They've Always Been 'Racists'

Okay, PoliticalChic, I'll check back in the morning to see if you're still running.

You need to get your algorithm tweaked or something. You went completely off the rails a while back here.

And while you're at it, you may want to see if your programmer can make you a little more "lifelike".

Just a suggestion!
.
I see you've dug a hole with your pathetic equivocation in this thread that you just can't get out of, and at this point you sound no better than the corrupt, lying, pencil necked, bug eyed, pixie lipped, Adam ScHITt.

You must be proud of yourself. What an accomplishment. To go from a once relatively fence sitter board member to full blown leftist sophomoric crap spreader.
Perhaps you can man up enough to answer the question that PC has avoided 16 times like a coward:

Does racism still exist on the Right?

I believe you are requesting another spanking.

I pointed out the dictionary definition of 'belief'....

"a habit of mind; an opinion"
. Definition of BELIEF


You fell right into my trap: your belief that racism is a 'thought crime,' to be punished.




When you realized that I caught you, you posted many lies, claiming that you don't believe in thought crimes.....and I used the first amendment to beat you over the head.....but it was too late for you.


That is why you refuse to answer this question:
Is a ‘belief’ an action, or a thought?



Don't wipe the egg off your face....it's an improvement.

Belief (thought) is not a crime. Acting on a belief (thought) can be a crime.

Let me give you an example. Believing that all black men are savages intent on raping white women is just not a crime. Lynching a poor colored teenager for daring to talk to a white woman, that's a crime.

Get the picture.
 
My answer would be a zero chance and that is exactly what didn't happen. What did happen was the racist Dems, AKA Dixiecrats, didn't change their thinking only their party allegiance. The GOP under Goldwater became the party of States Rights, just what the Dixiecrats wanted to maintain their Jim Crow laws, while the Dems became the party of Civil Rights, just what the Dixiecrats hated.

Nixon’s Southern Strategy: The Democrat-Lie Keeping Their Control Over the Black Community | Black Quill and Ink

Believe it or not, the entire myth was created by an unknown editor at the New York Times who didn’t do his job and read a story he was given to edit.

On May 17, 1970, the New York Times published an article written by James Boyd. The headline, written by our unknown editor, was “Nixon’s Southern Strategy: It’s All in the Charts.”

The article was about a very controversial political analyst named Kevin Phillips. Phillips believed that everyone voted according to their ethnic background, not according to their individual beliefs. And all a candidate had to do is frame their message according to whatever moves a particular ethnic group.

Phillips offered his services to the Nixon campaign. But if our unknown editor had bothered to read the story completely, he would’ve seen that Phillip’s and his theory was completely rejected!

Boyd wrote in his article, “Though Phillips’s ideas for an aggressive anti-liberal campaign strategy that would hasten defection of the working-class democrats to the republicans did not prevail in the 1968 campaign, he won the respect John Mitchell.” (Mitchell was a well-known Washington insider at the time).

A lazy, negligent editor partially read the story. And wrote a headline for it that attributed Nixon’s campaign success–to a plan he rejected.

In fact, Phillips isn’t even mentioned in Nixon’s memoirs.

Is all of this the result of a negligent copy editor at the New York Times? Or did they purposely work with the Democrat Party to create this myth? That has crossed my mind and it’s certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.

I'm not sure how Nixon crept into the thread but here are the actual facts:

Goldwater carried six states: Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and his home state of Arizona.[141] Goldwater's strong showing in the south is largely due to his support of the white southern view on civil rights: that states should be able to control their own laws without federal intervention.
The South was the bastion of the Dixiecrats and their racism. Their move to the GOP was dramatic and permanent and puts the lie to the notion that the Dems have always been the party of racism.


There was no move by racists into the Republican party you doofus......they stayed democrats. all of the racists were supporters, friends or mentors to the likes of al gore and bill clinton.......and the black racists all supported obama....farakhan, jeremiah wright, sharpton, the black panthers...

the party of racism and hate has been and always will be the democrat party.
So why did the South go from solidly Dem to solidly GOP in 1964? Why are they still solidly GOP?

They didn't. The people in the South supported the people they elected because they voted against the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. It took several elections before the former Democrat stronghold went Red.


Until those racists....the Democrats....died out.

That means you are free to hate any individual, or group, for any reason. You may call it 'racism' but it is no problem as long as it does not become actions.

Ask a Leftist, Democrat supporter what the chances are that, after a lifetime of believing as he does, arguing DNC talking points, reading the NYTimes, and watching MSNBC, being indoctrinated...er, 'taught' in government schools, and watching Comedy Central for his news.....

