This is the real definition of racism.
Full Definition of racism

David Duke is a racist, by the above definition. Not the made up crap you lefties use.
When he ran for the Presidential GOP nomination he got less than 1%.
That gives you an idea of how many on the "Right" embrace racism.
Those of you who lie about it should be ashamed of yourselves.
His defeat is not a reflection of the weakness of racism. That is a false criteria created by you that meanings nothing. We see racism on the Right and Left on this board every day.
YOu see what you want to see. It makes it easy for you to dismiss ideas that you cannot defeat based on their merits.
And you posted his "good" showing in the governor's race to support your claim of strong racism.
YOU posted words from the Republican President of the United States attacking the supposed "republican" running to be governor of a state and disowning him.
Was there ANY outcry from anyone on the Right for his actions? Calling him a Rhino, for example?
Did Jesse Helms speak out in favor of David Duke? Did Strom Thurmond?
I recall NO debate or disagreement of the issue from the Right that Duke had to lose.
Because he was an ACTUAL REAL LIFE racist and as such had no place in the Republican Party.
