See, Democrats are the ones who assume blacks and minorities are at a disadvantage, and even Young Turks here calls black people who happen to think outside the box and be self-reliant 'Uncle Toms' just like every other Democrat. Democrats ARE the party of racism. They founded the KKK, passed Jim Crowe laws, and nowadays convince people in minorities they have inferior rights and are powerless unless rich white people give them handouts...then call the Republicans 'racist'. Its so backwards.
@dunkelfier You seemed to have forgotten there was a giant party switch up through the civil rights movement. Republicans and Democrats are not the same parties as they once were. The south took a complete U-turn and went Republican. Abraham Lincoln was a liberal Republican... guess what happened to him when he wanted to end slavery? His party turned against him. Ideology =/= political party
@donnyforte2 You seem to be forgetting that Democrats still are the only ones complaining about race, putting in policies such as affirmative action which continue to cause minorities to expect more for less work and therefore overall less intelligent and less able to truly achieve. Democrats are still the racists, just look at their policies.
@donnyforte2 What it does is imply that one race or gender is inferior to another and can't succeed without someone stepping in, only a racist thinks that way.
@dunkelfier "What it does is imply that one race or gender is inferior to another and can't succeed without someone stepping in"
It implies slavery?
Your first response was revisionist history and now you're resorting to petty bs. We protect the rights of the minorities in this country, we don't stomp on them. And you're acting as if affirmative action works in all cases and that it doesn't have limitations of its own. And you're -still- on the idea that this is meant to be maintained forever.
@donnyforte2 My first response was true history, not some made up history like Bowling For Columbine's 'History' of the United States (the one that implied the KKK evolved from the NRA). You're right, Democrats no longer try to openly persecute minorities. Instead, they put them in situations where they are expected to not do as well, and therefore need 'special treatment'. There's nothing petty about being direct in saying the truth: Affirmative Action IS racist.
Nope. It was buckets of misinformation and rhetoric.
"and therefore need 'special treatment'"
You confuse "special treatment" with equality. Not only was it about "race" and gender... it also about religion and national origins. Hell, we still have states that won't allow politicians to serve openly atheist.
@donnyforte2 "Equality" does NOT mean being given extra points or consideration because of skin color. As for states that don't allow for politicians who are atheists to serve....there should not be a law stating that lack of religion can prevent someone from getting elected if they can get enough people to vote for them (I'd vote for an atheist if I agreed with their positions). However, same deal, there should not be some law giving atheists extra points for being the 'minority'.
@dunkelfier There are negatives to affirmative action and through a lack of action. The current sways both ways, I'm not in denial of it.
If this is simply a cry of "They took er jobs!".... well, getting Washington to favor labor (people) over capital would benefit us all. And as long as we have a tax code that benefits the wealthy, a majority will*** stay in poverty/unhealthy environments.
@donnyforte2 That being said, Affirmative Action is, as I understand it, a policy that tries to set racial quotas and depends on percentages of the population and, for the sake of what you call 'fairness' will give a perspective employee special consideration (even if they're not the most qualified) for skin color alone. Tell me where I'm wrong on that, and if I'm not wrong, explain how that is not racist.
@dunkelfier Well, if minorities never had a history of forced slavery and oppression (this also applies to women in general), I'm sure we'd be having a different conversation.
@donnyforte2 Key word being 'history'. All that crap is in the past, and the only group still bitching about racial inequality is the Democrats. The Republicans don't take race or gender into account when it comes to someone's potential (ask Sarah Palin or Condeleeza Rice or Herman Cain). The ONE thing I will blame Republicans on though is sexual orientation, they're the ones making an issue of that and they're wrong for it. But when it comes to racism, the Democrats keep that alive.
I honestly don't care about affirmative action (as of today), but I care about poverty and minorities face the bulk of it. Both the wealthy and Republicans are walking in lock-step, and all in the name of money.
"But when it comes to racism, the Democrats keep that alive"
Are you saying it's always been this way... or that affirmative action has lived out its purpose? B/c aggressive racism existed before and right on through the civil rights movement.
@donnyforte2 Saying affirmative action still has purpose is saying that one race is still inferior, and it's not. Minorities and people living in poverty are two different topics all together, the fact the Democrats are the ones trying to put them together (typically to try to sucker votes from minorities) only further demonstrates they look at race as something to exploit to get elected. That seems pretty racist to me.
@dunkelfier You're not answering my question. Did affirmative action ever serve a purpose in your eyes? If it didn't, we really have nothing else to talk about.
"look at race as something to exploit to get elected"
Just as your party relies on old white bigots to exploit. And it's not like Republicans aren't using the "sanctity of marriage" and other religious bs to attract minorities since religion is so prevalent in poverty. The same religious-bigotry bs that stopped interracial marriage.
@donnyforte2 Affirmative Action did not accomplish anything, it's made things worse. Skin color and ethnicity should NEVER be used to determine social status in a truly equal society. As for 'Sanctity of marriage' crap, I never said Republicans are good. Republicans are guilty of using government to enforce sexual orientation, and they're wrong to do it. But nobody calls the Democrats 'homophobes'. With racism it's the Democrats who are guilty, but everyone thinks Republicans are the racists.
@dunkelfier "Skin color and ethnicity should NEVER be used to determine social status"
Well, sadly, that's exactly what our country DID endorse... from slavery to oppression. It was built on it.
"racism it's the Democrats who are guilty"
Well, you can keep saying that, but you've provided nothing to substantiate the blame entirely... and party affiliation isn't the issue here... it's ideology. Civil Rights became an issue when poverty was at the forefront of the conversation. Not "race" per se.
@donnyforte2 I've gave plenty of examples. First of all, let me ask you this, do you believe that the Republican Party is the party of 'racism' in this country? If you do, explain why? I've provided PLENTY of historical and contemporary facts explaining why I feel that if there is one party of racism in this country it is the Democrats. I don't believe that most Democrats are knowingly racist, but the phrase 'racist Republican' is too common, and about as accurate as 'homophobeic Democrat'.
@dunkelfier Again, this has nothing to do with "party"... it has to do with ideology.
"I've provided PLENTY of historical and contemporary facts"
And I've stated plenty of times that your view in inaccurate. Southern Democrats were the "conservatives" up to the civil rights movement and ideologies switched parties. They've been re-branded.
"the phrase 'racist Republican' is too common"
It's warranted in some respects and "I don't believe that most Republicans are knowingly racist".
