Why do people think the Republican Party is racist?

[Stoner710]

Never understood this idea. Let go through history and see which party is racist.

Democrats broke the country up to protect slavery, Republicans freed the slaves.

Democratic set up Jim Crow laws in order to denigrate black folks and make their lives harder and harder. Republicans opposed these laws.

democrats started 3 waves of the KKK to kill black folks and white republicans. Who defeated the rights of blacks to vote.

Democratic tried as hard as possible from preventing them to vote. Republicans nowadays all we want is for everyone to show I. D in order to vote there’s no poll tax

democrat are openly racist. The idea of white private comes from not only a Marxist take on how America works but is racist to black people telling them “it doesn’t matter how hard you work you’ll always be a 2nd class citizen” this message is exactly what the KKK was teaching.

Republican believe black pepper have agency in their lives it doesn’t matter what happened to your grandfather 150 years ago what are you doing now? Black are capable of the same achievement as whites their skin color isn’t a factor. What they’ve been taught is a factor. As long as the welfare state and the Democratic Party exist blacks will have a harder time. Republicans will continue to fight for viewing everyone as an individual not as a group or collective individual can’t be responsible for their neighbors we can only be responsible for ourselves treated everyone based off of merit and not evils of the past is the only way we not be a racist country as long and democratic keep having there racist Marxist attitude about blacks and whites we’ll never move on and we will continue to be at war (be it hot or cold). So are we going to let the racist democrats win or the merit based Republicans win

Sadly, the democrat party controls most of the media, and they use their media to rewrite history and to indoctrinate their followers. Woke sheep will literally believe ANYTHING that comes from a talking head on approved networks such as MSNBC. Speaking of MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski recently slipped up and said to Joe Scarborough that it is their job to tell their viewers what to think. Remember, the sheep accept that a biological male can get pregnant and have babies... apparently out his ass! A person believing that will believe ANYTHING! The media and the liberal teachers in schools explain away the horrible racist history of the democrat party with two simple words..."Party Switch". Apparently, one day long ago, the democrats were sad that their racist past was making them look bad, so they went to the Republicans and said, "Hey! How about you help us out here? Let's switch names so you can be the bad guys for awhile? " The Republicans agreed and from then on, the Republicans became the democrat party while the democrats turned Republican". Does that sound insane? It should, but it is no worse than claiming a man can get pregnant. I actually hesitate to call these woke fools "sheep". Actual sheep are far less bidable and docile.

[supercutebutt]

*YAWN*

[supercutebutt]

Racists switched from being Democrats to being Republicans a long ass time ago. It happened in the south with the Dixiecrats. Learn history :) Does the south go blue today? No it does not.

[supercutebutt]

The Dixiecrats' presidential candidate, Strom Thurmond, became a Republican in 1964. The Dixiecrats represented the weakening of the "Solid South". (This referred to the Southern Democratic Party's control of presidential elections in the South and most seats in Congress, partly through decades of disfranchisement of blacks entrenched by Southern state legislatures between 1890 and 1908. Blacks had formerly been aligned with the Republican Party before being excluded from politics in the region, but during the Great Migration African Americans had found the Democratic Party in the North and West more suited to their interests.

[Stoner710]

There wasn’t a southern switch, this is a myth. When you look at the voting demographics between the 1960s and now the major shift started to begin in the 1980s under Reagan. LBJ of course wanted to keep black in poverty with his great Society campaign (beginning of the welfare state). Which has been a negative impact on all Americans but the black community was affected is a worse way then whites, Since LBJ’s great society allowed mothers to kick out there fathers and they knew the government was going to pay for it. Of course black people aren’t stupid (even though the democrats like to think blacks are stupid) they took advantage of these social welfare programs which caused single motherhood rate in the black community to skyrocket, or encourage Margaret Sanger‘s dream of purging blacks from the United States by funding planned parenthood. As well as discouraging the nuclear family which screwed us all up. But black Americans were affected the worst by LBJ’s big government ideas. Which is now we have a huge cultural Marxism problem in the United States right now. Frankly if MLK were alive to day he would be a far right republican. He would see the likes of Clarance Thomas and say he’s better for the country then Obama was Obama learned from Malcom X and upheld Malcom X’s legacy rather than king

[supercutebutt]

LOL!

[supercutebutt]

You typed "Black people aren't stupid" yet you claim for half a century they vote Democratic... because why? Either:
1) They are stupid
-or-
2) Racist Republicans don't consider them important

It's one or the other, my doof.

[Stoner710]

Humans are stupid in general. Blacks fell for cultural Marxism in the 1960s primarily due to Malcom X and Dr king (before King was murdered) Marxism destroys what it touches. LBJ was a cultural Marxist hence the Great New Society where he offered people free money and of course people are going to take it. He made a Faustian bargain with blacks back in 1968 that stated I give you “free money “. You vote Democratic for the next 200 years republicans haven’t been good about fighting Marxism in the united state they’ve been amazing abroad (Reagan, with fall of the USSR) but the Marxism during that time took over Hollywood the universities and the mainstream media the 3 most powerful institutions in the United States. Educate people on the “evils of the free market”. Tell blacks they are stupid and it’s the whites people who are screwing you over and teach women to kill their unborn children because you need to be at work on Monday.