.....what he thinks the chances would be that he woke up tomorrow praising Donald Trump's election and presidency, and voting Republican.

And that calculation represents the same chance that Republicans and conservatives, who formed a party to fight Democrats and slavery, suddenly decided to become racists.
My answer would be a zero chance and that is exactly what didn't happen. What did happen was the racist Dems, AKA Dixiecrats, didn't change their thinking only their party allegiance. The GOP under Goldwater became the party of States Rights, just what the Dixiecrats wanted to maintain their Jim Crow laws, while the Dems became the party of Civil Rights, just what the Dixiecrats hated.

Nixon’s Southern Strategy: The Democrat-Lie Keeping Their Control Over the Black Community | Black Quill and Ink


Ken Raymond
Jun 2011

Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy”, which the democrats say is the reason black people had to support them during the 1960′s–is a lie.

And it’s probably the biggest lie that’s been told to the blacks since Woodrow Wilson segregated the federal government after getting the NAACP to support him.
After talking with black voters across the country about why they overwhelmingly supports democrats, the common answer that’s emerges is the Southern Strategy.

I’ve heard of the Southern Strategy too. But since it doesn’t make a difference in how I decide to vote, I never bothered to research it. But apparently it still influences how many African Americans vote today. That makes it worth investigating.

For those that might be unfamiliar with the Southern Strategy, I’ll briefly review the story. After the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, most blacks registered as democrats and it’s been that way ever since.

And that doesn’t make any sense when you consider the fact that it was the democrats that established, and fought for, Jim Crow laws and segregation in the first place. And the republicans have a very noble history of fighting for the civil rights of blacks.

The reason black people moved to the democrats, given by media pundits and educational institutions for the decades, is that when republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon ran for president in 1968, he employed a racist plan that’s now infamously called the Southern Strategy.

The Southern Strategy basically means Nixon allegedly used hidden code words that appealed to the racists within the Democrat party and throughout the south. This secret language caused a seismic shift in the electoral landscape that moved the evil racist democrats into the republican camp and the noble-hearted republicans into the democrat camp.

And here’s what I found, Nixon did not use a plan to appeal to racist white voters.

First, let’s look at the presidential candidates of 1968. Richard Nixon was the republican candidate; Hubert Humphrey was the democrat nominee; and George Wallace was a third party candidate.

Remember George Wallace? Wallace was the democrat governor of Alabama from 1963 until 1967. And it was Wallace that ordered the Eugene “Bull” Connor, and the police department, to attack Dr. Martin Luther King

Jr. and 2,500 protesters in Montgomery , Alabama in 1965. And it was Governor Wallace that ordered a blockade at the admissions office at the University of Alabama to prevent blacks from enrolling in 1963.

Governor Wallace was a true racist and a determined segregationist. And he ran as the nominee from the American Independent Party, which was he founded.

Richard Nixon wrote about the 1968 campaign in his book RN: the Memoirs of Richard Nixon originally published in 1978.

In his book, Nixon wrote this about campaigning in the south, “The deep south had to be virtually conceded to George Wallace. I could not match him there without compromising on civil rights, which I would not do.”

The media coverage of the 1968 presidential race also showed that Nixon was in favor of the Civil Rights and would not compromise on that issue. For example, in an article published in theWashington Post on September 15, 1968 headlined “Nixon Sped Integration, Wallace says” Wallace declared that Nixon agreed with Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren and played a role in ”the destruction of public school system.” Wallace pledged to restore the school system, in the same article, by giving it back to the states ”lock, stock, and barrel.”

This story, as well as Nixon’s memoirs and other news stories during that campaign, shows that Nixon was very clear about his position on civil rights. And if Nixon was used code words only racists could hear, evidently George Wallace couldn’t hear it.

Among the southern states, George Wallace won Arkansas , Mississippi , Alabama , Georgia and Louisiana . Nixon won North Carolina , South Carolina , Florida , Virginia , and Tennessee . Winning those states were part of Nixon’s plan.

“I would not concede the Carolina ‘s, Florida , or Virginia or the states around the rim of the south,”Nixon wrote. ”These states were a part of my plan.”

At that time, the entire southern region was the poorest in the country. The south consistently lagged behind the rest of the United States in income. And according to the

“U.S. Regional Growth and Convergence,” by Kris James Mitchener and Ian W. McLean, per capita income for southerners was almost half as much as it was for Americans in other regions.

Nixon won those states strictly on economic issues. He focused on increasing tariffs on foreign imports to protect the manufacturing and agriculture industries of those states. Some southern elected officials agreed to support him for the sake of their economies, including South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond.