@donnyforte2 But you have to admit, out of the two major parties, the Democrats are more guilty of racism than the Republicans. You haven't provided any evidence other than rhetoric of why you think Republicans are racist. I've provided facts, which you probably have not researched, just dismissed as 'nothing'. I've researched what you've said, and the fact remains that Republicans don't complain about race anywhere near as much as Democrats.
@dunkelfier "why you think Republicans are racist"
I'm not the one who's blaming an entire party, you are. And saying a Republican ad is racey isn't the same thing as saying the Republican party is racist. If anything, mainstream Republicans are too sensitive about a social construct of race and make themselves look like idiots in the process.
"Republicans don't complain about race"
They complain about welfare while simultaneously filling the pockets of the wealthy. That's what I care about.
@donnyforte2 Ok, I guess my complaint was that people call Republicans 'racists' frequently, while hardly anyone points out the history of racism in the Democrat Party. Republicans don't fill the pockets of the wealthy, they sit back and let the wealthy keep doing the things that made them wealthy. Working hard and becomming wealthy is not a crime, nor should it be. This country is based on the idea that anyone with enough ambition and determination has the opportunity to succeed.
@dunkelfier "Working hard and becomming wealthy is not a crime"
Greed is why we're in an economic crisis. And a person making 35k a year is paying a bigger % out of his/her paycheck than some multi-millionaire/billionaire. It becomes a crime when so much wealth is transferred, the top 400 individuals in this country have more combined wealth than the bottom 50% of all Americans. Maintaining poverty on top of an educational system lacking funds (budget cuts), it's a crime.
@donnyforte2 The reason we're in an economic crisis is because of the chain reaction due to the collapse of the housing market and all the investments and derivatives people had based on the housing bubble. The reason things got so bad was because of the Community Reinvestment Act, and the government forcing banks to lend money to people regardless of their ability to pay back. It was actually George Bush who tried to stop this in 2004, but the Democrats (Barney Frank) stopped him.
@dunkelfier "because of the Community Reinvestment Act,"
No, you mean the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (of 1999)... drawn up by three Republicans.
"It was actually George Bush who tried to stop this in 2004"
This too is a bunch of bullshit. Republican-conservatives controlled all three sectors of government, including the committee that supposedly "Barney Frank stopped". They did not need Barney Frank to pass the legislation to the floor. It was all for show anyway.. there were no meaningful ideas.
@donnyforte2 It wasn't deregulation that caused the housing market collapse, it was OVER-regulation, with the intent of allowing anyone, regardless of their ability to pay for their mortgage, to take out loans that would be backed by the government. This caused many people to try to make money from skyrocketing housing prices, and when the bubble burst everyone blamed the government, not the people who took advantage of government regulated loans.
@dunkelfier "It wasn't deregulation that caused the housing market collapse"
Both Friedman and Greenspan insured the markets were self-regulating. The subprime market crisis came directly from private sector.. not those "poor people". And none of this ever explain the intensity of mortgage lending. This was a crisis thanks to 30 years of financial deregulation in the making. I'm not separating the Democrats from the same resulting mess, but Republicans kept the scam running primo.
@donnyforte2 Deregulation is not a scam. All the Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill did was repeal part of the Glass-Steagall Act, which among other things allowed the government to limit speculation and prevent any one bank from being an investment and commercial bank at the same time. In any case, who do YOU think should be in charge of regulating banks? Politicians? Politicians would be far more likely to be bought off than anyone working for a bank.
@dunkelfier "Politicians would be far more likely to be bought off than anyone working for a bank."
How do you think deregulation came about? The politicians were bought. I didn't even mention credit default swaps and these are all unregulated securities. And since every deal is private, all hell breaks loose because the bank fuckers are all hand-to-cock with credit default contracts. Let's also remember the SEC was in bed with the Bush administration for its lax concern/oversight.
@donnyforte2 The politicians realized that government has no business interferring in the private sector, typically politicians, namely Democrats, will try to take earned money away from the people who earned it and then give it to other people who didn't (namely their voting base). That is a very basic form of corruption. All the deregulation did was allow the people who earned the money have more control over how it was spent.
republicans got rid of slavery, segregation laws and supported LBJ pass all those laws when his own party wouldnt support him and have always been the party for human freedom and equality and individual responsibility. the democrats were the ones who started the kkk who lynched and terrorised coloured americans for decades. BUT the republican party is starting to lose its way of human freedom with their anti gay rhetoric and telling ppl who they can or cannot marry and it needs to stop soon.
@Hotrod7031 - Your since of history is highly flawed and seems you totally skipped the issues that made the shift in both parties occur. Not to mention liberal and conservative are not political parties but ideologies. Take a look at this and it will explain a lot (watch?v=xVdz985HTJk). Your comment shows that you're half cocked and you come off very misinformed and ignorant of the facts.
@Hotrod7031 Why are repubs against prochoice and gay rights? It's like christians saying "we're for love and peace, now join us or suffer for eternity." and they do.
are you fuggin kidden me.the racist democrates from the 1960s did become republicans.Lets look into history,THE CIVAL WAR! democrates supported slavery for economic power while the republicans took a moral stance against slavery.
@theyoungturd all the facts are against you senator byrd use to be the grand wizard in the kkk . the republicans faught for the blacks in civil war and it was the dixecrats that didnt want to intergrate the schools system . your are a big ass idiot youngturd!!!! your problem is you dont know history you only know media propaganda your a useless moron .
@saint27573 Um, no. I don't even need to do any research on the subject to tell you that you are wrong. Majority of the south was republican, and still is. Majority of the south wanted to continue to own slaves back then. What you are doing is confusing names of the past (We didn't even have democrats back then) with the actual parties of today, they rebranded.
@Shyhalu LMAO! i need to ask you this,Are you are uneducated? i think you do need to look into history because democrates supported slavery for economic power,why was the north and south divided?? because democratic slave owners didnt see eye to eye with republicans in the south.your a joke.
@TheBusinessisgood Back then the federalists existed. Changing your party name does not change the group of people under it. All they did was undergo a name change. Don't question my education when you demonstrate that you are lacking in it, especially when you are tricked by something as simple as a name change.
@Shyhalu I already replied to your blatant and inaccurate comment.i can tell politics is perfect for you(concluding that politics are for idiots)il make sure you recieve this one,aint i a big boy! :)
Minimum wage is bad for the poor. Teenagers are hurt the most. One thing people must remember is the wage one earns is agreed upon the employer and employee, if you think the wage is too low you won't go for the job anyways.
