Why do we only hear about white on black racism, as if that's the only kind of racism that exists?

What about all the other racism that exists?

Maybe because whites are 80% of the population?

Why would the racists run to the least racist of the two parties? I think the notion that it was for racist reasons is the real lie.

In 1964 with a Democratic President pushing the Civil Rights Act I seriously doubt the voters in the South saw the Republicans as the least racists. Not one southern Republican Congressman voted for the CSA, not even one. There were a few southern Democrat Congressmen that voted for it, though.

because the racist Democrats were welcomed with open-arms, by the Republican Party.

It was called the Southern Strategy, and it sought to inflame, manipulate, and profit from the division between the racist Dixiecrats and the Democrats.

Again? No. We've never gone down any road. It's an accepted fact that you're nothing more than a Stormfront troll. Most people on the forum just don't really have the time to make you aware of it.

is this a fact? is he really a regular on Stormfront?

We need more museums like this as a constant reminder. Nobody in their right mind would ever tell Jewish people to "get over" the Holocaust.

Iirc, a number of Jews have told other Jews not to wallow in it.

I used to be very critical of my fellow Jews for constantly talking about the Holocaust.

But the sad fact is, much of our history has been plagued with perscutions, exile, and genocide...making it a MAJOR part of the fabric of our culture.

Yep, I wonder if they included that Jim Crow laws were devised, and implemented by liberals.

I thought one of the problems with liberals is that they're full of PC ****.

AFAICT, the folks who enacted the laws were trying to conserve their traditional values.

Perhaps the definition of "liberals" you're using is applied willy nilly.
Maybe political labels from the 21st century aren't meaningful in the context of the Post-War South of the 19th century. I mean there is more than a century between the two times.

But, hey, you scored some points.

Here are three partisan points for you effort.

We hear about other types of racism all the time, I don't know what he's on about.

So, what you pointing out, is that it had more to do with region, than political party? Thank you for shedding light on that.

So, the racist Dems rushed over to the Republican party, after the Republican out voted the Democrats by 20%? Hey! I see how that makes sense. :lamo

he ended Segregation and ensured that black people could vote.

In 1968...that would make him a Liberal.

He supported Jim Crow laws, too. So did Robert Byrd.

I provided two links for you, with long articles explaining the Southern Strategy of the GOP.

it is very childish & ignorant of you to refuse to read articles provided to you as evidence.

don't ask questions & participate in debates if you are gonna then reject evidence presented to you.

I've read all about the southern startegy and no where does it quote anyone claiming that the reason for the southern strategy was to attract racist Democrats to the Republican party, because the Republicans are all racists.

It's weak to use the southern strategy as evidence that Republicans are racists; especially when a grand dragon of the ku klux klowns was a life long Democrat.

you are being dishonest, as NO ONE made that claim.

clearly, some Republicans are racist. That's why they had a strategy to lure dissaffected Southern Democrats to their party after the Civil Rights and Votings Rights Acts.

This is why the liberal notion that racist democrats became republicans is totally absurd. Its like saying Fred Phelps joined GLAAD , that blacks joined the KKK, that Code Pink signed up for the military or die hard feminist wearing a I heart Rush Limbaugh t-shirt.
 
apdst said:
And, that's a viable excuse...why?
Click to expand...
Did I say it was an "excuse"? You asked "why", I answered.

If 80% of the population is white, and if racism is more or less equal throughout the various races as we classify them, then it stands to reason that 80% of the incidents of racism is from whites. It also stands to reason that some people, apparently including yourself, would interpret that over-abundance of incidents as what we 'only' hear or what 'only' exists.
