For 8 years the right has been called racist.

[Spare_change]

The constant use of the Race Card creates Confirmation Bias in dems and minorities to the point that they see racism everywhere, especially where it is not.

again, science supports the claim that racial animus fueled the tea party.

Oh? Interesting statement .... based in just exactly what?

There is nothing factual about the claim that the Tea Party was racist, but facts have no place in your party. You seek to destroy enemies of the party using any and all means.

How Racial Threat Has Galvanized the Tea Party

Are Tea Partiers Racist?

Study: Tea Party supporters more likely to exhibit racism

What social science tells us about racism in the Republican party

you were saying?

based on science

... and just exactly what science supports your point of view? The closest I've been able to come is to the reference of "social science" (which, in fact, is not science at all) suggests racism influence SOME support for Trump (just as we can readily admit racism influenced SOME support for Obama).

you didn't read the links

Great non-answer. I did, in fact, read the links, and they do not support your claim.

The KKK endorsed Trump.

No one is making anything up, this is a large part of the Republican base.

16 million people voted for Trump in the primaries ---- there are 5000 - 8000 members of the KKK nationwide. Here's How Big the KKK is in 2016

That means, at most, 0.03125% of Trump supporters (who voted) were KKK members.

I would suggest that probably doesn't qualify as "... a large part of the Republican base."

So you're just a racist pile of shit. You hate others based on skin color.

Very common among you shameful democrats.

I love myself. I am white. I am just not stupid like the morons who deny racism against blacks for the last 400 years in America.

Trump is one of those idiots. And so are most of the Trump supporters posting in this thread.

No one denies its past ... but some, most assuredly, question the level of impact on modern day politics and society.

Just because the impact is less doesn't make it nonexistent. Indeed, not allowing ex-felons to vote are Jim Crow laws. Those laws in the south were nearly all passed in the 1890s, specifically to disenfranchise black voters. And given they had a million crazy ways to keep blacks from registering to vote, guess what that meant for juries?

They were all white, because they came he pool of registered voters. Sooo, how many living black ex-felons there are who were convicted by UNCONSTITUTIONAL all white juries?

Even ONE is too many. But there are tens of thousands.

What do you call a person who doesn't support overturning those Jim Crow laws.

I call them racists.

I call them that because they are.

If you can't win an election without cheating black people, they find another country.

Similarly, how many felonies by whites against blacks were there among white voters who are still alive?

That is a problem we have no way of fixing at this point.

Racism has become a convenient foil when not willing to admit error.

bullshit.

Are you suggesting we should allow felons to vote?

10s of thousands ---- you, of course, have some proof of that, right? Right? Oh -- you don't?

Democratic Party harbors racists - in fact, the Dem party was created on a foundation of racism.

"One is too many .... " You mean, one like the Grand Wizard of the KKK who endorsed Hillary? Or, maybe you mean the Black Lives Matter movement, whose secondary goal is to trivialize white lives? You DO realize, right, that it was Democrats that created those Jim Crow laws, right?

Racism is simply the nuclear bomb liberals drag out of the kitchen drawer when they realize they are losing the philosophical battle. You do a great disservice to blacks when you throw it around willy nilly.

a collection of opinions printed in magazines and newspapers are 'science'?

for fucks sake - they were articles about scientific studies

Go back and read them ... science is the application of definitives ... notice how many words like "some", "most" "potentially" and "may" are in there. That makes them opinions - not scientific facts.

 

[Spare_change]

Now if Hillary is elected that meme will change to sexist.
Liberals just can't fathom that people vehemently disagree with their positions. Their tunnel vision blinds them completely to the fact that their train of thought is but one narrow view of the world.

For 8 years the Right wing has declared that none of the attacks against Barack Obama have been because of race.

Conservatives just won't admit that there are actual racists who attack President Obama because of his skin color. Their tunnel vision blinds them completely to the fact that their train of thought is but one narrow view of the status quo.

You regressives keep making these claims with no specific examples, why?

Here's the problem . You righties are oblivious to most forms of racism . Not your fault . But unless it's a burning cross on a lawns, it won't register on your radar !

For example , you don't see the birther stuff as racism.

Ok --- let's talk about the birther stuff (you know, the stuff raised first by the Clinton campaign staffers)

Just exactly what is racist about insisting verification of a candidate's eligibility to run for office? Or, could it possibly be your hypersensitivity to race that makes you think it was raised because Obama was black? (I would suggest that makes YOU the racist)

Are you suggesting we should allow felons to vote?

They are Ex-felons. And OF COURSE they should be allowed to vote. ALL laws in the south that disenfranchised ex-felons were JIM CROW voting laws passed in the late 19th century, specifically to disenfranchise black voters.

 

[Spare_change]

For 8 years the right has attempted to avoid accountability for their bigoted, hate fueled rhetoric by accusing liberals of overplaying the race card. For 8 years the right has proved wholly inadequate for the task of demonstrating these accusations are worth the time it takes to spew them.

Looks like the zero accountability party intends to play off their previous 'success' by doing the same with their hate fueled, misogynous rhetoric for the next 8 years.

What a surprise.

Damn!!!!

The Nonsense Alarm just went off ... this thread is officially filled to overflowing with stupidity and nonsense.

That's the only answer you have? Don't you give any thought whatsoever to what you're going to post?

