The snowball effect of ignorance and politics....shame on you all!!

[tigerred59]

What the GOP-igs, the racist bastards that they are, what they are attempting to do is snowball and once again create divide in this country with this obsurbness of now wanting to remove everything that's racist in this country, but WHITE PEOPLE themselves...(now that's a problem solved)!! Mitch McConnell the biggest racist in Ky, is now calling for the removal of Jefferson Davis from the state capital. Now, just about every damned thing in Ky. is named after the man and now this boozo, this clown this useless turkey neck white **** is trying to bring chaos and mayham to a state of redneck ignorant hillbillies who live and breath confederate shit.

I am sooooo convinced that white people in this country, despite all the gains of electing our first black president are slowly becoming unglued and desperate. And if ever the mental health industry needed a boost, its now, because this country is on the brink of becoming one big cesspool of nuts!!

This country just needs to get rid of all the white people.

No, what this country needs to do is get real with white people and stop placing these people on pedestals of superiority and judge them for what they are. Not all white people are racist, but I will tell you this, if you support the GOP-igs, chances are your a damned racist, own it and keep it moving!!

These people on pedestals are the people that helped shape this country. Morons like you refuse to accept the fact that the racist party was the Democrats not the Republicans.

The political enforcement of Jim Crow was entirely in Democratic hands. The Ku Klux Klan functioned as the paramilitary wing of the Democratic party, and it was used to drive Republicans out of the South after the Civil War.

While Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” is constantly referenced in the media as a tool to attract white voters, less well remembered are Woodrow Wilson’s segregation of the entire federal civil service; FDR’s appointment of a member of the KKK to the Supreme Court; John F. Kennedy’s apathy toward civil-rights legislation; and the rise of Robert Byrd, a former member of the KKK, to the post of Democratic leader in the Senate in the 1980s.

Is it fair to remind people of the awful historical antecedents that can lurk within a political party? The study quotes author Bruce Bartlett as asking, “If the Republican party is to bear responsibility for Joe McCarthy through all time, why doesn’t the Democratic party have to bear responsibility for a century of racist leaders?”

The Truth About Jim Crow The American Civil Rights Union

NEWS FLASH.....BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE ORIGINATORS OF CREATING WEALTH FOR THIS COUNTRY...IT WAS CALLED SLAVERY. AND NO WHITE MAN OR WOMAN LABORED OR TOILED THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT PAY, THAN THAT OF SLAVES OF MY PEOPLE. WITHOUT MY PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OF COLOR, THERE WOULD BE NO RAIL ROADS, NO MILLIONAIRES, NO AMERICA!! OUR LABOR BUILT THIS COUNTRY!!

FFS, they picked cotton. That is not building a country.

(sigh).....uh, the wealth that these plantation owners achieved are the direct result of generations being able to pass on this wealth to future innovators of this nation, like the Vanderbuilts, Morgans, etc....please educate yourself before you send for me, I'm busy!!

 

[Darkwind]

Why would I even consider what a racist like you has to say when it comes to matters of race? Clearly, you are unable to think....er...think clearly....no, strike that...I was right the first time...

Get back to Me when your outrage and vitriol threaten to cause a stroke. I want to see that.

it takes a racist to know one, how's it going partner?

LMAO....

So damn easy to push the buttons...

 

[Lonestar_logic]

It's easy to demonize white people for what appears to be a myriad of denial about their varying racial resentments.

Conservatives especially, who can view self reflection as a weakness.

I personally find it childish for white people to be the first in the room to become outraged about anything racial, when throughout America's history, the racism they have institutionalized has been far more damaging to non whites in terms of outcomes, than racism practiced by any other racial demographic.

That's right...I went there...racism from whites is more potent, that that of non whites.

I think that concept is a huge part of both the denial by whites, and also that applies to white wine Liberals who champion the cause of racial equality, but still clutch their purses, or cross the street, when a non white approaches them.

Ego defense for white people will always include a demon of their own creation that isn't anybody but themselves. For conservatives these days, it's the liberal who wants blacks to be poor, to cultivate their votes. For liberals, it's the traditional neo confederate-post segregation racist.