@Mezey5 are you fucking high or something? Large corporations like Target, Wal-Mart, Burger King and many many others don't settle wages on a case-by-case basis. Everybody gets started on minimum wage unless they're applying for management or something. And saying that if wages are too low people wont work, is absolutely absurd.
@ChrisTripp People won't work because the economy won't work. Like it or not, if the minimum wage does not keep with inflation, or atleast tries to, businesses will start dropping like flies.
this add ir true...white dems hate black republicans. dems are the party of the KKK. 1952 jim crow alabama woudnt let blks register to vote. THATS A FACT!!! so if u dont know what ur talking about STFU.
this add ir true...white dems hate black republicans. dems are the party of the KKK. 1952 jim crow alabama woudnt let blks register to vote. THATS A FACT!!! so if u dont know what ur talking about STFU.
So, if you are a black republican, you're an uncle Tom? I guess Martin Luther King was an uncle Tom too. What about Byrd the Dem? Address that racist fucktard. He was KKK and mentioned in that ad? Is that a lie too according to this idiot? The fact is, most republicans, which I am not, understand fiscal and economic impacts better than dems from the conversations I have had black or any other color. Dems talk about equality but have no idea how to get there without taking away from someone else.
Wow, you are calling them uncle tom's??? That proves the point. Democrats think that all blacks should think the same and be slaves to their agenda. You are a racist prick!
Before I say anything, I would first like to say that I am not a republican nor am I a democrat, but I try to respect the political ideologies of both. That being said, I have concluded that Cenk is a complete idiot. I've researched the black republican ads and their statements, much of what the ads have said was legitimate. Unfortunately, it is people like this guy that give democrats a bad name. As far as I am concerned, it is a waste of time to listen to this man.
@phil8888 No. Your thinking of the "Classic" Democratic party.
("Classic" does not mean better) (Unlike Coke. Classic Coke is good.)
The original Democratic Party was a very conservative movement.
It was overtaken by a split in the party during the late '40's by liberals who wanted to end segregation. The conservative movement moved from Dixiecrat into finally joining the Republican Party where it rests today.
@harry4now Example of a "Classic" Democrat. He just survived the sweeping to the right, and mainly voted along Republican lines ( voted against Civil Rights bill, who many conservatives such as RR and Bush Sr. opposed)
@Spiderzumbie You are confused. Al Gore Senior who opposed Civil Rights act in 57 and 64. Joining him in the Filibuster were Byrd, and j. William Fulbright (D), whom Bill Clinton cited as a mentor. While I have no doubt you can find a quote or some such that indicated he opposed, George HW Bush was not elected to Congress until 1966. 2 years after a coalition of Rebublicans and Democrats broke the DEMOCRAT Filibuster holding up the CRA of 1964.
@phil8888 Yes it was, over a hundred years ago when it was largely conservative. They favored smaller government and the rights of states- At that time, the rights of Southern states to enforce Jim Crow Laws. The Republican party at that time was more liberal, and more interested in human rights, as is evident in Abraham Lincoln, who was a Republican, freeing the slaves. Ironically, the two parties are now the complete political opposite of their former selves today.
I'm a 27 year old black republican with a degree in history and government and I'm sick and tired of people, mainly minority democrats who all of a sudden want to be involved in politics and have no idea what they are talking about. I thought the video presented by the Nbra was informative. Who do blacks claim set the Slaves free?? Right Abraham Lincoln a republican. But who was geared towards keeping slavery?? Yep Stephen Douglass; Lincoln's opponent in the election on the democratic tick
Republicans, Democrats. Theyre the same stooges that exploit or oppress dark-skinned individuals. Also, for the record, minimum wage increases keep dark-skinned folks unemployed. Unemployed people rob banks and 7-11s and mug you for drug money. Then we lock them up. We can solve all of these "problems" and 21st century slavery by legalizing marijuana and abolishing the minimum wage (among other things).
When Clinton left office 95% of blacks were employed. Not robbing banks 7 11s and mugging people for drug money. And everything that guy said up there was true. Those people are massive uncle toms.
@kirby4d I don't disagree with everything you say, but how do minimum wage increases keep dark-skinned people unemployed? I don't under stand that. Please explain.
the young turds are full of shit, you guys are so left wing, you will always criticize the right wing, but you never admit the wrong doing of the left wing, you guys are so close minded, why cant you also criticize the left as well as the right, you are full of shit
the young turks suck we are dragged into their bullshit because even though most vids have no more then ten thousand views they are always at the top of the list on the right. They are always on the far left ad their views are extremely predictable. "Come on dude" YOU SOUND LIKE A FUCKING UNCLE TOM BITCH!
Black Republicans need to give it up. All the GOP, tea party types care about are white people with big smiles and white teeth. They don't know you all exist.
He would have been smart voting against minimum wage laws. Minimum wage laws only hurt the people they are intended to help. People fail to understand economics and the way the economy should work. They think with their heart and it leads to their head. They think we need planners and do gooders who will steal from the rich and do "good things". They think it's the Presidents burden to "create jobs". Programs and regulations should be judged by their results not by their intentions.
Cenk: I don't know who you are, and I just found you by coincidence. But I need to tell you something. Please, do no ever think that you can throw terms around like "Uncle Tom" and keep the respect of any African American, Republican or Democrat. Deep down, it's not taken very well. Be careful with that statement, it hurts your position more than it helps. You are not one us, nor do you speak for us.
@mark4298 my friend : I'd respectfully encourage u 2 not fret too much about "Cenk Uygurs" of the world, the HOPELESS unspeakably condescending / patronizing BIGOTS of the American political left. Though I of course TOTALLY appreciate where u're coming from ! I'm not black, but if I was, I'D b totally pissed off by pompously patronizing white lefties telling me "Whites can vote for anyone, but blacks voting Republican are contemptible 'Uncle Toms' " These creeps think they "own" black people !
Yeah I can see the Dem party being racist. Look at Obama, racist pig fucker. Remember when that dumb fucking black professor locked himself out of his own house, then tried to break in through the window, and the cops showed up and he started insulting them and screaming and threatening them and shit? First thing Obama did was say "I'm not familiar with the details of what happened, but that cop was wrong." and tried to make it seem that the cop was being racist. Black people can be racist too
wow. fuck that. anyone with a brain knows that republicans AND democrats are ALL different then back then. they always change over time. both partys are so different nowadays that cant be true. sorry.
And I don't care when this video was posted. I hope the dildo up your ass is made from materials containing PBA's and that you develop some kind of endocrine disorder as a result.I hope the medication you will require, erodes your arteries resulting in diminished health and a drastically reduced lifespan.Still, I hope you live long enough to see all three houses go to the Republicans.And I hope the next president is a dark as night conservative.Dumb fruit.
