And there is a VAST difference between "exploit racial conflict" and "supported racist beliefs."
In your misinterpretating the RNC Chief to be saying Republicans were racists and now we're sorry.
I have presented the foundational purpose and mission statement of the Republican Party, as well as it's history, which are essentially the ANTITHESIS of racism or racial prejudice, and you keep telling me they are no longer standing for these things or these principles. You have no proof other than your perspective which is clearly tainted by propaganda. You can't cite an example of policy or show any speech that appears racist in any connotation, unless you take great leaps of logic to deduce it. You've completely re-written history to fit your narrative, and tune out anything that attempts to correct it. The fact that you are trying to argue that an organization exists, which is completely contrary and opposite of what it was established as and has stood for, is quite simply, ludicrous.
Are you aware that at the time of your emancipation from slavery, the "Democrats" wanted you to remain slaves, and for the Federal government to stay the hell out of the business of the plantation owners? That it was only because of Republicans who courageously defeated them in the arena of ideas, that you became free? And again in 1964, when the issue of your Civil Rights came to a head, were you aware it was Democrats who defiantly refused to let go of segregation to the last breath, literally fracturing the party? Were you aware, that if it were not for Republicans, the Civil Rights Act would have never passed?
Oh, but that's right... in your mind, there was this unrecorded miraculous event that took place, where R's & D's somehow swapped places! Right?
I gotta give you guys credit, that is one more amazing feat to attempt! It takes balls to believe people can be stupid enough to buy it!
Well I don't agree that the Republican party is "virtually" an all white party, because they are nowhere near "ALL" white. There are people of every race, religion, and creed, who belong to the Republican party, and support the principles of the Republican party. This has been the case since the Republican party was formed, by anti-slavery advocates. Now granted... in the 1850s, we didn't have as many African-Americans in the Republican party as today, and we were much closer to being "all-white." This doesn't change our founding core beliefs and principles, and WHY we are Republican.
I think it's a racist policy, and you are a racist if you support it.
Again, has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with integrity of elections.
Supporting or not supporting wars, has nothing to do with racism.
Again, absolutely NOTHING to do with race or racism.
In every instance, you want to FIND racism, because someone doesn't agree with your philsophy.
Oh, no doubt... If the argument we are having, is whether blacks historically support the D and not the R, then you win, BAC! I can't refute the brilliance of that.... it's pretty obvious blacks find more to support Democrats for than Republicans. You have all your welfare programs and assistances, and the promise to take more from 'the rich' and make even more programs and assitances for you... I don't blame you for wanting more. Tell me something, how much more 'help' do you figure black people need to be equal to whites? We've been doing this stuff for close to 50 years, and your black teens are having babies out of wedlock more now than ever, your youth are failing in schools, highly unemployable, black on black crime continues to claim lives every day, inner-ctiy gangs have taken over in many cities, but yet.... YOUR DEMOCRATS keep plugging away at the problems with our tax dollars. Isn't it even the least bit curious to you? You'd think, what with ALL the programs and things that have been done for you by Democrats, blacks would be doing better, not worse.
But now... SOME blacks ARE doing better... it's just that, they are usually Republicans. You see, Republicans believe that while you are a 'black' man, you are more importantly, 'a man' and as such, you have the right to achieve success through your individual talent and imagination. That you don't need the government to reaffirm this right, or to give you special treatment or favors, but to remove barriers and obstacles and allow you to reach your potential as an individual. It has nothing to do with your race. You are bitter at R's because they don't hand out special favors to your race, but that's not what they are about, they believe in YOU, and don't believe you NEED favoritism.
You've not shown a thing about Republicans, the Republican platform, or Republican ideology, to be racist, or anything other than the diametric OPPOSITE of racist. When you draw these false inferences on their agenda, YOU become the racist, BAC! YOU are the one being PREJUDICED in your view. Congrats, you are absolutely no different than Archie Bunker! Bigoted in your stubborn beliefs that things are just the way they are, and you're right about it all.