I myself, had a seminal moment regarding my own racism, when in 1995, I was in a Supermarket, and guarding the shopping cart that had my sister's purse. White people walked by, and it didn't change my approach to my duty. Then without really thinking about it, I caught myself pulling the cart closer to myself when a black couple walked by. It was not a conscious act. But I noticed it.

A liberal in denial might not have noticed what they did, and a conservative in denial might say it was street smarts.

You may see white people becoming unglued and desperate, but that's the reaction any race would display when being called out on their own BS.

Black on white crime verses white on black crime flies in the face of your implication that whites are more racist than blacks.

I didn't say whites are more racist than blacks...I said racism practiced by whites is more potent in terms of outcomes, or to be more specific, tangible disadvantages, than the same amount of racism practiced by non whites.

Here is an example...

Throughout segregation days, black racism didn't prevent whites from buying a house in a black neighborhood, but white racism prevented blacks from buying houses in white neighborhoods

Is it the same today? NO. And it's because of the efforts of the Republican party (rich old white men).

What you're referring to is Jim Crow laws, which ended when the Republicans overwhelming voted for the Civil rights Act.

You may see white people becoming unglued and desperate, but that's the reaction any race would display when being called out on their own BS.

OK you admit to be a racist, good for you.

What exactly did you read in post #8 you felt was racism? Pointing out that the democrat party indeed was and, in my opinion still, the party of racism?

The truth is that you example of racism is just human nature, or natural. You may not believe it but "birds of a feather do flock together." That is the natural tendency that needs to be modified in people. There is nothing racist about understanding or pointing out the truth. You may have also pulled the cart a little closer if a biker's gang walked by. Fear of the unknown is natural and can be changed.

Shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) was a self-made multi-millionaire who became one of the wealthiest Americans of the 19th century. As a boy, he worked with his father, who operated a boat that ferried cargo between Staten Island, New York, where they lived, and Manhattan. After working as a steamship captain, Vanderbilt went into business for himself in the late 1820s, and eventually became one of the country’s largest steamship operators. In the process, the Commodore, as he was publicly nicknamed, gained a reputation for being fiercely competitive and ruthless. In the 1860s, he shifted his focus to the railroad industry, where he built another empire and helped make railroad transportation more efficient. When Vanderbilt died, he was worth more than $100 million.

John Pierpont "J.P." Morgan (April 17, 1837 – March 31, 1913) was an American financier, banker, philanthropist and art collector who dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation during his time. In 1892, Morgan arranged the merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric. After financing the creation of the Federal Steel Company, he merged it in 1901 with the Carnegie Steel Company and several other steel and iron businesses, including Consolidated Steel and Wire Company, owned by William Edenborn, to form the United States Steel Corporation.

Connecting these two to slavery is quite a stretch.

How do you get from wanting to remove statues that honor the fight for slavery to that being racist? How does that thought process work? And I am NOT defending McConnell, just wondering.

The statue has been there since 1936, so it appears there has not been a lot of “wonder” over it for quite some time.

Once South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) capitulated to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and those who blamed the Confederate flag for the actions of the alleged Charleston gunman Dylann Roof, other Republicans around the country began to fold in a bizarre game of blame the flag or—as McConnell, Bevin, and Stivers are playing it—blame the statue.

That's my point, what the GOP is doing and what crazy white people are doing and n*** who are adding fuel to the crazies is making Obama and this country look bad, so that the GOP will come along and start saying to the nuts, I can make america one great country again, I can calm all the crazy white people down, just elect me.

Shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) was a self-made multi-millionaire who became one of the wealthiest Americans of the 19th century. As a boy, he worked with his father, who operated a boat that ferried cargo between Staten Island, New York, where they lived, and Manhattan. After working as a steamship captain, Vanderbilt went into business for himself in the late 1820s, and eventually became one of the country’s largest steamship operators. In the process, the Commodore, as he was publicly nicknamed, gained a reputation for being fiercely competitive and ruthless. In the 1860s, he shifted his focus to the railroad industry, where he built another empire and helped make railroad transportation more efficient. When Vanderbilt died, he was worth more than $100 million.