You liberal filth. How fucking condescending.So, because a Black person disagrees with you something must be wrong with him.You racist liberal filth, you are garbage.I hope you die from aids from all the anonymous men who ejaculate into your bottom.You fucking condescending scum. Go die somewhere.
This video is true RACISM!
This is why the democrats are happy to have impotent niggers whose only purpose in life is to cash a welfare check and vote for a democrat. White liberal scum. FUCK YOU!!!
@cjbos81 hahahah this is hilarious. First you call this video racist, which it isnt, but you're clearly too stupid to know that. Then you go and imply that blacks who vote democrat are "impotent niggers whose only purpose in life is to cash a welfare check and vote for a democrat"
But no, you're not racist. You just hate them democrat-voting niggers.
My only admiration of black republicans is their tolerance of being called a monkey and a nigger by supporters of GOP Canidates like the people at the McCain/Palin rallies and at the rallies in west Pennsylvania where the whites were saying that Obama would be a "Monkey President" The most curious thing was that no other republican tried to put an end to the hate rhetoric.TYPICAL!
Shame on these bastards! Marthin Luther King Jr was in favour or democratic socialism. No form of socialism fits the Republican bill. He was NOT a Republican. His dad WAS a Republican indeed, but party affiliation is not genetic, and he switched to Democrat after the Kennedys helped get his son out of jail anyway. Why was his son there? Because he was leading a peaceful demonstration against the segregation of African Americans. And the Kennedys got him out. Not the Republicans. Shame on them!
@minagica He was Baptist Minister, Hew was hardcore conservative republican, also, is there any evidence that he actully directly indorsed the kennedy's?
@TeamAnDmoto MLK's FATHER was a Republican along with the majority of the Black community before JFK helped get MLK out of prison. MLK himself was in favour of democratic socialism and he tried to remain publicly impartial with respect to political parties in order to not weaken his message. Republicans and Democrats changed a lot over the years in terms of policy.
@TeamAnDmoto (cont'd) Even if he actually was a Republican and just managed to hide it for his political purposes: saying MLK was a Republican is misleading and, imo, disgusting, as he was pro-socialist while Republicans consider anything socialism communist and "un-American" and, imo, are rather racist. Weird twist of fate for Lincoln's party... :(
@minagica How is it misleading? So your saying that you would want to take the path of the Soviet Union, and be a communists state, and enavitably collapse. Republicans say those things because no communists or socialists country has ever survived. China is a communists country, but it allows free trade, thats why it is still here. Also, im Indian, i dont think im a racists prick. Also, there Democrats who still wernt ready for a black man to be president. Democrats are the racists party. Always
@TeamAnDmoto It is misleading because Republicans today are not the same as Republicans back in MLK's time. And you have it wrong about the alternative being communism: the alternative is a whole spectrum of capitalism+socialism. You even pointed it out yourself with your example about China. And both North Korea and Cuba seem to be surviving (but at what price to their populations! Makes me sick!), so please try to be factual.
@TeamAnDmoto As for who is racist: Democrats or Republicans, I say the Republicans are still a bit more racist, because the Democrats still had the guts to put forward a Black candidate but I have never heard of the Republicans doing the same (in fact, they use gender rhetoric to their advantage - White Hands, anyone?). Isn't that why there was the whole discussion about race vs gender during the campaign? Because no Black presidential nominee has ever been put forward before?
@minagica Thats liberal talk. You think that its all about race. Well look at what that black canidate has done so far. We dint nominate a black person because there were no good ones that agreed with what republicans wanted. Democrats nominated obama soly on his race. Thats why its such a big deal. Just because we dont follow the democrats doesnt mean were racists. The first Black man on the supream court was republican. There are alot of black republican senators. We dont play the race card.
@TeamAnDmoto How do you define liberal talk if you find it so negative? Also: Republicans will be racist when a candidate doesn't suit them. What about Jesse Helms' 'White Hands' ad campaign? You know, the same guy who tried his best to prevent Martin Luther King Jr. Day from becoming a federal holiday? He never apologized for it either.
@TeamAnDmoto Again: I am not saying the Democrats wouldn't have their fair share of racists (JFK wasn't exactly a fan of Black rights), what I am saying is that you can't pretend racism isn't present within the Republican party.
@minagica Yes, off course it is, but im saying that people assosiate all racists people with the republican party, just because we are mainly in the south now. They may agree with us, be we dont agree with the racists, and democrats think were holding there hand while being racists.
seriously people, calling eachother losers and idiots isn't helping anything and isn't keeping or putting obama out of office.just in case no one else noticed but me.you have different opinions,so what?arguing online with someone you don't know makes YOU the losers and idiots.lets leave the name calling to the children.
For everyone who fails to understand how the two parties have changed over the years, I will make it simple: Conservatives have always on the side of racists. It's a simple fact since they resist change. They were the slave owners who didn't want to give up their slaves. They were the people hosing down civil right's leaders to keep black people in their place. And now they are the ones opposing the president because he is black. There is your proof.
hey loser. why do you defend Obama when the entire country is now realizing what a con artist lying arrogant fraud he is? are yu the only one left? you are a loser dude.
Uncle Tom!?! PSSSHH No, you're not a racist. No one would deny that there are racists in any political party. What the ad campaign is attempting to claim is that throughout history Democrats have been more on the side of racist policies than republicans. That's true BTW. Look up the congressional voting history on civil rights. This dude's game is so weak. He said that those ads were riddled with lies. He denied ONE, 1, claim and that backed up and said it's true but ... verbal diahrea
Oh, well that settles it, then. I guess that means that NOTHING about the modern Republican ideology can be racist at all, since a Republican president abolished slavery 150 years ago (and somewhat grudgingly, I might add). The existence of one fairly decent Republican in the party's early history definitely excuses everything that came afterward.
Do you mouth-breathers ever think before commenting? Seriously.
Not sure what you think you're replying to; I never said that black Republicans don't exist, nor did I ask for you to name any.
Simply pointing out that Lincoln freed the slaves as if that had the SLIGHTEST bearing on the Republican party of the 21st century is stupid, and you are stupid for having done so.
@FourthDerivative "Oh well that settles it, then. I guess that means that NOTHING about the modern Republican ideology can be racist at all"-You If the Republican ideology is racist then why are there so many different races of republicans in office? I named Black Republicans to backup this. By the way I am neither Republican or Democrat, I simply agree/disagree with certain points of both parties. I'm assuming your a democrat, way to represent your party with insulting people over Youtube.
@FourthDerivative I dont care what your political views are all I'm trying to say is that to say either the Republican Party or the Democractic Party is racist is stupid and ignorant. That is all.
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

