That's a lovely story you keep telling yourself. Now consider this one. The Republicans have so far failed to nominate any black Presidential candidate. Who do you think will be the first black Presidential nominee? Why? When?Indeed it "is not reasonable or fair" to presume Republicans are racist "because the only viable black candidate of the time, didn't want the job". Yet that's your illogic and yours alone.WHat logic are you referring to?
IF the republicans were as racist as you claim, they would not have supported a potential Powell run for the office.
But they did.
Dismissing that, because POwell choose not to run, is not reasonable or fair. Or accurarte.
The support was real. The Republican voters were willing to support a black guy to be President.
Why are you so invested in this belief in republicans being "racist"?
It is a lovely story. Much nicer than the dystopian world you live in. So, why are you so intent on holding on to your story?
And really, it is not a lovely story either. It is a little sad. It would have been amusing if the republicans had managed to snake that milestone away from the dems, ie the First Black President, and see them try to hang on to their fantasy after that. But no. We got DOle instead. and just lost.
So, two stories. ONe a dystopian hell world, and another, a slightly sad and boring one.
Is that it? Is your story just more exciting for you? To be a brave social justice warrior fighting the good fight against evul racists, even if on some level you know it is all pretend?
Instead of just some guy who disagrees with some other people over boring politics? You get to have white hot self righteous rage coursing though your veins?!
