"NYC: More Black Babies Killed by Abortion Than Born " This is so sad

Anytime a groups stated mission is to help only one race that is a racist group.

I think you're mistaken. That is not racism. By that definition would a woman's group be sexist? Would a group that is providing to support to poor community members be practicing classism? Those groups are formed for members of the community with specific needs. Racism would be if they excluded white people because they felt the black people were inherently superior.

I have no idea where you got that from. I make over 100K a year and I vote democrat. I never said that our communities didn't have issues. What I am trying to tell you Is that YOU CAN'T REACH OUT TO A GROUP IF YOU DO NOT GO AND TALK TO THEM AND OFFER BETTER SOLUTIONS WITHOUT TALKING AT THEM. But for some strange reason you do not understand that.

If you righties put half the energy that you waste on suppressing our votes into opening up a dialogue then you will probably be in better situation with minorities.


And by the way, its not like it is just blacks that don't like you guys. How did you guys do with the minority vote in the last election?

I see it's pointless to attempt to carry on a meaningful conversation with you. I will leave and let you continue to play into the stereotypes you've created for yourselves. Good luck! :applaud

And what is going on there? The Republicans tell the Cuban-Americans how Republicans hate Communism, how they stand opposed to property being expropriated, how their policy is to work to end Communism in Cuba. Is any of that policy designed to benefit only Cubans?

I think that ending Communism in Cuba would mainly benefit Cubans, yes. What part of their policy is designed to end it?

racism - definition of racism by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

rac·ism (rā′sĭz′əm)
n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Talk to mirriam webster about it i guess.

Yea i know its hard for people to admit that.
NAACP
La Raza
are racist groups but they are!

any group that aspires to only help a certain race or ethnic group(s) are racist groups. Al sharpton and and jessie jackson are extremely racist men but you wont believe that either.
You also will not believe that there is more racism against white people in todays world.

Plenty of Republicans understand this point but realize that following through likely won't bear any fruit.

Republicans build their party on a different foundation than Democrats. Democrats design policies which appeal to group identity - policies designed for blacks, for Hispanics, where your racial identity qualifies you for special benefits like preferential hiring, preferential admission to university, preferential grants or hiring for small business owners, etc. Republicans follow another strategy - they favor policies which attract all comers regardless of group identity. If you like the policy of less business regulation, then come and join the Republicans. If you like a pro-marriage policy, then come and join the Republicans. It doesn't matter who you are, you become a supporter based on the appeal of a policy or a set of policies.

Therein lies the problem - how do Republicans attract black and Hispanic voters without abandoning their philosophy of not crafting policies which appeal to people based on their race or ethnicity? The only way to entice more blacks and Hispanics to join the Republicans is to become like Democrats and that's a losing contest, because Democrats are always going to be better at bribing voters based on group identity.

I disagree

Blacks by nature do not trust the government. We are also most likely the most Christian conservative race in America. Those two attributes right there is a good starting point.


Chris Christie had open dialogue with blacks in New Jersey and what his approval rating was with blacks before this whole bridge thing started?

31% (In a blue state)

It's not racist, it's, according to "progressives", discriminatory. This is why the "enlightened" administrators at many universities are compelling Christian groups to admit Atheists and Muslims and Homosexuals into their groups and allow these people to run for leadership positions even though they don't qualify as Christian or adhere to Christian teachings. To be discriminatory, is in the minds of "progressives" something bad.

Embargo, travel restrictions, diplomatic isolation.
 
It seems like every now and then the forum gets on Stormfront's list, and sometimes they come here making backassward messages thinking they are cleverly poising anti-bigotry messages as their vehicle of expressing their bigotries. They think they are clever. It is apparent to the rest of us.

You are still not properly understanding the definition of racism.
You may be able to accuse those groups of being discriminating but not racist. There intent is not to maintain power at the expense of others based on the assumption that theirs is inherently superior.

ANY GROUP THAT PERTAINS TO HELPING ONLY ONE RACE OR ETHNICITY IS A RACIST GROUP.

can you not see the definition.

Obviously you do not want to admit they are racist groups. Discriminating or racist EITHER WAY its still illegal!! So you just admitted those groups do illegal things.:applaud

You can't selectively define what racism means. Look again at the definition that votemout posted. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. Votemout's point is that a white person can't join NAACP and run for leadership because he is white. This means that the 2nd definition applies. NAACP discriminates based on race. This qualifies them as racist.

Yes, tell human beings not to perform their most basic of biological urges is certainly just too darned sensible. There is certainly no flaw in the idea that just telling people to not have sex will cause them to not have sex, no ma'am. Especially teenagers. Telling teenagers not to do something is just so incredibly sensible and effective, it absolutely has the effect of not making them want to do that thing more than ever.

Did I say anything about not having sex? Like everybody, they have access to FREE birth control. So what's the excuse for having so many unwanted pregnancies?

How do you know that they are not allowed to run for leadership positions?
