No matter how much they lie, the fact is that democrats perpetrated the Trail of Tears, Slavery, The Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, Segregation, Affirmative Racism, and the current environment of virulent, anti-white racism that premiates American society.
That democrats have changed from hating blacks, to hating whites, is not progress nor an improvement.
I think that's absurd. Is it overcompensating for past injustices? Possibly; hell, I'll even go with "probably." But "hating"? Let's get serious.
Snipped for brevity
Conservatives as the name implies...and as you know are for maintaining tradition. The conservatives of old(very very very old) were certainly the ones in support of slavery. In fact, you can see it in today's voting patterns.. The south, votes red for a reason.
So hilarious how liberals pick through history and claim conservative politicians as their own. They claim abe lincoln and mlk. Lol....
Then in the next breath worship lyndon b johnson or fdr.
Or say "there was a party shift".
Cmon. Its total bull****.
“I don’t think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses … And I’m not inextricably bound to either party.”
Those illustrate that perhaps AA is counterproductive; however it still doesn't equate to "hating blacks."
So we can add sexism to their racist policies?
Yeah. So i guess lincoln was a liberal. And i guess democrats didnt make the jim crow laws
Are you going to deny that the Southern Democrats largely left the Democratic Party after the Civil Rights Act was instituted? That support for the CRA was based on geographic lines, not party lines? That the political identity of the parties 100-150 years ago is virtually irrelevant to today? All in your futile, intellectually dishonest attempt to prove that racism is the sole province of the Democratic Party, and thus "the left"?

Does the democratic party of today use race as a political pawn?
If you are honest, youd have to say yes.
William Wilberforce (Author of Real Christianity)Oh religion stopped slavery? Please, show me?
Much of those ideas are true today.The Republican Party of that time was pro-business, supported the banks, the gold standard, railroads, and tariffs to protect industrial workers and industry
The Republican Party was based on northern white Protestants, businessmen, small business owners, professionals, factory workers, farmers, and African-Americans.
It was the Democrats, certainly, but no one who holds traditional conservative views can favor slavery.Now just add to the fact that it was the south that was pro-slavery(racist) and look at current voting patterns and it really is quite simple to figure out it was conservatives of old that were pro slavery.
I doubt the word 'progressive' was in use at the time bt we do know that the 'progressives' of today want more control for the state and less for the individual.Regardless, you're making the argument that progressives were for slavery??
Be an adult.You probably think it was the war of northern aggression. LOL
I'd say both parties use whatever they can get as political pawns, including race.
Another 'they all do it' rationalization. You don't believe some do it more than others?
Yeah. So i guess lincoln was a liberal. And i guess democrats didnt make the jim crow laws
Let me tell you a story that illustrates my point. I have posted this before on this board but long before you got here and why I believe this
[STORY]
So affirmative action got this guy two golden degrees-Yale BA and Yale JD and he ended up being a failure professionally.

I hate when people try to place racism on a particular party, or even on a party.
We as a whole are against racism. We might have different standards on what qualifies as racism (and it really matters on where you live and social norms), but in general if you hate black people or any other race, you aren't representing your political affiliation at that point, you are showing your individual nature.
Huh, so apparently people on the right voted for the left, and people on the left voted for the right. Interesting. I'll bet no one saw that coming.
Pretty sure I called that in POST FOUR.
