Ya know what else is racist?
Accusations of racism when there isn't any.
Corollary ... Racism accusations for political gain.
 
But you know, Don Jr earned every cent he’s ever earned in his life.
Yeah, the people I usually hear accuse Obama of being a recipient of Affirmative Action are underachievers born into wealth, just like Loser Jr.
 
So you never heard of Affirmative action?

This is what helped made the Blue south turn RED(wink)

This was what the confederacy in 1861 was based on.
"...a new nation based on deep racial and class inequalities."

Except for the ownership issue, what has changed, considering 70+ million voters support police choking darker skinned people to death
in public, with impunity for those doing the killing?



"...Michelle Obama's interview, in which she said that Black Lives Matter protesters are taking to the streets out of necessity to fight against systemic racism.
"They're (BLM) trying to have people understand that — that we're real folks," Obama said. "And the fear that many have of so many of us is irrational. And it's based on a history that is just — it's sad, and it's dark. And it's time for us to move beyond that."..."

"...Those numbers are derived from data compiled in the Federal Reserve’s 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances. The survey shows that the gap in wealth between Black and white Americans at the median — the middle household in each community — was $164,100. The median Black household was worth only $24,100; the median white household, $188,200.

But if we compare Black and white wealth at the mean — for the average household in each community — the difference was $840,000, a far larger sum. The average figure for Black households was $142,500; for white households, $983,400, close to $1 million."

Hey dude?

"Once upon a time" the south was Blue

Then came AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and the south went RED
Are you simple minded? The South was never progressive, which Affirmative Action is. Progressivism turned from red to blue, and the South held their place with the Red!
 
So you never heard of Affirmative action?

No, it was Nixon's Southern Strategy to drive the then-racist arm of the Democrats known as the Dixiecrats into the Republican fold. That's how the south went red.
 
There’s no such thing. The entire idea of being in the dominant racial or ethnic group is that you can’t be oppressed.
So when told by a gas station attendant in a panic to get the F out of a neighborhood fast and go run out of gas on the freeway before you get shot for being in the wrong place while white ... is racism involved?

PS -- I'm not unaware that you will probably lack a substantive counter. I'm mainly curious which form of deflection you will use. In order to pretend racism can only be committed by people of the chosen (bad) color, the intellectual gymnastics needed are ... well, better than ABC's wide world of sports.

But you didn't say (wink) so you must be wrong. Oh yeah, and the south went red when red started race baiting, I'm not disagreeing there. Kinda historical fact.

No......it was not

Nixon CONSPIRED(LOL)
 
Reverse racism is just racism.Yes it needs to be abolished.
 
Amazing what the sly Nixon can do?(LOL)

He got the whole south to vote for him

What did he run on?
His people were sly and shady—ever hear of Watergate?

As for the Southern Strategy...you really should read up on it, you know, since you seem to never have heard of it.

Definition:
Reverse Racism: "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a dominant or privileged racial or ethnic group"

What's your opinion on it's existence?
It's the American conservatives way of justifying their personal failures, while perpetuating their hatred of people of color.

Just a small sample of how racist the "bottomless" Trump party has degraded to. Trump changed the game from avoidance and some apology, remember the post 2012 election loss, RNC "autopsy", to "there is no racism in America, in fact, white America are victims of the lie that there is racism and victims of Affirmative Action!" Trump Bottomlessness has literally made it okay to all but wear a white hood in the daytime.

Republican party presidential candidate in 1940 :
"...After his death, the NAACP named its headquarters the Wendell Willkie.."

Bear in mind that Bush vetoed the "Motor Voter" legislation, encouraging an expansion of voter registration.

"..A similar bill in 1991 gained less bipartisan support; it passed in both the Senate and the House but was vetoed by President George H.W. Bush. Two years later, Congress passed a nearly identical bill: the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.."

By John Rondy, Reuters | July 15, 2005
"..RNC chairman Ken Mehlman said civil rights legislation pushed by President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, in the 1960s solidified black support for that party for decades and ''we Republicans did not effectively reach out." ''Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," he added. ''I am here as Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

Mehlman was the highest-ranking Republican to address the convention of the oldest and largest US civil rights organization, an annual meeting that President Bush has declined invitations to attend since he took office. NAACP leaders have been critical of Bush for not appearing before them. While he did speak to the group when he was running for his first term, he has not returned -- something that has not happened with a sitting president in more than 70 years...."

He "ran" on two things... same as Reagan. A treasonous plot to sabotage the LBJ Paris Peace Talks by literally offering bribes to North Vietnam to delay an agreement with the sitting U.S. Admin.... in Reagan's case it was reaching an understanding with Iran's revolutionary government to delay release of 52 U.S. hostages, and.... racial polarization...

"..The Casey-Shaheen-Hashemi connection: The Senate report's most provocative new information is drawn from FBI wiretaps of Cyrus Hashemi in his home and office in the fall of 1980. Hashemi was a suspected Iranian government agent who was doubling as an important intermediary between the Carter administration and Iran's radical mullahs. The wiretaps and other evidence demonstrated that Hashemi was a close business associate of Casey's longtime friend, John Shaheen, a New York-based oilman who had known Casey since both served as spies in the World War II Office of Strategic Services, the CIA's forerunner.

Although the phone conversations are cryptic, Shaheen is overheard on Oct. 23, 1980 calling a European business associate from Hashemi's New York office and discussing Hashemi's work on the hostage issue. In another intercepted call shortly after the November election, Shaheen tells Hashemi that he should begin "a direct one-to-one relationship" with Casey. Before Shaheen's death in 1985, he told FBI investigators that he indeed had introduced Hashemi and Casey prior to Casey becoming CIA director. But neither that interview nor the tapes clarify whether Casey knew Cyrus Hashemi personally in July and August 1980 as Jamshid Hashemi, Cyrus's brother, insists..."

And, in case you are unsure who John Shaheen was, he happened to be the brother of Barbara Walter's longtime

In a free society I believe people should be afforded the right to have whatever views they prefer. Not that it should be legal to discriminate in public policy, public jobs, or public education. But when it comes to the private sector I don't believe the government should have any business in demanding anyone follow any specific legal requirements they do not wish to, for whatever their reasons may be.

That means if you are a Muslim bakery shop owner, you should be allowed to hire only Muslim people, or serve only Muslim people if that is your desire. And if you are a gay antique shop owner, you should be allowed to only hire gay men if you want to. And if a restaurant owner wants to hire only blonde blue eyed waitresses at their restaurant, and only serve blonde blue eyed people, then that is their business as well. And if anyone doesn't like that, they don't need to patronize those businesses, and if they fail, then that is how the free market is supposed to work.

I believe you should be able to sell your home to whomever you prefer. Associate with whom you prefer. And think and feel how you prefer, whether I or anyone else thinks it is right or wrong. Freedom means the liberty to make even bad choices as long as they cause no physical harm.