John Pierpont "J.P." Morgan (April 17, 1837 – March 31, 1913) was an American financier, banker, philanthropist and art collector who dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation during his time. In 1892, Morgan arranged the merger of Edison General Electric and Thomson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric. After financing the creation of the Federal Steel Company, he merged it in 1901 with the Carnegie Steel Company and several other steel and iron businesses, including Consolidated Steel and Wire Company, owned by William Edenborn, to form the United States Steel Corporation.

Connecting these two to slavery is quite a stretch.

slavery was the engine of American economic growth...all the wealth of this nation from 1776 to present stemmed from slavery....and Morgan, Vandy, Edison, etc...all products of slave wealth.

To convince anyone you will need to post some facts not your opinion. Most of the wealth up to the emancipation proclamation was concentrated in the free north. The south did rely heavily on slave labor but it hardly built the country nor gained the wealth for any of those who built America. Unless you can show otherwise.

What the GOP-igs, the racist bastards that they are, what they are attempting to do is snowball and once again create divide in this country with this obsurbness of now wanting to remove everything that's racist in this country, but WHITE PEOPLE themselves...(now that's a problem solved)!! Mitch McConnell the biggest racist in Ky, is now calling for the removal of Jefferson Davis from the state capital. Now, just about every damned thing in Ky. is named after the man and now this boozo, this clown this useless turkey neck white **** is trying to bring chaos and mayham to a state of redneck ignorant hillbillies who live and breath confederate shit.

I am sooooo convinced that white people in this country, despite all the gains of electing our first black president are slowly becoming unglued and desperate. And if ever the mental health industry needed a boost, its now, because this country is on the brink of becoming one big cesspool of nuts!!

This country just needs to get rid of all the white people.

No, what this country needs to do is get real with white people and stop placing these people on pedestals of superiority and judge them for what they are. Not all white people are racist, but I will tell you this, if you support the GOP-igs, chances are your a damned racist, own it and keep it moving!!

How do you get from wanting to remove statues that honor the fight for slavery to that being racist? How does that thought process work? And I am NOT defending McConnell, just wondering.

The statue has been there since 1936, so it appears there has not been a lot of “wonder” over it for quite some time.

Once South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) capitulated to Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and those who blamed the Confederate flag for the actions of the alleged Charleston gunman Dylann Roof, other Republicans around the country began to fold in a bizarre game of blame the flag or—as McConnell, Bevin, and Stivers are playing it—blame the statue.

That's my point, what the GOP is doing and what crazy white people are doing and n*** who are adding fuel to the crazies is making Obama and this country look bad, so that the GOP will come along and start saying to the nuts, I can make america one great country again, I can calm all the crazy white people down, just elect me.

You didn't answer, how do you connect wishing to remove a symbol of slavery as racist. That is what you said. If you had said that McConnell is just playing to the crowd and doesn't really care then I would agree.

Okay, he's playing the race card, next?

I think it's more likely the white people who put em in office are having some buyers remorse.

These people on pedestals are the people that helped shape this country. Morons like you refuse to accept the fact that the racist party was the Democrats not the Republicans.

The political enforcement of Jim Crow was entirely in Democratic hands. The Ku Klux Klan functioned as the paramilitary wing of the Democratic party, and it was used to drive Republicans out of the South after the Civil War.

While Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” is constantly referenced in the media as a tool to attract white voters, less well remembered are Woodrow Wilson’s segregation of the entire federal civil service; FDR’s appointment of a member of the KKK to the Supreme Court; John F. Kennedy’s apathy toward civil-rights legislation; and the rise of Robert Byrd, a former member of the KKK, to the post of Democratic leader in the Senate in the 1980s.

Is it fair to remind people of the awful historical antecedents that can lurk within a political party? The study quotes author Bruce Bartlett as asking, “If the Republican party is to bear responsibility for Joe McCarthy through all time, why doesn’t the Democratic party have to bear responsibility for a century of racist leaders?”

What a stupid moron. Only a fraction of whites owned slaves. Also my retarded friend, there were many whites who were in fact slaves and treated as badly as blacks. But hey, keep living your lie.

That dont jive with the victim mentality.

The United states flag will be next, the original flag of slavery.
