Where did republicans get the rap as racist when history says it was the demcrats?

Because we live in the present. And in the present, it's the Republican Party that harbors the racists.

Ok. Tell me what the GOP has done that was racist?

They are doing it right now in 20+ states: changing voter laws to disenfranchise African-American communities.

Black Pastor Sues Obama & Democratic Party for Racism




Recent History......

 

[miami_thomas]

Oh, one thing I didn't notice from the OP: "The left were the ones that preach anti-Semitism. The left are the ones that were pro-slavery. The left were the ones pro-segregation."

This is total horsehit. It amounts to confusing the Democratic Party with "the left," and that's a confusion that should always be avoided.

What's true is that part (not all) of the Democratic Party were pro-slavery and pro-segregation, while the Republican Party during the same times were solidly against both. But on those issues, at that time, what that means is that the Democrats (or that portion of them) were the right, and the Republicans were the left.

Every single democrat voted against article 15. Every single one.

History gives us many examples of progressive Republicans, not just on the issue of racial equality -- until the 1960s the GOP was consistently progressive on that issue, and not conservative at all -- but on economic issues, too. Who was the greatest progressive politician of the so-called "Progressive Era" of the early 20th century? Theodore Roosevelt, whose trust-busting and labor activism and advocacy of national health care marks him as one of the first true modern liberals of any prominence. What party did he belong to? The Republican Party.

The equation of the GOP with "conservatism" is a fairly recent development. Throughout its early history, the Republican Party was the progressive party, not the conservative party. So just because some historical trend was championed by the GOP does NOT make it a "conservative" position. Go back a ways, and it probably makes it a liberal one.

Yes I agree there are still today some progressive republicans. But still that does not answer the question as to why the republican party is labeled as the party of racist?

History says that liberal were the racists. The left were the ones that preach anti-Semitism. The left are the ones that were pro-slavery. The left were the ones pro-segregation. It was the Democrat president Woodrow Wilson that said he understood the need for the KKK to protect victimized whites in the south. He re-segregated the federal government. He claimed segregation was a benefit to the colored people. People only write about Kennedy and Johnson brokering the civil rights bill but fail to mention it was the democrats in the senate that were creating the filibuster not the republicans. And it was actually Nixon that did more to desegregate the schools than any other president in history. No democrat supported the 15th amendment that allowed blacks to vote. It was the republicans that were anti-slavery. It was the Republican Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. So how is it exactly that the republicans get the accused of being racist?

Do you know the difference between political parties and political ideologies? Without that basic knowledge, one can easily slip between Republican and Democrat, Conservative and Liberal and slide effortlessly through decades of American history and only prove that the basic knowledge of a political lexicon has yet to seep through to the gray matter.

You have thus demonstrated that basic lack of knowledge in a ham handed defense of Conservative political ideology.

In reality, however, it is the Left and the Democrat Party that has historically been the enemy of black Americans and freedom for all. Even today, liberals have little to offer black Americans except for pandering and quota systems that engineer reverse-discrimination.

"Buchanan's support isn't a one-way street. In addition to his bigoted rhetoric, Buchanan has appeared on a leading "pro-white" radio program twice; supported a prominent member of a leading white supremacist group; and has cited research from white nationalists in his work."

Typical White-Trash Republican​

​

A liberal group proclaims Larry Pratt an advisor for Buchanan is said to have appeared at two meetings organized by white supremacist and militia leaders. Something he denied and was never proven. But because it was said it proves that he was guilty?. Liberal groups do that all the time with no proof. But ok.

Lets see when did the Republican party get it's start? With Lincoln? Since lincoln was a profound racist, one must conclude that Republican were racist from the very beginning!

"I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races--that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together in terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior. I am as much as any other man in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

Abraham Lincoln: Dark Side of a Liberaor

The real question is when did the Democrats stop being a mostly racist party.....

And it was known he had to say those things in order to do what needed to be done and that was to free the slaves. That is a known fact.

Leftists are masters of the "Big Lie."

Most of the crimes that are committed by the left, are portrayed by the party media and by academia as being from the right.

Nazism, National Socialism - an autocratic system where the state controls the means of production, is portrayed as "right," despite being a form of socialism - a command economy.

Perception is reality, and the left manages perception through outrageous lies continuously repeated by the party media and corrupt academia.

I ran into this very same issue on another thread. Unfortunately this just further shows how poor our current public education system really is. The quality of our schools are really heading to the bottom of the barrel when compared to other nations who are far superior with their "quality" of education. Unfortunately the liberal Democrats will continue to spread THAT lie, with respect to racism and slavery in America, because they are counting on their supporters to NOT educate themselves. It's all to better serve in the advancement of the Democrats political machine. It's sad really.

Here is what I found, with respect to where the Democrats and Republicans stood on the issue of slavery:

On July 17, 1862 "The Second Confiscation Act" passed the Republican Congress, with unanimous Democratic opposition, stating that slaves of the Confederacy "shall be forever free".
The Second Confiscation Act July 17, 1862 - NAACPC.org

Well I agree that this (this post) just shows how poor our current public education system really is.......

Abe was a racist. But then again most whites at the time were.

You are correct you are showing how poor our education system really is.

"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life time." Further proof why liberals always fail.

Condi Rice lied for the master, Michael Steele made a mess of the Republican Party, what is your point?

"The master"? A racist leftist. Gasp.

Nothing racist about that. You whites do not even understand racism.

It's not just Republicans who wanted voter ID laws it is also Democrats;

A recent Rasmussen poll found that 75% of total voters “believe voters should be required to show photo identification, such as a driver’s license, before being allowed to vote.” According to the poll, 85% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats support photo voter ID. Groups like the Brennan Center and the DNC’s Voting Rights Institute are far more liberal than most Democrats when it comes to voter ID. With three-fourths of the electorate supporting voter ID, and so much research behind it, voter ID should be the law.

Horseshit, but I know the mindset that programs you to say that: "It's impossible for liberals to be racist."

You whites do not even understand racism.

I understand racism as defined by the left: "Racism is anything the left doesn't like."