@kagerone Democrats think that a different context means that you have the right to live if you are a white southern democrat, but then you deny the right of life to any unborn fetus particularly if it is a black one. The subversion, diversion, perversion scam is over. Democrats say 'bye bye' in November.
@kagerone Wrong. The bills had more support from republicans, the bills were written by republicans, and the democrats filibustered the bills in the Senate. You still have the leader of those filibusters in Congress now... Robert Byrd, the Democrat KKK Kleagle and Exhalted Cyclops from West Virginia.
@kagerone Kennedy promised a bill to get elected, then failed to deliver. Once he saw that his Democrats in Congress were going to lose the mid term, he took an ax and a chisel to the Civil Rights Act of 1875 that had been passed by the republicans and overturned by democrats and brought it to the House. He was assassinated by a leftist while it was in debate. Kennedy had also voted no on the previous Civil rights Act written by republicans Everitt Dirksen and President Eisenhower.
@kagerone Obama IS an affirmative action(racist) president. The democrat party IS a plantation. The democrat party is a tool for racism and all other forms of bigotry. Republicans object to the inequality and entitlement of these racists. Reparations should be made, but it is the Democratic Party that should pay, not the federal government or the taxpayers and definitely not the republicans.
@kagerone Those democrats formed the Dixiecrats until after the 1948 election, they said they would vote for a "yellow dog" before voting for a republican. The republican platform has always been a civil rights platform. Republicanism owns every civil rights achievement from 1865 to the present.
@kagerone The Voting Rights Act signed by Lyndon Johnson on August 6, 1965 was written and passed through Congress by republicans while Democrats attempted to filibuster in the Senate. Democrats did not stop disenfranchisement of voters after that. They simply changed their always dishonest rhetoric. There is no such thing as a pro civil rights democrat. The only Democrat to suggest civil rights language on the democrat platform was Harry Truman, which caused a group of democrats to leave.
@kagerone Democrats began disenfranchising minority voters in 1866. Aside from the KKK, they instituted poll taxes,ballot stuffing, gerrymandering and literacy tests to disqualify black voters because the black voters were all republican voters with strong majorities in the southern states. The term "grandfather clause" came from the exception made to the literacy test that would have disenfranchised white voters. Democratic intimidation went on for 100 years through the 1960's.
Black Republicans are patriots, not uncle tom's. The sad thing about liberals and progressives, they don't like it when black (un-hyphenated) Americans have minds of their own. It's a lot easier to control people when you can brainwash them into thinking they're victims of everyone and everything. "Uncle Tom" is just another slur by liberals used to describe anyone who thinks for themselves & does not agree with their radical agenda.
@kagerone These programs do not "benefit" anyone. They stifle the free market. It is Democrats playing the race card that make the most ridiculous claims of issues being race issues. Republicans understand that our rights are regardless of race, not according to race. Democrats inflicted slavery according to race and called it a "benefit". Lincoln explained that equality is only in law, while no one is physically, intellectually or financially equal. The rule of law trumps majority rule.
@YFLOInternational Amen.The bigots have always been Democrats and will always be Democrats. That's why we call them Democrat. Democrats have a racist, sexist, genocidal bigot's agenda. Republicans want equality under law, something a bigot cannot tolerate. Democrats have hated republicans since the 13th, 14th and15th Amendments.
Key to political debates: If you hear a polititian and he starts spitting and using "all" words (everything, anything, always, anyway) or hyperbolic language ("your taxes are hurting TRILLIONS of Americans!!") Stop listening. It works.
Let me ask liberals some questions. If I do not produce as much as I am paid why should my employer hire me? If the minimum wage prevents them from paying me less wont they have to fire me in order to avoid losing money?
"Conservatives should feel some embarrassment and shame that we are outraged at instances of racism now that it is easy to be. Conservatives...were often at best MIA on the issue of civil rights in the 1960s. Liberals were on the right side of history on the issue of race. And conservatives should probably admit that more often."
Jonah Goldberg , conservative syndicated columnist and author
I can't believe that you think white Republicans are for black, go kill yourself. Please come to the south, all 13 southern states which is Republican states doesn't give dam about any minority group. Stop selling lies because white Republicans would NEVER vote for a black president, they don't like any minorties, ask southern whites not northern whites. Ya'll are the true definition of a Uncle Tom, kissing ass because they are never going to let u or anybody else run them. VOTE DEMOCRAT ONLY
Republicanism is incompatible with bigotry. In order for a bigot or racist to exploit any minority, he requires a form of government called Democracy without a bill of rights that would constitute a Republic. A republic rules by law rather than majority sentiment. The Young Turks are the most disgraceful bigots I have ever seen on You Tube. This guy is full of bigotry. How ridiculous to suggest that opposing raising minimum wage is a racial issue. Raising minimum wage kills jobs and opportunity.
@ReppaBlicken Blacks are twice as likely to be below the poverty line than whites and have always been poorer than whites in general thanks to our country's racist history. Therefore, issues that affect the poor have always been important to African Americans. You think McDonalds pays workers minimum wage because it's all the can afford? Hahaha! No, silly, they pay minimum wage because it's the lowest they can legally get away with paying.
the backbone of the country is the east coast... which is liberal and also other parts of the country that is liberal as well.. if the south was the backbone of the country... we would be so behind.. america wouldnt be the alpha country in anything
See, Democrats are the ones who assume blacks and minorities are at a disadvantage, and even Young Turks here calls black people who happen to think outside the box and be self-reliant 'Uncle Toms' just like every other Democrat. Democrats ARE the party of racism. They founded the KKK, passed Jim Crowe laws, and nowadays convince people in minorities they have inferior rights and are powerless unless rich white people give them handouts...then call the Republicans 'racist'. Its so backwards.

