Sad, indeed. On another thread, I suggested that the Republican party did not ascend into its present status, as a major instead of minor party, until it accepted the legacy of Jim Crow after the 1960's civil rights legislation. Nobody awake during that era can deny what happened. In the sourth, it was obvious; in the north, much more sutble but widespread nontheless. That was denied by some thread participants who suggested that it was wrong to label all Republicans racist, which is just the implication of this Republican transformation. When I came on this thread and read about the white Kerry, it was clear that many contributors to this and other threads are fundamentally racist. The clear language of racism evident in some responses proved my contention. Not everyone may have had such feelings, but most did. Sorry indeed that I now read responses to my earlier comments and all of a sudden, the language has become intellectualized racism including as well, a touch of old time caucasian eugenics. If this is what Bush tried to stir up by going to Jim Jones University, he certainly has succeeded. So did Reagan and Bush One before him. I would suppose that there many more red-necked intellectuals out there who feel the same way. So lets quit kidding ourselves about why we are Republicans or what is wrong with Kerry. What is right with Bush is that underneath the rhetoric, he will work for us lily whites, while shoveling the treasury to his rich corporate and wealthy friends. Don't get it, do you. The purpose of these 'front' issues, antiaffirmative action, gay marriage, Jesus freaking, is to divert attention from the party of the rich that Republicans really are, the minor political party that used to be minor, until.... No need to repeat myself.
