Republicans totally aren't racist

[CapnAwesome]

So not all Republicans are racist, but it does seem like all (or almost all) racists are Republicans.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to totally dispute this claim. I have serious doubts that say, the Nation of Islam, United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors, or New Black Panther Party have anything at all to do with the Republican Party.

A plurality of WHITE racists might identify as republicans, but overall racism in the US is as mixed as anything else.

The lie goes like this..............even though obama was born too a poor family during a time, when black people couldn't even vote, and interracial marriage was still illegal in many states, he had an easieer life then a multi-millionare senator's son, who went to an elementary school, who's tuition was double what the average american makes in a year...... just because he's black and black people get everything and the only reason why they're poor is because they (as a race) are degenerates and parasites

The stupid just goes so deep with these people.

Wait, so is that like his entire campaign? Does he actually say anything else?
Because that billboard tells me nothing about him other than his fondness for insulting other people.

The billboard is challenging Elizabeth Warren's honesty. In her campaign Warren claimed to be of Native American heritage, (to get hired on as a Harvard Law school professor). It was found that her claims lacked credibility. In otherwords, she lied about her Native American minority status to further her career..... thus her nickname, 'Fauxcahontas'

Obama wasn't born to a poor family. I don't know where anybody gets that from. His mother lived in Mercer Island and had a PHd in Athropology. His father was part of the Kenyan Aristocracy and political elite who went to Harvard. Maybe compared to Mitt Romney this is a 'poor family' but compared to the rest of the United States he was born to extreme privileged. I mean I don't dislike Obama, but I've never understood this little bit of propaganda.

I understand why rich fucks hate her, it's the trailer trash of the GOP base which does not know what side it is on.

Oh, right....Obama is black, isn't he.

He's only half black. The other half is white....hmmmm....George Zimmerman was referred to as a 'White Hispanic'. Would that make Obama a 'White African American'? hmmmm...

I accidently gave you a 'kudos' btw. I meant to click the reply button.

That's true; however, educated guess is that white racists outnumber black racists. I'll have to look that up to make sure, though.

And what she did to even have that photo taken is not racist?

Yeah, I mean I wasn't really trying to be too argumentative or anything. Actually some black supremacist groups are allied with white supremacist groups in the sense that both of them want their own states comprised entirely of their own race. Considering that pre-2001 Muslims were a solid republican voting group, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these groups had more conservative leanings.

I guess I just felt like pointing out not all racists are white.

on the article you gave in that link i read that she said: "these were family stories" wich were told her by her parents. if that version of her account is true and she realy thought of herself as part native and therefor gained the benefits she gained at harvard law school - there is no guilt on her - because it would not have qualified as a intentional fraud.

in that article Lenzy Krehbiel-Burton a spokesmen of the cherokee nation of oklahoma is quoted:
"There's a running joke in Indian country: If you meet somebody who you wouldn't necessarily think they're Native, but they say they're Native, chances are they'll tell you they're Cherokee"

so it seems to be a rather common thing that people claim to be cherokee not knowing that they are actualy repeating a family myth.
i met a lot of germans who claimed to be eastprussians, aswell as i know a lot of people who claim to own a part of rubble from the former berlin wall although it is well known that if you collect all suposed parts from the berlin wall in private ownership the wall would have reached from gibralta to moscow. past on family miyths are a very common thing.

but yes! there is a possibility that she intenionaly commited fraud, although i find that to be rather unlikely since her entire family seems to have believed that myth.

i would like to get to what is my criticism of that depiction.
i know a lot of carricatures in wich liars are made fun of (last year our minister of defence was found to have plagurised his doctoral research study, and had to resign)
a pinocio nose is probably the most common carricature of a liar, and i believe there are certainly various different ways to draw such a carricature.
but to depict her as a native american. well it is obvious that this can allude towards anti-native american sentiment.
and the creator of that depiction will have to face the accusations that that might have been his intention.