Your first response was revisionist history and now you're resorting to petty bs. We protect the rights of the minorities in this country, we don't stomp on them.

@donnyforte2 My first response was true history, not some made up history like Bowling For Columbine's 'History' of the United States (the one that implied the KKK evolved from the NRA). You're right, Democrats no longer try to openly persecute minorities. Instead, they put them in situations where they are expected to not do as well, and therefore need 'special treatment'. There's nothing petty about being direct in saying the truth: Affirmative Action IS racist.

@donnyforte2 "Equality" does NOT mean being given extra points or consideration because of skin color. As for states that don't allow for politicians who are atheists to serve....there should not be a law stating that lack of religion can prevent someone from getting elected if they can get enough people to vote for them (I'd vote for an atheist if I agreed with their positions). However, same deal, there should not be some law giving atheists extra points for being the 'minority'.

If this is simply a cry of "They took er jobs!".... well, getting Washington to favor labor (people) over capital would benefit us all. And as long as we have a tax code that benefits the wealthy, a majority will*** stay in poverty/unhealthy environments.

@donnyforte2 That being said, Affirmative Action is, as I understand it, a policy that tries to set racial quotas and depends on percentages of the population and, for the sake of what you call 'fairness' will give a perspective employee special consideration (even if they're not the most qualified) for skin color alone. Tell me where I'm wrong on that, and if I'm not wrong, explain how that is not racist.

