Are Republicans racist???

[CapnAwesome]

More fuel for the partisan shit-fire.

Why?

I think that your name is well chosen.

[Strider]

There isn't a single party that has a monopoly on racists. I know racists who vote as Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians. I live in Mississippi so believe me when I say I know racists.

[Minimalist]

Republicans agree with racists, and racists agree with Republicans

Progressives are racist for implementing policies which keep minorities poor and disadvantaged

Yeah, Woodie. We should probably just line up with you and shoot the motherfuckers and put them out of their misery.

You moron.

Why?

Good question.

[simplemoss]

Why?

Good question.

I think so


Why are your goals of "reaching across the isle" more important than solving racism in the USA???

Everytime white supremacy is in the news repeblican senators and congressman and of corse FOX follow in lock step with whatever the white racist side has too say. Democrats fall in line with everyone else.

The USA was founded on white supremacy. We are everyday, not only victim too subconscious racism but organized militant racist organizations like the KKK, who are labeled a terrorist organization by the federal government.

Yet the police arrests anti facist protesters for protesting at a kkk rally.

And every single time Republicans are in lock step behind the KKK, the nazis, the white supremacists. Why is it not fair too bring this up?

Don't think I've come across a liberal racist so far.

Then you have been willfully not looking. If you limit your social circle to boring, guilt ridden white liberals, then yes you probably won't run into many racists. If you talk to a black panther who has socialist beliefs, you might find some liberal racists.

Yeah you're probably right. Typically all my friends are white and completely bland. And I haven't been searching for racists recently on my excursions. Perhaps I'll take a trip to the US and seek them out.

Firstly, assuming that all Republicans are racist is fatuous. Secondly, conflating that with unsourced police actions is not only unsupported, it confuses the issue at hand. Thridly, you write "And every single time Republicans are in lock step behind the KKK, the nazis, the white supremacists" -- which means that one and only one example is needed to undercut your point.

Weak argument, presented poorly.

Finally, you completely ignored the point that not all racism is white-on-minority racism.

Yeah you're probably right. Typically all my friends are white and completely bland. And I haven't been searching for racists recently on my excursions. Perhaps I'll take a trip to the US and seek them out.

I couldn't watch the video -- I'm at work, and this computer is soundless -- but I'm pretty sure that racism is a phenomenon in all peoples, and not limited to any one nation or ethnicity.

If you'd like, I'll look up some instances for you; but I trust you see my point.

My entire contribution to this thread has been in humor.

You guys need to remember first that I'm British, and second that our first language is sarcasm

The video is from the British/Irish comedy Father Ted. you should watch it when you're not at work as it's probably one of the funniest comedies ever made.

Are all Republicans racist? Probably not.

Are many of them? Unequivocally.

Is racism a foundation upon which many of the Republican Party's policies are constructed? There can be no question about it.

Progressives are racist for implementing policies which keep minorities poor and disadvantaged

Conservatives are racist because they think having a dark skin makes you stupid enough to fall for that lie.
