soldiers to risk their lives for, not us.
Nobody was against liberating Iraqi's, what they were against were the lies and the execution of the thing. Also if that is your new claim, why didn't we stop the atrocities in Darfur first. That has been going on for 20+ years now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Because the international intelligence community, including the UN and the previous US administration, didn't tell us that Darfur had the intent and ability to hinder our war against those who attacked us on 9/11. That was however the logical consensus regarding Iraq. Given the 500 tons of Raw nuclear material found (waaaay too much for Iraq's meager nuclear power program) and past evidence of what Saddam did to his OWN people. I'd say Bush and the entire congress really had no other choice.
You just said it was about liberating the people, now it's about WMD'S. Btw the UN never told us that. They even did their own investigations which didn't find any thing.
UN weapons inspectors worked in Iraq from November 27, 2002 until March 18, 2003. During that time, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations Monitoring, Verification, and Inspections Commission (UNMOVIC) conducted more than 900 inspections at more than 500 sites. The inspectors did not find that Iraq possessed chemical or biological weapons or that it had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program.
"Uncle Tom" comes from a novel written by an abolitionist, and not from Democrats. Calling someone an uncle-tom is racism, so you sir are a racist. Typical modern hypocritical Republican.
Well judging by this line "Yeah, as a black man myself" you say you are black. BTW what does that matter, are you actually trying to proclaim that black people can't be racist. Again, typical modern hypocritical Republican.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How can I be racially prejudiced against a man of my same race retard? If I said "All niggas are dumb." I would be insulting myself.
It is your side that teaches minorities to blame everything on white people, not the republicans. Other minorities are the ONLY ones I have ever heard act with racial prejudice toward me, never a white person.
Typical idiot liberal democrat, accusing the other side of what they themselves are guilty of.
Look up what a racist is moron. It's putting yourself above someone else based on race. Here is a quote of yours from a previous post where you exemplify your racism. "Yeah, the half black, no slave blood having afro-appeasement candidate worked out." You are a racist because you state Obama is somehow lower, being only half black, and not having "slave blood". Typical moronic hypocritical Republican, not understanding his own hypocrisy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, I am pointing out how the democrat party clings to this President's race issues. Obama was not qualified to be president, period. The fact that he got because of his race, not regardless of it, means that the democrats are still hung up on skin color. This will end the day the democrats put up a candidate and their race, and or gender, is not an issue at all. Anybody call the democrats racist when they trashed the honorable Clarence Thomas?
So it doesn't matter that the Republican administration before this election had the lowest approval rating ever. BTW Clarence Thomas is one of those "fellow blacks..." who thinks they "were going nowhere..." because "someone was trying to keep them down." He used his race to cry about not getting confirmed even though the thing that was stopping him wasn't racial.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oooh, so it's only racist to point out the shortcomings in the policy of a black guy if he's a liberal. OK, thanks for clearing that up. Did you bother giving any thought as to why Bush's low approval numbers were still better than the Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid Congress's? Probably not.
WTF are you talking about. I said Clarence Thomas cried racism when his "short coming" was a sexual harassment charge which has nothing to do with race. Did you give any thought to the fact that that was the approval rating of Congress. Meaning both Republicans and Democrats, and just so you know, Democrats didn't control the Senate until this election. Since '06 the number was tied 49-49 with 2 Independents.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh I see, sexual harrassment charges are only trumpt up when they happen to democrat presidents. Nevermind that pesky little thing called evidence. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut both caucused with the Democrats. Republican majority approval rating low: 23% Pretty bad. Democrat majority low: 9% and that's with the media backing every hypocritical move they make!
WTF are you talking about again. Did I even mention Clinton at all. No. You were the one trying to make Clarence Thomas seem like a victim of racism. Furthermore, Joe Lieberman isn't a Democrat nor is Bernie Sanders, thus the Democrats didn't have the majority. If you don't remember Joe Lieberman was that guy who was parading around with John McCain during the election. Besides that, those 2 wouldn't even matter because you need 60 votes to pass a bill anyways.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There's a big difference between party affilitation and ideology. Lieberman, Sanders, and Mccain are all mildly leftist. Mccain sure as hell is no conservative. I bring up what was considered justified in the Clarence Thomas case to show the hypocricy of those who claim dissent against Obama is racially motivated, not to charge them with racism. Then I would be as bad as they are, get it?
Again, WTF. I didn't say "dissent" from Obama was racist. I said calling him an "uncle tom", or "half black, no slave blood having afro-appeasement candidate" was. Get it?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm talking about the mainstream liberal media here, not you. I don't give a flying fuck about you! The topic of this video is that the republicans are racist. i challenge that with the institutional hypocricy of the left. That's all.
So why did you respond directly to me in your previous comments. On a side note, I think in order to use a word, you have to at least be able to spell it.
I made a typo, you are too blind to see how the left wing of our political system uses minorities and class warfare to further their socialist agenda. Yeah, you're the idiot. The fact that you have nothing but one instance of bad spelling to respond to my claims proves it. Try harder next time.
Because your claim has no substance. If that is the case, then one could easily argue that Republicans only "freed" the slaves to get votes. But of course you wouldn't believe that. Btw, that is bs about it being a typo.
Because your claim has no substance. If that is the case, then one could easily argue that Republicans only "freed" the slaves to get votes. But of course you wouldn't believe that. Btw, "typo".... ..sure.
Ask Obama what he thinks republican president Lincoln's motives were. He's Obama's idol, after all. Besides, freeing the slaves did a hell of a lot more than giving them a vote. Liberal policy that feeds off the black community's ' class envy and institutional victim mentality has so far done absolutely nothing for them.
First off, I double posted moron. Second, "Freeing the slaves did a hell of a lot more than giving them the vote" is an idiotic statement considering the 15th amendment was supposed to give them the vote in the first place. Also, why don't you look up the Nixon's Philadelphia plan and see who "feeds off the black community's class envy and institutional victim mentality."
What I mean is, the lack of a right to vote was the least of problems for a slave!
I'm glad you see the inherent racism necessary to support affirmative action. I note you leave out how Nixon's plan was a merit based system of oversight, while the current status is a QUOTA! Who is it that pushes useless vote baiting like that these days? Oh yeah, the dems!
Yeah, since the GOP abandoned southern blacks just to win an election. Furthermore, Nixon's plan was the same thing. It still gave preferential treatment to minorities based primarily on skin color. Also, were you blind this election. Did you not see the amount of vote baiting done by Republicans because Obama's name sounded different.
I'm sure Olbermann told you the Republicans were attacking his heritage, butin fact they attacked his socialist economic policy, his lack of accomplishments, and his confessed choosing of his religion and church for political expedience in Chicago. Let me be clear though, I have some real issues with the lot calling themselves republican these days. I am conservative, not partisan. Show me a dem with a grasp of what this country was founded on and I would vote for them.
I don't watch Olbermann. I did however hear and read the many racist comments made by people claiming to be Republican and stating that they wouldn't vote for the man because he might be... Muslim!!!! I put one video about that under my favorites. Moreover, if by "what this country was founded on" you mean escape from religious persecution, then doesn't electing a possible Muslim exemplify that notion.
The republicans unfortunately have a small segment of extremists just like the democrats have a majority of socialists. The issue was whether or not Obama was HIDING his true religion or not. Not too mention that one big reason to hide his true faith is his sympathy for our enemies. If you don't think that's a valid question then I've got some property to sell you.
Insinuating that Muslims are America's enemy is ridiculous. Before you were all for "liberating" Iraq. By your logic their population is made up of our "enemies".
Quit putting words in my mouth. I never said all muslims are our enemies. But you can't ignore the fact that our greatest foreign threat uses the muslim religion to justify their actions. Maybe if you bothered listening to a conservative instead of letting the media misrepresent their true position, you would have a better grasp of the argument.
I didn't. This line:"Not too mention that one big reason to hide his true faith is his sympathy for our enemies" says otherwise. You were talking about Obama being Muslim and somehow that would make him sympathetic for our "enemies".
No, If Obama was hiding his religion, the only reason would be that he sympathizes with the extreme views of our muslim enemies. Otherwise he would state his religion proudly. Nothing about what I said insinuates that all muslims are terrorists, you just assume I believe that. Just as you assume conservatives are racist just because they don't support bias in favor of minority status as well as against it.
"...our muslim enemies". That sums it up. It serves no point to include the word Muslim there, yet you do. Terrorists just have extreme views -would have sufficed.