"But when it comes to racism, the Democrats keep that alive"
Are you saying it's always been this way... or that affirmative action has lived out its purpose? B/c aggressive racism existed before and right on through the civil rights movement.

@donnyforte2 Saying affirmative action still has purpose is saying that one race is still inferior, and it's not. Minorities and people living in poverty are two different topics all together, the fact the Democrats are the ones trying to put them together (typically to try to sucker votes from minorities) only further demonstrates they look at race as something to exploit to get elected. That seems pretty racist to me.

@dunkelfier You're not answering my question. Did affirmative action ever serve a purpose in your eyes? If it didn't, we really have nothing else to talk about.

Just as your party relies on old white bigots to exploit. And it's not like Republicans aren't using the "sanctity of marriage" and other religious bs to attract minorities since religion is so prevalent in poverty. The same religious-bigotry bs that stopped interracial marriage.
donnyforte2 6 months ago
@donnyforte2 Affirmative Action did not accomplish anything, it's made things worse. Skin color and ethnicity should NEVER be used to determine social status in a truly equal society. As for 'Sanctity of marriage' crap, I never said Republicans are good. Republicans are guilty of using government to enforce sexual orientation, and they're wrong to do it. But nobody calls the Democrats 'homophobes'. With racism it's the Democrats who are guilty, but everyone thinks Republicans are the racists.

@dunkelfier "why you think Republicans are racist"
I'm not the one who's blaming an entire party, you are. And saying a Republican ad is racey isn't the same thing as saying the Republican party is racist. If anything, mainstream Republicans are too sensitive about a social construct of race and make themselves look like idiots in the process.
"Republicans don't complain about race"
They complain about welfare while simultaneously filling the pockets of the wealthy. That's what I care about.
donnyforte2 6 months ago
@donnyforte2 Ok, I guess my complaint was that people call Republicans 'racists' frequently, while hardly anyone points out the history of racism in the Democrat Party. Republicans don't fill the pockets of the wealthy, they sit back and let the wealthy keep doing the things that made them wealthy. Working hard and becomming wealthy is not a crime, nor should it be. This country is based on the idea that anyone with enough ambition and determination has the opportunity to succeed.

@dunkelfier "Working hard and becomming wealthy is not a crime"
Greed is why we're in an economic crisis. And a person making 35k a year is paying a bigger % out of his/her paycheck than some multi-millionaire/billionaire. It becomes a crime when so much wealth is transferred, the top 400 individuals in this country have more combined wealth than the bottom 50% of all Americans. Maintaining poverty on top of an educational system lacking funds (budget cuts), it's a crime.
donnyforte2 6 months ago
@donnyforte2 The reason we're in an economic crisis is because of the chain reaction due to the collapse of the housing market and all the investments and derivatives people had based on the housing bubble. The reason things got so bad was because of the Community Reinvestment Act, and the government forcing banks to lend money to people regardless of their ability to pay back. It was actually George Bush who tried to stop this in 2004, but the Democrats (Barney Frank) stopped him.

@dunkelfier "because of the Community Reinvestment Act,"
No, you mean the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (of 1999)... drawn up by three Republicans.
"It was actually George Bush who tried to stop this in 2004"
This too is a bunch of bullshit. Republican-conservatives controlled all three sectors of government, including the committee that supposedly "Barney Frank stopped". They did not need Barney Frank to pass the legislation to the floor. It was all for show anyway.. there were no meaningful ideas.
donnyforte2 6 months ago
@donnyforte2 It wasn't deregulation that caused the housing market collapse, it was OVER-regulation, with the intent of allowing anyone, regardless of their ability to pay for their mortgage, to take out loans that would be backed by the government. This caused many people to try to make money from skyrocketing housing prices, and when the bubble burst everyone blamed the government, not the people who took advantage of government regulated loans.
dunkelfier 6 months ago
@dunkelfier "It wasn't deregulation that caused the housing market collapse"
Both Friedman and Greenspan insured the markets were self-regulating. The subprime market crisis came directly from private sector.. not those "poor people". And none of this ever explain the intensity of mortgage lending. This was a crisis thanks to 30 years of financial deregulation in the making. I'm not separating the Democrats from the same resulting mess, but Republicans kept the scam running primo.
donnyforte2 6 months ago
@donnyforte2 Deregulation is not a scam. All the Gramm-Leach-Bliley bill did was repeal part of the Glass-Steagall Act, which among other things allowed the government to limit speculation and prevent any one bank from being an investment and commercial bank at the same time. In any case, who do YOU think should be in charge of regulating banks? Politicians? Politicians would be far more likely to be bought off than anyone working for a bank.

@dunkelfier "Politicians would be far more likely to be bought off than anyone working for a bank."
How do you think deregulation came about? The politicians were bought. I didn't even mention credit default swaps and these are all unregulated securities. And since every deal is private, all hell breaks loose because the bank fuckers are all hand-to-cock with credit default contracts. Let's also remember the SEC was in bed with the Bush administration for its lax concern/oversight.

Shame on these bastards! Marthin Luther King Jr was in favour or democratic socialism. No form of socialism fits the Republican bill. He was NOT a Republican. His dad WAS a Republican indeed, but party affiliation is not genetic, and he switched to Democrat after the Kennedys helped get his son out of jail anyway. Why was his son there? Because he was leading a peaceful demonstration against the segregation of African Americans. And the Kennedys got him out. Not the Republicans. Shame on them!