.... tell me, just exactly why somebody who has disrespected our rule of law should be able to select those who define and apply our rule of law.

(By the way - they aren't EX-felons. They are still felons. They committed a felony. Period. The fact that they served their sentence does not change the fact that they broke the law. For further proof, go to www.dictionary.com - the word EX-felon doesn't even exist.)

ALL laws? Wow, that's a lot of laws .... you, of course, are talking about those laws created by your Democratic Party apparatchiks,, right?

Sorry, dumbass, this has been shone to be a lie, too many times to count.

Furthermore, that alleged inquiry was long before Hawaii verified and validated Obama’s Hawaiian birth and his birth certificate. Hawaii verified this in October of 2008.

That made Obama immutably a Hawaiian born American citizen.

So why did you skanks and Trump pretend that the constitution was irrelevant and it could be rightly challenged by a jackass, racist billionaire, If the person being so challenged was black?

Do you hate our constitution applying to black people?

I don't give a shit about the law in Iowa. I do care about the one in Florida, though. If the Jim Crow law wasn't still on the books, guess who would have been president in 2001.

Are you that fucking stupid?
Juries are selected from the pool of registered voters. Disenfranchised black voters were not on juries. Ergo, virtually every jury in Deep South before voting rights act of 1965 was white.

There are tens of thousands of blacks who were convicted of felonies in 1965 or before. They have been unjustly disenfranchised in every election of your lifetime. Ergo, you are a cheater and you support racist cheaters in EVERY election.

That is unconstitutional. And those verdicts are pretty much meaningless. And you can play games and say those verdicts were okay, but that is racist thuggery at its best to say so. Because we all know you would not call an all black jury, a black judge, and black prosecutors convicting you of a crime you didn't commit very meaningful.

Here is a question for you. How many whites were convicted of murdering a black person from 1877 to 1966 in the south?

I explained why Mr. Papers Please Billionaire was a racist jackass during his birther charade. And now you want to change the subject.

We're seeing racism and misogyny everywhere in the Republican party. There is no denying it.

Trying to cry foul--and say OH no we're not like that, is actually laughable.



An open letter to Donald Trump from a NEVER TRUMPER.

For the past few months I’ve spent a good deal of time lamenting your campaign and the poison it has so effortlessly generated. I’ve watched our country imploding, our public discourse become polluted, our
political climate grow ever more corrosive, and wrongly assumed you were to blame.

It’s only lately I’ve come to understand that you haven’t manufactured our current national ugliness—you’ve simply revealed it.

By saying the irresponsitble, mean-spirited, ignorant things you say so freely and so frequently, you’ve given other like-minded people license to do the same. You’ve opened up the floodgates for our corporate sewage
to flow fully. People no longer conceal their vile mess, they now revel in it, they broadcast it and retweet it.

You’ve made bigotry and misogyny socially acceptable again and that has been a kind of twisted gift because it’s allowed me to really see people; not as they pretend to be on the surface—but in the very depths of their
wounded, weaponized hearts.

Over and over as your campaign has persisted, your supporters would tell me that they like you because you “speak your mind”. It wasn’t until recently that I’ve realized that you speak their minds. You’ve given credence to their prejudices and made those prejudices go mainstream.

Thanks to the terrible ground you’ve broken, politicians, pastors, friends, and strangers, both in person and on social media now regularly out themselves as hateful, intolerant, and malicious—the sickness runs deep.

You’ve emboldened people to be open about things they used to conceal for the sake of decorum. In other words, you’ve let us know what we’re really dealing with here and while it’s been rightly disturbing, it’s also been revealatory. That’s the thing about that kind of harsh light: you’re forced to see everything. Beauty and monstrosity equally illuminated.

I think you’re the least qualified, least knowledgeable Presidential candidate we may ever have had participate this far into the process, and if you somehow are elected I’ll fear gravely for the world my children would inherit—should it survive your Presidency at all. I believe you’re reckless, bitter, and completely reprehensible; the very worst kind of bully.

But whether you win or lose, you’ve already allowed me the blessing of Truth; about you, about our nation, about people I once thought were friends. I’ve received many private messages threatening me, supporters of yours telling me to kill myself and I have been so verbally insulted by your supporters that I can no longer find words to express this level of hate.

All this because I won’t “fall in line.” Yeah, what a “great movement” you claim to have created. Count me out… In the process you’ve also shown me that I am not alone in resisting you and this ugly thing you’ve revealed about us. You’ve generated an equally loud, equally passionate response to it and this is where I find my hope these days.

I find it in those for whom equality isn’t just a cheap buzzword, it’s the most precious of hills to die on.

I find it in those people who refuse to be silent in the face of our impending shared regression. I find it in those willing to be bolder in defending the inherent value of all people. I find it in the growing army of those who will not tolerate hatred as a core American value. I find it in those who reject violence as our default response to
dissension. I find it in the ever rising voice of people who will not let malice and bitterness represent them in the world.

Today I find my hope in those who, like me, will not be complicit in allowing bigotry, misogyny and intolerance become a source of national pride, because we’ve seen where that leads.

Yes, Mr Trump, you’ve unearthed our hidden sickness and you’ve allowed it to go viral. You brought every awful thing about us out into the open.

You will NEVER Get My Vote…