Fool! You used verbal discriptors when describing what i had previously written as well, reread your post. It's a common practice in the english language.
"I'm a black conservative." If I were of the opinion that all conservatives are black, i wouldn't use the extra adjective, would I? If you don't even get the language how are we supposed to have a conversation?
In "I'm a black conservative." You are stating that you are a conservative that is black. Your comment of "our muslim enemies" states that our enemies are muslim, when in fact they aren't.
Also please elaborate on what "verbal discriptors" are.
Our enemies are muslim, and base their hatred of us on their relgion. "Our muslim enemies" is the correct description. Nothing about it says all muslims are our enemies, nor does it say all our enemies are muslim. You just read what you want into what people say because you assume you know them. Somehow you can't hear the utter bullshit of the left when it's right in your face........
Our "enemies" are not just Muslim, moron, unless you are friends with Kim Jong-il and Fidel Castro. Furthermore, I don't "read what I want" into what you "say" (which isn't possible since it isn't possible to read what is being spoken unless it is written) I simply read your idiotic comment. It's clear what "our muslim enemies" means. You're saying that all of our "enemies" are Muslim, when they aren't.
Coming from the moron who doesn't know the difference between written and spoken words. Again, any idiot can decipher that "our muslim enemies" means exactly what is meant. That our "enemies" are Muslim. You are trying to turn your idiotic comment into what you meant to type. In essence you are trying to save face.
there should be no quotas..HOWEVER. White Americans were not hiring blacks who WERE qualified and there was no way to prove that race was the factor. So what would you suggest? Blacks started businesses in the 18 and 1900's that were burnt and the owners killed all over the US so employment by there own wasnt an option...so what do you suggest? I dont like quotas at all but I havent heard of a response that satisfies gainful employment in a fair unbiased marketplace.

