I don't think racism is tied to being in one political party or the other. I think that there are plenty of racists in both parties though.

Of course there is. But the left uses race as a political weapon.

That took me about 20 seconds to find. And no matter how many more I find, you'll still say "nope, left does it worse."
Those are not examples of race-baiting. Therefore the headline of the article is disingenuous and inaccurate.

It is very obvious that Obama is a hardcore racist. He was a long-time member of an openly racist cult and only rescinded his membership after it became a huge controversy during the run-up to the 2008 election.

Okay. :roll:
 
I bet you got a good friend who is black.

It drives me nuts when folks have that one black (or gay or latino or jew or whatever) friend that they insist speaks to the experience of all blacks (gays or latino or jew or whatever).
 
I did not answer, because it is silly and unquantifiable.

But, I will ask this.

If there is an in your face truly racist comment, sign, picture, or such.....which side do you think is responsible?
 
If you come here to an internet political forum for the truth you are truly in search of a brain.

But he could unravel any riddle for any individ'le in trouble or in pain. With the thoughts that he'd be thinkin' he could be another Lincoln.......
 
I sincerely believe that if you believe the "other side" is more anything, you're probably turning a blind eye to the "sins" of your own side. There isn't anything I've seen from one side that the other side is not equally capable of. I've seen/heard liberals make race based insults and I've seen plenty of race baiting from conservatives.

This is why I have always taken such great pains to make sure my side only has one person in it. Not only do I avoid the blind eye phenomenon, but I enjoy the added benefit of all the approval I receive by members of other groups for my not being included in theirs.
 
So illegal aliens can't keep casting their votes for Rep. Loretta Sanchez every two years.

Any chance that this Ms. Sanchez is a minority and perhaps even not a Republican?
 
Sorry my friend I believe in Reagan's 11th commandment and as a self identified Conservative you should know what that is.


I can't understand why you radical right extremists are allowed to sully the moniker "Conservative."
 
the leftist cause called affirmative action is based on the racist belief that blacks are not able to compete against other races without help. while there are a fair number of conservatives who are racist, the left engages in systemic racism




One question: If the left is racist why do minorities shun the GOP and support the Democratic Party?

Take all the time that you need to figure out an answer,
 
From my observation racists are fairly evenly distributed all over the USA.

I would tend to agree, the difference is some are more overt about it and come some more covert depending on the section of the country.
 
That saddens me my left wing friend....Its really bad you can dislike me because we disagree on the on political issues. Its pretty much what I am talking about.......
The left hates the right so much that they will say are do anything.




Wrong.

The left won't say or do anything, but the left will say or do anything that hurts the right.

:confused: Do you really lack the imagination to wonder if racism can be possible in any venue other than against particular ethnicities?

Turtle is correct - racism in the left is systemic, in the right it is individual.

There's only one race, anyway.

That is just, like, your opinion ...man.

Which I don't agree with.
 
It seems like every day that some prominent talking person from the left is making some racist comment against someone from the right especially on MSNBC.

Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you all on the right ask a minority which side is more racist! I'm sure you know plenty, right? All your best friends are minorities!

:roll: What a fascinating and well-thought-out response.


Hey, what does "la raza" mean in English, anywho?

:) I don't think you want to actually know the answer to that ;)
 
The general failings I see vis a vis left and right when it comes to race is this:

On the left, you have way too many multiculturalist types who absolutely refuse to criticize a person who is of a different race out of fear they will be considered racist. This leads to such enormous double standards that they actually support much hatefulness for the mere reason of who is doing the hating.

On the right, you have way too many who support the good old boy type networks, who nibble around the edges of overt racism and who make excuses for others who are obvious racists.

With both types, it is all about denial. On the left, you get countless types who deny there is racism against white people. I have actually had people here mock my child for being on the receiving end of black on white racism, and others denied the possibility it could even exist. On the right, people say many prejudiced things followed by that old-fashioned "some of my best friends are....." line.

It isn't a right thing or a left thing. It is merely the byproduct of double standards brought on by a sense of group identity. If fewer people would consider themselves part of a group, more people would be able to see it for what it is.
