Do you agree the Republicans have more white racist and white supremacist supporters?

[Toronado3800]

I will answer this one yes.

In past threads I have talked about the flip in parties after the Wallace event and it seems folks from both sides do not want to claim George Wallace.

So I'll simply ask if it seems more white racists support the Republican party.

If anyone has links or studies on this I'd love to read them.

I suspect far fewer than the Democrats have Communist and anarchist supporters.

I won't go to racist sites--don't know how, to be honest. But I think it would be easy enough to check and see who is endorsing whom. We know David Duke, former Klan Grand Poobah, endorses Trump. The skinhead rally for Trump in California that resulted in some broken heads was in concert with the Klan.
It would be hard to imagine a white supremacist feeling comfortable in the Democratic Party, with their political correctness and all.

I don't think that's a current endorsement, TN, unless all they say about the Democratic Dead voting is true....

Racism is a belief. If you believe that a race is so inferior as to be unable to survive without the help of a white government, you just might be a racist.

Now, which party thinks that blacks need special help in order to survive in America today?


I don't think it is the GOP....

The documentary "13th" is worth a view on this as it pertains to how we got where we are with mass incarceration and the return to profiting from bondage and slave labor in our privatized prison system. Hint: it was all very bipartisan and corporate driven.

In my opinion these which-party/candidate-is-more-racist questions are a ruse, or at the very least, pointless. The battles against racism to be waged in American society now are not against individual racists per se, but rather against the pervasive institutionalized and systemic racism, classism, and sexism that still persists from the very founding.

"Law and order" is coded language. If you think you're not on the menu as tensions rise and the economy continues to be based upon societal wealth extraction, you're dead wrong. The power structure finds you useful, but only until you question.

But think about it, historically, what has this system invariably done with populations it finds either in the way or unnecessary?

does this mean the democrats have all the non-white racists?....

The democrat party is the home of racism...of all colors...every core group of the party is racist...la raza...racist hispanics, black lies matter, black racists, NAACP, black racists, Congressional Black Caucus, black racists......bill clinton was good friends and called j. willaim fulbright, a racist, his personal friend an mentor....and awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.....just released emails show hilary clinton said blacks, muslims and Roma do not succeed no matter what their circumstances....and obama sat in a openly and proudly racist church for 20 years...

The democrat party is and has always been the party of racism....

[320 Years of History]

The Sahara of the Bozart, bunghole of the United States, a cesspool of Baptists, a miasma of Methodism, snake charmers, phony real estate dealers, and syphilitic evangelists.
-- H.L. Mencken​

The evolution and growth of racism and Republicans' tacit approbation of it within their party is well documented.

• Construction of the Racist Republican
  
  "General Colin Powell, a former secretary of state who served his country in multiple Republican cabinets including Ronald Reagan’s said in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, 'There’s also a dark… vein of intolerance in some parts of the [Republican] Party…. [Republicans] still sort of look down on minorities.'”
  
  "American politics is a shifting miasma of vision, persuasive appeals, and outright pandering. As Barack Obama has explained, the Left and the Right spin tales 'not to persuade the other side but to keep their bases agitated and assured of the rightness of their respective causes—and lure just enough new adherents to beat the other side into submission.' Indeed, to his point, there have been times in the history in which both Republicans and Democrats have courted voters disgruntled about racial issues to forward political agendas. Half a century ago, though he was not a racist, Barry Goldwater’s “Southern strategy” certainly contributed to the rift that still exists between the GOP and black voters because it aligned his campaign with segregationists. Even after the South’s racial attitudes were more comfortably integrated with the rest of the United States, sincere clashes in ideologies—and some inept positioning on the part of Ronald Reagan—did not heal that rift."
  
  
• Lee Atwater’s Infamous 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy
  
• Is the Republican Party Racist?
  
• Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes -- Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact
  
• Are Smart People Less Racist? Cognitive Ability, Anti-Black Prejudice, and the Principle-Policy Paradox
  
  "If racism is ultimately about “a dominant group striving to maintain its systemic advantages” against “minorities fighting to subvert the status quo,” then the results of this study suggest that highly intelligent whites have simply become more sophisticated racists than less intelligent whites."
  
  
• Do Racism, Conservatism, and Low I.Q. Go Hand in Hand? Lower cognitive abilities predict greater prejudice through right-wing ideology.
  
• The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism
  
  "Racial resentment stokes Tea Party fears about generational societal change, and fuels the Tea Party’s strong opposition to President Obama."

The findings documented in the studies referenced above, though likely not understood from the critically academic context in which they are detailed therein, are surely sensed by the racists who we today observe have flocked to the GOP and ardently endorsed Donald Trump. To that end, it's not surprising that the South Mencken described is the bulwark of Republican fervor.

What does that have to do with Byrd? And what does the color or heritage of particular people have to do with their political class? Guaranteed any member of the KKK right now is not going to see their ideals align with the base of the Democratic Party which, RIGHT NOW, includes:

1. Affirmative Action
2. Multiculturalism
3. Against voter ID
4. For increasing Syrian refugee migration into the country
5. Against mandatory minimums for non-violent drug offenders
6. Against Islamophobia

And on and on...

Might not be true, but I have seen it reported ALOT. Maybe you can refute it?