That's the same bad logic that lead to the housing crisis ChristiansMustLearn! They see an instance of profiling, and instead of oversight, they go with regulation. In both cases, home loans and overall employment, all it would take is colorblindness in the application process, and a little governement oversight. If there are significant numbers of qualified people denied in a common demographic, then investigate. What we got was a mandate, built on political gain instead logical numbers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so you advocate stricter oversight for existing laws minus new regulations? Do you have an insntacnce wehre there method has been successful? My gut tells me what your saying makes sense but I dont know of a practical applicaion where some new regulation wasnt used/needed to shore up existing laws.

Do I have an example? Yeah, every successful free market entity that does what it feels is best for business instead of what some beaurocrat thinks will get more votes. A better question is: When has the government EVER proven better than the freemarket at anything? Education? please. Healthcare? Medicare and Medicaid are horrible. Retirement plans? Social Security will be bankrupt in a generation. They do help Planned Parenthood put abortion clinics in minority communities though!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I merely advocate that it is not the role of the government to run things in the private sector, as the foundres intended. The government, more and more, is overstepping that bound. For example: Gas guzzling SUV's were selling like hotcakes, Obama is having to propose tax incentives to buy hybrids. If people bought into the global warming hoax, selling hybrids shouldn't be a problem.
Let's not forget that a largely democratic area San Francisco is highly racist. It has passed so many strict laws even a heavy white population has been forced to move (in addition to most blacks). In the largely republican south, the blacks still live in same communities as whites. Yet in largely democratic western California is likely twice as racist as any other location in America.

After that, blacks fled to the Democratic Party and Republicans continued their racism. It's well-known history, go read a book.

@LindsaySmithKS The fatal problem for your thesis is that if you would bother to check the primary source material, here, the actual votes on the various pieces of civil rights legislation, you are going to find that a greater % of Republicans voted in favor and a lesser % of Dems in favor. The movement away from Republican to Democrat otherwise had little to do with race. It began in the era of Great Depression and FDR's New Deal.

Yeah, as a black man myself, I was raised to think that the reason my fellow blacks were going nowhere was that someone was trying to keep them down. Then life experience came along and showed me that making something useful of yourself makes others colorblind. As soon as I got to college, I saw the work ethic and determination in all the kids of other races. I soon realized the benefit of not having the luxury of excusing failures with claims of victimhood. That is how I became a conservative.

Democratic Party is far more racist, both historically and currently, even with Barack Obama as the head.

How are they racist when they elected a bi-racial individual. Are you going to answer with the "he got 95% of the black vote" line. Though nobody cared in 04 when Kerry got 88% of the black vote as opposed to Bush's 11%.

Yeah, the half black, no slave blood having afro-appeasement candidate worked out. Does it mean anything to you that history will record that the first black president was half white and all it took to raise him was one poor white woman? The democrats are the racists because they are the ones keeping the devide from healing, by selling BS victimhood and class envy. As a black american myself, I was lucky to see through what I was being sold.
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
Do you actually read your comments. You are trying to support the claim that Democrats are racist, yet your comment is marked by racial contrast. Why should it matter to you, Mr Non-racist republican, if history records that the first "black" president was bi-racial and raised by a white mother. Also please explain what a devide is.