“I had been consulting privately with Thurmond for several months and I was convinced that he’d join my campaign if he were satisfied on the two issues of paramount concern to him: national defense and tariffs against textile imports to protect South Carolina ‘s position in the industry.”Nixon wrote in his memoirs.

In fact, Nixon made it clear to the southern elected officials that he would not compromise on the civil rights issue.

“On civil rights, Thurmond knew my position was very different from his,” Nixon wrote. “I was for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and he was against it. Although he disagreed with me, he respected my sincerity and candor.”

The same scenario played out among elected officials and voters in other southern states won by Nixon. They laid their feelings aside and supported him because of his economic platform’”not because Nixon sent messages on a frequency only racists can hear.


 
Black, white, whatever....

...why is skin color always the target of the Democrats/Liberals???



6. “During a recent segment about a supermarket shooting in Kentucky, CNN host Don Lemon said that “the biggest terror threat in this country is white men.”

“So,” he said, “we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban — you know, they had the Muslim ban. There is no white-guy ban. So what do we do about that?”

The real racist...LBJ v Goldwater....they guy who wasn't the racist..

Lyndon Johnson opposed every civil rights proposal considered in his first 20 years as lawmaker

"He had been a congressman, beginning in 1937, for eleven years, and for eleven years he had voted against every civil rights bill –

against not only legislation aimed at ending the poll tax and segregation in the armed services but even against legislation aimed at ending lynching: a one hundred percent record," Caro wrote.


"Running for the Senate in 1948, he had assailed President" Harry "Truman’s entire civil rights program (‘an effort to set up a police state’)…Until 1957, in the Senate, as in the House, his record – by that time a twenty-year record – against civil rights had been consistent," Caro wrote.

The Party of Civil Rights

The depth of Johnson’s prior opposition to civil-rights reform must be digested in some detail to be properly appreciated.

In the House, he did not represent a particularly segregationist constituency (it “made up for being less intensely segregationist than the rest of the South by being more intensely anti-Communist,” as the New York Times put it), but Johnson was practically antebellum in his views.

Never mind civil rights or voting rights: In Congress, Johnson had consistently and repeatedly voted against legislation to protect black Americans from lynching.


As a leader in the Senate, Johnson did his best to cripple the Civil Rights Act of 1957; not having votes sufficient to stop it, he managed to reduce it to an act of mere symbolism by excising the enforcement provisions before sending it to the desk of President Eisenhower.


Johnson’s Democratic colleague Strom Thurmond nonetheless went to the trouble of staging the longest filibuster in history up to that point, speaking for 24 hours in a futile attempt to block the bill. The reformers came back in 1960 with an act to remedy the deficiencies of the 1957 act, and Johnson’s Senate Democrats again staged a record-setting filibuster.

In both cases, the “master of the Senate” petitioned the northeastern Kennedy liberals to credit him for having seen to the law’s passage while at the same time boasting to southern Democrats that he had taken the teeth out of the legislation.



Johnson would later explain his thinking thus: “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

Goldwater.....

Barry M. Goldwater: The Most Consequential Loser in American Politics


Goldwater treated all people the same. As a private citizen, he flew mercy missions to Navaho reservations, never asking for recognition or accepting payment. He felt that “the red man seemed as much—if not more—a part of Arizona and America as any white or black person.”[20] Moreover, a few weeks after Goldwater was discharged from the Army in November 1945, Democratic Arizona Governor Sidney Preston Osborn asked him to organize the Arizona Air National Guard. One of Goldwater’s first recommendations, soon approved, was to desegregate the unit. Goldwater’s integration of the state’s Air National Guard took place more than two years before President Harry Truman integrated the U.S. armed forces.
Goldwater was an early member of the Arizona chapters of both the NAACP and the National Urban League, even making up the latter’s operating deficit when it was getting started. Later as a Senator, he desegregated the Senate cafeteria in 1953, demanding that his black legislative assistant, Kathrine Maxwell, be served along with every other Senate employee after learning she had been denied service.
In the mid-1970s, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating improper operations of the intelligence community in the United States, proposed that transcripts of the FBI tapes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged indiscretions be published. An outraged Goldwater declared he would not be a party to destroying King’s reputation and strode out of the committee room. A fellow Senator recalled that Goldwater’s protest “injected some common sense into the proceedings,” and the electronic surveillance transcripts were not released.[21]

That his opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was based on constitutional grounds and not political considerations was underscored in the final week of the fall campaign.
Speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, Goldwater condemned segregation and declared that government must treat “all men as equal in the arena of law and civil order.”[22] He pledged if elected President to implement all provisions of the act. His forthright pro-civil rights speech was televised on 87 stations throughout the South.

