Your response is not warranted.
You did not put thought into it.
It is true. The more the left plays on republican racism, the more the base gets stirred up.
You see, what you originally said was your opinion. It is not based on fact for you are not a republican so you don't know for sure if republicans need to believe in racial superiority.
However, it is proven that when democrats bring up racism, it does rile up the base and thus why "supposed" republican racism is found in ads and spoken at fund raisers.
So the truth is, what you said was not factual....but the response you criticized was spot on.
Now...think about it before you knee jerk respond.
wow! another denier in action.
in my experience the only time people defend their pov this hard is when it's wrong and are to stubborn to or embarrassed to change it
Public Policy Polling released a survey last week that should cause stomachs to churn throughout polite society; among Republican primary voters in Mississippi, 46% of respondents believe that interracial marriage should not be legal.
Let’s set aside for a moment the question of whether or not this is a uniquely Republican problem, and deduce the basic message: nearly half of the poll’s respondents believe a marriage should be criminalized based simply on the skin color of its partners. Combined with 14% of those who said they were “not sure”, you have an astounding 60% of Mississippi Republicans believing that marriage between members of two different races may be a criminal act.
Mississippi GOP?s Embarrassing Interracial Fears
Not all Republicans are racists but it would be folly not to argue that most racists in the United States are Republicans. The Grand Old PartyÂ’s stance on racial and gender inequality has been a hallmark of the Republican Party since the early 1950s. But it wasnÂ’t always that way.
Scholars debate when exactly the tides turned and the Democratic and Republican Parties morphed into the ones we know today, yet no presidential historian of merit can argue that the Republican Party of the 1860s and the Republican Party of today are in any way related other than name.
A far right wing pundit could weave tenuous factual threads from the past and present into a blanket confirmation-bias argument, however the reason the current G.O.P. still banners Lincoln as their political patriarch is, simply put: human rights. And had Lincoln been a flag-waver for statesÂ’ rights (which is one of the tenets of the current Republican Party), the U.S. would have been cleaved irretrievably into two countries.