It matters to me that the democrats and media think that supporting an uncle-tom half black president with no other qualifications makes them soo modern and forward thinking. The ONLY reason Obama was nominated was his race. Democrats are the racists, because they are the one's still obsessed with skin color. The Republicans moved past that a long time ago. Racism will die when we can judge a person based on their actions and thought, and race is not a factor either good or bad.
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
How was he unqualified. He was a Illinois state Senator for 7 years and a United States Senator for 2 before he began his campaign. You also neglect the fact that the country was/is relatively upset with the current Republican administration, so naturally the less affiliated person would have the upper hand. Also, you contradict yourself when you say "racism will die when we can judge a person based on their actions..." but in that same comment, call Obama the racial slur of "uncle-tom".

No, Obama was not a state senator for two years before he started his campaign. He was still in his first term. Have you not paid attention to the fallout from trying to fill the space he left in his first term? I call Obama uncle-tom to point out that the democrats didn't nominate someone they believe to be "authentically black" as they like to put it. "Uncle tom" is their term, not the republican's.

"The United States Senate career of Barack Obama began on January 4, 2005" "On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States." That is 2 years.

True enough, I was looking at the grand total of 143 days worth of not taking a real stand on anything State senatorship he had. What kind of shit-for-brians reject actually thinks that counts as enough experience to be president, but a former mayor and most popular governor in the country isn't?

I never said anybody didn't have enough experience, that was you. And I guess 7 years as an Illinois Senator counts for nothing.

Lots of people have served 7 years or more in state and local governments. How's about we take into account what they accomplished in that time. After 7 years of representation by the miracle worker Obama, there were more murders in his district last year than in IRAQ! Obama had a blank resume and a list of references he had to distance himself from. Start loading, we may need to take the country back!
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
Wow you are full of it more murders than Iraq. Apparently Iraqi lives count for nothing then. Furthermore, that district is also represented by a Republican Congressman, so why are you putting the blame squarely on Obama. Also Alaska's murder rate rose each of the 2 whole years that Palin was governor.

Compare Obama's district per-capita murder rate, while he served there, to that of the entire state of Alaska. The point was, your messiah of change has a record of not changing a damn thing.
"Apparently Iraqi lives count for nothing"
You are the ones who don't think liberating the Iraqi's was a worthy cause for volunteer soldiers to risk their lives for, not us.
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
Nobody was against liberating Iraqi's, what they were against were the lies and the execution of the thing. Also if that is your new claim, why didn't we stop the atrocities in Darfur first. That has been going on for 20+ years now.

Because the international intelligence community, including the UN and the previous US administration, didn't tell us that Darfur had the intent and ability to hinder our war against those who attacked us on 9/11. That was however the logical consensus regarding Iraq. Given the 500 tons of Raw nuclear material found (waaaay too much for Iraq's meager nuclear power program) and past evidence of what Saddam did to his OWN people. I'd say Bush and the entire congress really had no other choice.
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
You just said it was about liberating the people, now it's about WMD'S. Btw the UN never told us that. They even did their own investigations which didn't find any thing.

UN weapons inspectors worked in Iraq from November 27, 2002 until March 18, 2003. During that time, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations Monitoring, Verification, and Inspections Commission (UNMOVIC) conducted more than 900 inspections at more than 500 sites. The inspectors did not find that Iraq possessed chemical or biological weapons or that it had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program.

It is your side that teaches minorities to blame everything on white people, not the republicans. Other minorities are the ONLY ones I have ever heard act with racial prejudice toward me, never a white person.
Typical idiot liberal democrat, accusing the other side of what they themselves are guilty of.

Look up what a racist is moron. It's putting yourself above someone else based on race. Here is a quote of yours from a previous post where you exemplify your racism.

No, I am pointing out how the democrat party clings to this President's race issues. Obama was not qualified to be president, period. The fact that he got because of his race, not regardless of it, means that the democrats are still hung up on skin color. This will end the day the democrats put up a candidate and their race, and or gender, is not an issue at all. Anybody call the democrats racist when they trashed the honorable Clarence Thomas?
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
So it doesn't matter that the Republican administration before this election had the lowest approval rating ever. BTW Clarence Thomas is one of those "fellow blacks..." who thinks they "were going nowhere..." because "someone was trying to keep them down." He used his race to cry about not getting confirmed even though the thing that was stopping him wasn't racial.

Oooh, so it's only racist to point out the shortcomings in the policy of a black guy if he's a liberal. OK, thanks for clearing that up. Did you bother giving any thought as to why Bush's low approval numbers were still better than the Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid Congress's? Probably not.
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
WTF are you talking about. I said Clarence Thomas cried racism when his "short coming" was a sexual harassment charge which has nothing to do with race. Did you give any thought to the fact that that was the approval rating of Congress. Meaning both Republicans and Democrats, and just so you know, Democrats didn't control the Senate until this election. Since '06 the number was tied 49-49 with 2 Independents.