NPR Wrong on Goldwater '64, Civil Rights, Say 4 Who Were There
As for the Republican nominee's position on the Civil Rights Act, Goldwater had said he would vote for passage if Section II on public accommodations and Section VII on equal employment opportunity were removed. With his view reinforced by a detailed memorandum from Phoenix lawyer and future Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Goldwater felt these sections were unconstitutional, were unenforceable without a federal police force, and would lead to the creation of racial quotas and affirmative action.

"He was absolutely right about [the two sections of the Civil Rights Act] and they did lead to precisely what Goldwater and most conservatives were afraid of," said Tom Winter, then executive editor of Human Events, who would join Ryskind as its co-owner a year later. As for the "extremism in the defense of liberty" speech, Winter recalled watching it from a San Francisco restaurant "and cheering it because it was clearly about freedom and fighting communism. I certainly didn't think it had anything to do with race."
Urban Legend: Goldwater Against Civil Rights


More specifically, Goldwater had problems with title II and title VII of the 1964 bill. He felt that constitutionally the federal government had no legal right to interfere in who people hired, fired; or to whom they sold their products, goods and services. He felt that “power” laid in the various states, and with the people. He was a strong advocate of the tenth amendment. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National guard and Phoenix public schools.[4] Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League.[5]

His personal feelings about discrimination are enshrined in the congressional record where he states, “I am unalterably opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color, or creed or on any other basis; not only my words, but more importantly my actions through years have repeatedly demonstrated the sincerity of my feeling in this regard…”[6]. And, he would continued to holdfast to his strongly felt convictions that constitutionally the federal government was limited in what it could do, believing that the amoral actions of those perpetuating discrimination and segregation would have to be judged by those in that community. Eventually, the states government and local communities would come to pressure people to change their minds. Goldwater’s view was that the civil disobedience by private citizens against those business establishments was more preferable than intervention by the feds. He, optimistically, believed that racial intolerance would soon buckle under the economic and societal pressure.
Yet it was LBJ that voted for it and Goldwater voted against it. Why didn't Goldwater vote for it and let the courts decide? It would certainly have sent a different message.


You failed to read the article...that was the only one LBJ voted for, one of the last....Goldwater voted for all of them except the 64 act because he said Government can't be allowed to dictate to private property owners..... he supported the rest of the act...

If you are claiming that the assumption no longer applies since folks like you, government school grads, have taken power....

....I agree.
So if morons like me have taken power from people like you, what does that say about the intelligence of losers like you?

Even if the result was discrimination? He may not have been a racist but he certainly appealed to racists in the '64 election.
 
I see you've dug a hole with your pathetic equivocation in this thread that you just can't get out of, and at this point you sound no better than the corrupt, lying, pencil necked, bug eyed, pixie lipped, Adam ScHITt.

You must be proud of yourself. What an accomplishment. To go from a once relatively fence sitter board member to full blown leftist sophomoric crap spreader.
Perhaps you can man up enough to answer the question that PC has avoided 16 times like a coward:

Does racism still exist on the Right?

I pointed out the dictionary definition of 'belief'....

"a habit of mind; an opinion"
. Definition of BELIEF


You fell right into my trap: your belief that racism is a 'thought crime,' to be punished.




When you realized that I caught you, you posted many lies, claiming that you don't believe in thought crimes.....and I used the first amendment to beat you over the head.....but it was too late for you.


That is why you refuse to answer this question:
Is a ‘belief’ an action, or a thought?



Don't wipe the egg off your face....it's an improvement.

Belief (thought) is not a crime. Acting on a belief (thought) can be a crime.

Let me give you an example. Believing that all black men are savages intent on raping white women is just not a crime. Lynching a poor colored teenager for daring to talk to a white woman, that's a crime.

Get the picture.



Exactly what I said, and the opposite of what FenceSitter said....



What is 'racism'?
Unless you can document an act physically or financially injurious to one of another race, why is his opinion, or statements any concern of yours?
Have you ever heard of the first amendment?

This is what I've said in the OP

1. It has always been my contention and belief that the glory of America is the first amendment, which gifts freedom of speech, and, by extension of thought, to all of our people.
That means you are free to hate any individual, or group, for any reason. You may call it 'racism' but it is no problem as long as it does not become actions.

That alone proves the title of the thread....after all, didn't Republicans have to pry their slaves away from the Democrats....and they certainly have been testy since.




Sooo......how do you feel having been forced to agree with me?

I agree there are racist on the Right and on the Left. Feel better?


Feel better that you've continued to mount an argument for moral equivalency that doesn't exist in reality???