@TeamAnDmoto MLK's FATHER was a Republican along with the majority of the Black community before JFK helped get MLK out of prison. MLK himself was in favour of democratic socialism and he tried to remain publicly impartial with respect to political parties in order to not weaken his message. Republicans and Democrats changed a lot over the years in terms of policy.
minagica 1 year ago
@TeamAnDmoto (cont'd) Even if he actually was a Republican and just managed to hide it for his political purposes: saying MLK was a Republican is misleading and, imo, disgusting, as he was pro-socialist while Republicans consider anything socialism communist and "un-American" and, imo, are rather racist. Weird twist of fate for Lincoln's party... :(
minagica 1 year ago
@minagica How is it misleading? So your saying that you would want to take the path of the Soviet Union, and be a communists state, and enavitably collapse. Republicans say those things because no communists or socialists country has ever survived. China is a communists country, but it allows free trade, thats why it is still here. Also, im Indian, i dont think im a racists prick. Also, there Democrats who still wernt ready for a black man to be president. Democrats are the racists party. Always

@TeamAnDmoto It is misleading because Republicans today are not the same as Republicans back in MLK's time. And you have it wrong about the alternative being communism: the alternative is a whole spectrum of capitalism+socialism. You even pointed it out yourself with your example about China. And both North Korea and Cuba seem to be surviving (but at what price to their populations! Makes me sick!), so please try to be factual.

@TeamAnDmoto As for who is racist: Democrats or Republicans, I say the Republicans are still a bit more racist, because the Democrats still had the guts to put forward a Black candidate but I have never heard of the Republicans doing the same (in fact, they use gender rhetoric to their advantage - White Hands, anyone?). Isn't that why there was the whole discussion about race vs gender during the campaign? Because no Black presidential nominee has ever been put forward before?

@minagica Thats liberal talk. You think that its all about race. Well look at what that black canidate has done so far. We dint nominate a black person because there were no good ones that agreed with what republicans wanted. Democrats nominated obama soly on his race. Thats why its such a big deal. Just because we dont follow the democrats doesnt mean were racists. The first Black man on the supream court was republican. There are alot of black republican senators. We dont play the race card.

For everyone who fails to understand how the two parties have changed over the years, I will make it simple: Conservatives have always on the side of racists. It's a simple fact since they resist change. They were the slave owners who didn't want to give up their slaves. They were the people hosing down civil right's leaders to keep black people in their place. And now they are the ones opposing the president because he is black. There is your proof.

@kagerone Kennedy promised a bill to get elected, then failed to deliver. Once he saw that his Democrats in Congress were going to lose the mid term, he took an ax and a chisel to the Civil Rights Act of 1875 that had been passed by the republicans and overturned by democrats and brought it to the House. He was assassinated by a leftist while it was in debate. Kennedy had also voted no on the previous Civil rights Act written by republicans Everitt Dirksen and President Eisenhower.

@kagerone Obama IS an affirmative action(racist) president. The democrat party IS a plantation. The democrat party is a tool for racism and all other forms of bigotry. Republicans object to the inequality and entitlement of these racists. Reparations should be made, but it is the Democratic Party that should pay, not the federal government or the taxpayers and definitely not the republicans.

@kagerone Those democrats formed the Dixiecrats until after the 1948 election, they said they would vote for a "yellow dog" before voting for a republican. The republican platform has always been a civil rights platform. Republicanism owns every civil rights achievement from 1865 to the present.
ReppaBlicken 1 year ago
@kagerone The Voting Rights Act signed by Lyndon Johnson on August 6, 1965 was written and passed through Congress by republicans while Democrats attempted to filibuster in the Senate. Democrats did not stop disenfranchisement of voters after that. They simply changed their always dishonest rhetoric. There is no such thing as a pro civil rights democrat. The only Democrat to suggest civil rights language on the democrat platform was Harry Truman, which caused a group of democrats to leave.
ReppaBlicken 1 year ago
@kagerone Democrats began disenfranchising minority voters in 1866. Aside from the KKK, they instituted poll taxes,ballot stuffing, gerrymandering and literacy tests to disqualify black voters because the black voters were all republican voters with strong majorities in the southern states. The term "grandfather clause" came from the exception made to the literacy test that would have disenfranchised white voters. Democratic intimidation went on for 100 years through the 1960's.

Black Republicans are patriots, not uncle tom's. The sad thing about liberals and progressives, they don't like it when black (un-hyphenated) Americans have minds of their own. It's a lot easier to control people when you can brainwash them into thinking they're victims of everyone and everything. "Uncle Tom" is just another slur by liberals used to describe anyone who thinks for themselves & does not agree with their radical agenda.

@kagerone These programs do not "benefit" anyone. They stifle the free market. It is Democrats playing the race card that make the most ridiculous claims of issues being race issues. Republicans understand that our rights are regardless of race, not according to race. Democrats inflicted slavery according to race and called it a "benefit". Lincoln explained that equality is only in law, while no one is physically, intellectually or financially equal. The rule of law trumps majority rule.

Republicanism is incompatible with bigotry. In order for a bigot or racist to exploit any minority, he requires a form of government called Democracy without a bill of rights that would constitute a Republic. A republic rules by law rather than majority sentiment. The Young Turks are the most disgraceful bigots I have ever seen on You Tube. This guy is full of bigotry.

@ReppaBlicken Blacks are twice as likely to be below the poverty line than whites and have always been poorer than whites in general thanks to our country's racist history. Therefore, issues that affect the poor have always been important to African Americans. You think McDonalds pays workers minimum wage because it's all the can afford? Hahaha! No, silly, they pay minimum wage because it's the lowest they can legally get away with paying.