Oh I see, sexual harrassment charges are only trumpt up when they happen to democrat presidents. Nevermind that pesky little thing called evidence. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut both caucused with the Democrats. Republican majority approval rating low: 23% Pretty bad. Democrat majority low: 9% and that's with the media backing every hypocritical move they make!
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
WTF are you talking about again. Did I even mention Clinton at all. No. You were the one trying to make Clarence Thomas seem like a victim of racism. Furthermore, Joe Lieberman isn't a Democrat nor is Bernie Sanders, thus the Democrats didn't have the majority. If you don't remember Joe Lieberman was that guy who was parading around with John McCain during the election. Besides that, those 2 wouldn't even matter because you need 60 votes to pass a bill anyways.

There's a big difference between party affilitation and ideology. Lieberman, Sanders, and Mccain are all mildly leftist. Mccain sure as hell is no conservative. I bring up what was considered justified in the Clarence Thomas case to show the hypocricy of those who claim dissent against Obama is racially motivated, not to charge them with racism. Then I would be as bad as they are, get it?

Again, WTF. I didn't say "dissent" from Obama was racist. I said calling him an "uncle tom", or "half black, no slave blood having afro-appeasement candidate" was. Get it?

Ask Obama what he thinks republican president Lincoln's motives were. He's Obama's idol, after all. Besides, freeing the slaves did a hell of a lot more than giving them a vote. Liberal policy that feeds off the black community's ' class envy and institutional victim mentality has so far done absolutely nothing for them.
Removing past idiotic comments now, huh?
pimpdalyrical 3 years ago
First off, I double posted moron. Second, "Freeing the slaves did a hell of a lot more than giving them the vote" is an idiotic statement considering the 15th amendment was supposed to give them the vote in the first place. Also, why don't you look up the Nixon's Philadelphia plan and see who "feeds off the black community's class envy and institutional victim mentality."

Yeah, since the GOP abandoned southern blacks just to win an election. Furthermore, Nixon's plan was the same thing. It still gave preferential treatment to minorities based primarily on skin color.

I'm sure Olbermann told you the Republicans were attacking his heritage, butin fact they attacked his socialist economic policy, his lack of accomplishments, and his confessed choosing of his religion and church for political expedience in Chicago. Let me be clear though, I have some real issues with the lot calling themselves republican these days. I am conservative, not partisan. Show me a dem with a grasp of what this country was founded on and I would vote for them.

I don't watch Olbermann. I did however hear and read the many racist comments made by people claiming to be Republican and stating that they wouldn't vote for the man because he might be... Muslim!!!! I put one video about that under my favorites. Moreover, if by "what this country was founded on" you mean escape from religious persecution, then doesn't electing a possible Muslim exemplify that notion.

The republicans unfortunately have a small segment of extremists just like the democrats have a majority of socialists. The issue was whether or not Obama was HIDING his true religion or not. Not too mention that one big reason to hide his true faith is his sympathy for our enemies. If you don't think that's a valid question then I've got some property to sell you.

No, If Obama was hiding his religion, the only reason would be that he sympathizes with the extreme views of our muslim enemies. Otherwise he would state his religion proudly. Nothing about what I said insinuates that all muslims are terrorists, you just assume I believe that. Just as you assume conservatives are racist just because they don't support bias in favor of minority status as well as against it.

there should be no quotas..HOWEVER. White Americans were not hiring blacks who WERE qualified and there was no way to prove that race was the factor. So what would you suggest? Blacks started businesses in the 18 and 1900's that were burnt and the owners killed all over the US so employment by there own wasnt an option...so what do you suggest? I dont like quotas at all but I havent heard of a response that satisfies gainful employment in a fair unbiased marketplace.

That's the same bad logic that lead to the housing crisis ChristiansMustLearn! They see an instance of profiling, and instead of oversight, they go with regulation. In both cases, home loans and overall employment, all it would take is colorblindness in the application process, and a little governement oversight. If there are significant numbers of qualified people denied in a common demographic, then investigate. What we got was a mandate, built on political gain instead logical numbers.

I merely advocate that it is not the role of the government to run things in the private sector, as the foundres intended. The government, more and more, is overstepping that bound. For example: Gas guzzling SUV's were selling like hotcakes, Obama is having to propose tax incentives to buy hybrids. If people bought into the global warming hoax, selling hybrids shouldn't be a problem.
