Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans[W:466]

Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

The root cause of poverty...is insufficient income. If you cut income ("welfare") while destroying your industrial base, the influence of workers on wages (which have been GOP objectives)...I would say that the GOP has been addressing them.....negatively.

Name those alleged GOP objectives.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Specifically, if some in the GOP feel that blacks are inferior, then more than likely some of them act like slavery never ended.

the only people who publicly proclaim blacks are inferior are those who claim they need affirmative action

LOL. Do you even read what you write. I have never seen anyone go to such lengths to defend something so stupid. Look, I am going to bow out of this conversation real soon. Seriously, this might be the dumbest conversation I have ever been in. You wont back down. You are going to defend this stupidity to your dying breath, so I am not going to waste much more time here with you.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

That's because your boy...Harry Reid tables any legislation he does not agree with.

"My boy." A guy I've never voted for (since I don't live in Nevada), who is part of a party that I am not a member of.

Yes, Harry Reid is solely responsible for Congressional gridlock. :roll:

Really? Just what has the republican party done to alienate black voters. Be specific.

Onerous voter ID laws that disproportionately affect black voters; incessant demonization of the poor (a disproportionate number of which happen to be black); the Southern Strategy; some of the rhetoric used against Obama (sorry, but constantly referring to him as a "food stamp president" or "the Affirmative Action president" is not going to resonate well with black voters); "shucking and jiving"; openly courting birthers ... need I go on?
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Yes you are, you will not answer:


Are you going to keep denying that some in the GOP want to repress the Black vote and feel that Blacks are inferior?

You have avoided it, you continue to avoid it.

Your suggestion that anyone in the GOP wants to repress the black vote is both dishonest and patently racist.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

As usual, the context escapes you, I was paraphrasing the posters' statement.
I know you were. I was just pointing out that you happened to say something truthful. I knew you really weren't.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Got it, the suppression of the black vote has been and is still a "lie'.


Oh...you mean like when the Democrat Party in Alabama refused to register Condoleeza Rice's father to vote in the 1960s?
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Name those alleged GOP objectives.
Seriously, I have to write on the forum that the GOP has worked to limit the negotiating powers on wages.....by going after union power?

Are there any intelligent RWer's here who can have an adult conversation with just the tiniest of historical honesty?

Dude, your coming into this thread without reviewing it and jumping to the conclusion that I am unaware that extremist conservatives controlled the Southern Dems prior to the Southern Strategy...is so boring. I really frigging hate having to repeat every GD argument over and over....so do us all a favor....SKIM THROUGH THE THREAD.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

I don't buy his second claim...that the GOP has alienated black voters for 40 years.....unless "not buying votes with entitlements" is alienating.
I don't think there is any question that the GOP ignores the black vote and tends to ignore the black plight in between election cycles (The left does the same thing on the latter). And I think a basic lack of effort in trying to include them in the party is itself a form of alienation. Look, republicans should actively court the black vote. They should set up shop in the heart of these liberal enclaves, hold rallies and town hall meetings, Show an interest and show how limited government and human liberty is the solution to their plight and how the welfare state destroys the human soul. GOP neglect of blacks and issues important to blacks is what alienates blacks for the GOP more than anything else, and allows the left to have success when they hurl the racism slur.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

I know you were. I was just pointing out that you happened to say something truthful. I knew you really weren't.
So if you knew I "weren't", then you knew it "wasn't".

DERP!

Having an ID is not "Onerous"

Obama is an affirmative action poster child btw

You have just admitted in your own way the you feel that African Americans are helpless when it comes obtaining a drivers license or state ID card. Labeling Voter ID bills as an attempt to suppress the black vote is patently racist. And Obama is a food stamp president. He has undone the Welfare reform that was enacted under former president Bill Clinton. There are now roughly 45 million Americans on government assistance. And again your suggesting that calling Obama a food stamp president amounts to racism shows your lack of respect for African Americans. As for courting birthers.......that movement started in the Hillary Clinton camp.

Yes...because everyone knows that the basis of AA is the proposition that blacks are inferior.

That is so ivy.

Lame as ever. Look, I have wasted enough of my Saturday on you so I am going to find something better to do. Now you can have the last word.

Moderator's Warning:
Ok, trying to put the brakes on before things gets out of hand. There's a couple ping pong matches going on that are getting personal without discussing the topic at hand. Please re-focus on the topic, which is not each other. Thanks.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Seriously, I have to write on the forum that the GOP has worked to limit the negotiating powers on wages.....by going after union power?

So now you are suggesting that not giving in to out of control labor unions is racist? Oh my!

Are there any intelligent RWer's here who can have an adult conversation with just the tiniest of historical honesty?

You should be asking that of leftwingers including yourself.

Not sure why having an ID is not onerous when it comes to exercising your 2nd Amendment rights but way too onerous when it comes to casting a vote. I guess liberals are OK with suppressing the rights of blacks to buy guns with their onerous gun laws.

It most certainly is. why else would liberals argue blacks who attended wealthy prep schools get a break applying to top colleges over white kids with much higher SAT or ACT scores who went to public schools

affirmative action is an assumption blacks aren't smart enough to compete with similarly situated white or Asians

what is your fixation with "ivy" and what experience do you have to justify your fixation

I partially agree with that. I think republicans should court voters in the inner cities and other poor areas, town hall meetings, etc.....I just do not agree with hyphenating Americans by race. I believe in Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech." I do not believe in pandering to any specific groups.

gun control laws have a disparate impact on the poor.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Obviously.

the NFA which requires a 200 dollar "tax" was clearly designed in 1930s to prevent the poor from buying machine guns etc
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

So now you are suggesting that not giving in to out of control labor unions is racist? Oh my!
You asked what GOP objectives were involved in suppressing wages, I answered the destruction of union influence...and you spin this to racism.
If you notice....there was nothing related to race in the original quote:

The root cause of poverty...is insufficient income. If you cut income ("welfare") while destroying your industrial base, the influence of workers on wages (which have been GOP objectives)...I would say that the GOP has been addressing them.....negatively.

Uh-huh.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

I agree that the disparity continues today. Securing self defense as a poor person is difficult because of gun control laws.
