OK. What is the type I use to? Is it the type who repeatedly makes wild claims and doesn't bother to back it up...


I'm sorry you are bored because you entertain the **** out of me.

I agree southerners are typically “more” racist, although certain areas of the north are very racist as well, such as Boston. The reason southerners began voting republican is because as race became less of an issue, values became more of a voting issue and religion, pro guns and small government play more in the south. Hence voting republican.

And the Republicans have done magnificently in becoming the party that panders to white identity politics in perpetuating the victimization of whites. I give them a ton of credit in this regard.

You make the mistake of thinking only one side plays identity politics. Both sides do, Republicans just do it about one identity. There's a reason every other identity doesn't vote for them, and it's because Republicans don't care about them.

How does most white people being slave owners in 1860 have anything to do with the actions of white people today? Also, I’m simply pointing out the history of the party in a reference to their racism today.

Democrats were the party of slavery and racism. Because back then Democrats were Southern Conservatives. Today, Republicans are. It seems we are in agreement, southern conservatives have been the main racist group in this country and is generally the most racist in every era.

I have no idea how white people being slave owners in 1860 has anything to do with the actions of white people today. I literally never brought it up. You stated you were talking about how Democrats act in the present day and yet have continually brought up how Democrats were the party of slavery. What does that have to do with the present day actions of Democrats?


What's funny, is you seem to be mad that black people still harp about how white people owned slaves in 1860 and yet you can't shut up about how Democrats were the party of slavery. So can we hold what someone did 150 years ago against them or not? Because if not, I'm really wondering why you're so adamant about holding something Democrats did 150 years ago against them today while shouting how it's unfair black people hold something white people did 150 years ago against them.

Last paragraph first- I don’t hold grudges against democrats for not just being the party of slavery but also the party of the KKK and Jim Crow. I just believe it should be a well know fact, especially since they continue to show racism today. Their policies have failed black people and poor people overall. They have done a great job of selling **** to Black people while doing nothing for them. I don’t know that republicans have the answer for sure but simple understanding of economics shows they might.

Also, calling them “southern conservatives” doesn’t change anything. They were democrats. Obviously no one is the party of slavery but I can wear the badge of a Republican (meaning I voted for Rs in the past) and be content and even happy with the party’s history, especially in regards to race.

Sure you don't hold a grudge :rolleyes:

Since you wear the badge of Republican, you should be very proud of their history in regards to racial relations. You should be downright ashamed about their current behavior regarding race.

What's funny is you want to act like Democrats today are the ones carrying the history of slavery when it's Republicans today who go around waving the Confederate flag everywhere.

So be proud of your Republican pin! Be proud of the Confederate Flag! Keep telling Democrats they're the real racists! And keep watching black people want nothing to do with Republicans. But most importantly, keep acting surprised when it happens.

This is something I have noticed for years now. Republicans pushing racist or bigoted rhetoric always proudly puff out their chest while reciting democratic ideals, lmao

It's a weird sort of double think. "Republicans were the Northern anti-slavery party!" while waving around the Confederate flag. "We believe nobody should be discriminated against for their religion" while supporting a call to ban all Muslims from entering the US.

But what more do you expect from a country whose slogan is and was "land of the free" while we literally had slavery lol.

Everyone engages in double think to an extent, but it can get pretty egregious sometimes.

I don’t wave the confederate flag but I don’t infringe on others rights to express themselves. I also believe black people will realize the difference between some dude waiving a confederate flag and actual politicians who speak down to them in large groups like Dems do. Please at least admit this has happened, on multiple occasions. You’re so hallow in your approach. On one hand, you call republicans racist for supporting peoples right to waive the confederate which could be construed as racism but you flat out deny the notion the people like Hillary, AOC and Biden were being racist. You’re beyond bias. If a Republican was acting this way, I’d admit their racism. It’s sad that white liberals can’t do the same.

So as long as someone offers free stuff, you’re ok with them being racist?