[Stoner710]

Unfortunately a lot of republicans don’t care we call these people RINOs people like Mick, Romney, John McCain’s Lisa Murkowski is Susan Collins Kay Ivy these Republicans are more interested I only cutting taxes and won’t focus on cultural issues which I would say don’t really care about Black people at much or at least not enough to try to get rid of the cultural Marxism that has influenced the black committee there the Bush administration republicans who didn’t take the Andrew Brightbart line of politics is down stream of culture. But the republicans your party hates do care about black peoples Marjorie Taylor, Greene, Lauren Boebert Tom cotton, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Clarence, Thomas justice, Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett, Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch. Kevin McCarthy, Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Ran Paul tucker Carlson Sean Hannity. These are the ones that fight the cultural issues on the ground. Won’t back down these are the non-racist republicans they care about black lives hence why they’re called the freedom caucus, and trying to get rid of these Marxist social welfare programs that just hurt the black community and don’t help

[supercutebutt]

Hahahahahaha! You should do stand-up comedy.

[WhiteSteve]

I’d just say that, as a general rule, it’s not cool to be disdainful of anyone else’s culture just because it doesn’t align with what you believe to be normal or correct, or to have ONE cultural standard that you expect everyone to fall under to avoid criticism and avoid prejudicial treatment. Like you can’t just say “this is America, act American”, that’s YOU fucking up, not someone else. That’s my main gripe with Republicans in this area, this idea that everyone has to subscribe to one homogenous culture to be accepted. Let people be as different as they want, and recognize that the Republican Way, or even just the American Way, is not THE way, and you can live absolutely however you want, free from judgement of others. Anything short of that is completely unacceptable and indecent to me.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't know of any republicans that think everyone HAS to be the same. At least not from what I've seen. True, SOME of them look down upon those that don't look, dress and act like them but, I've got a number of cousins that are democrats and do the exact same thing! I NEVER wear a suit & tie and they look down upon me BECAUSE I never do! I don't give a fuck WHAT anybody wears!! It's their CHARACTER, NOT their wardrobe, that makes them who they are!!

[WhiteSteve]

@FunkyMonkee Well, I mean, the “culture” thing can take on various forms. Republicans are of course nuanced like any other group, and everybody is judgmental in some way. I mean, this is me being some measure of judgmental of Republicans, lmao.

But when I try to look at it from 30,000 feet, in the context of society as we know it (which is COMPLETELY wrong, in my eyes, just as a broad concept, and I think it’s built-in that we will perpetually fail since we’re not supposed to be doing it in the first place…but that’s another wild topic for another day, I’m trying to stay inside the lines of everybody else’s conventional wisdom)…there’s just a vague blanket-feeling of “bad faith” to so many arguments I hear from Republicans. The Democratic politicians, I can understand that they bring their own disingenuousness. But I think the mistake we make is letting what the politicians SAY define what the official position is on whatever given issue. All of those people are full of shit, lmao, and unfortunately, most people aren’t bright enough to not just parrot what politicians or talking heads on whichever biased news channel they watch say, and take them on as their own official position and opinion. I never cared so much about Donald Trump, he’s just one dude, even as the POTUS, he can only affect me so much. It’s all the people who followed him like they’re in a cult. That’s not everyone, but there seem to be quite a bit of them.

[WhiteSteve]

@FunkyMonkee Anyway, my point was just going to be that a lot of these “positions” on issues seem to be thinly-veiled attempts to intellectualize or moralize people’s opinions that are just based in them being opposed to something on a more visceral level. LGBTQ stuff seems to start as “EW! Two dudes kissing!” and get molded into “Well, the Bible strictly prohibits this…” or “These are perverts who are after YOUR children!” Or anti-abortion stuff gets spun from “The Bible says no…” or “man, I’m so mad at these women fucking dudes who AREN’T me!” to “This is a right to life issue! I love human life! I— UGH, get away from me, I don’t have any money, you filthy hobo, if you don’t leave me alone I’ll fear for my life and blow your head off!” Democrats, for all their annoying shit, at the end of the day, are pulling for a kinder and universally accepting society, and that’s hard for me to not get behind, despite not being a Democrat and being able to recognize that the politicians are just broadly full of hot air, regardless of party.

[FunkyMonkee]

Well, if they ARE a cult, they look to me like a cult of people that have finally seen whats been REALLY going on behind the scenes and are standing up against the corruption and, to do that, they HAVE to support someone strong enough to defeat those evil forces for us! Be it Trump, DeSantis or Lake. Basically, they're a cult of people that want better than what we've had for the past 110 years and what we deserve and are sick and tired of being shit on by the lefties. The dems are just too stupid to know they're being shit on and used! Lemmingcrats!!
If we ARE a cult, at least give us the credit for standing up for what's right and what SHOULD be!!

[FunkyMonkee]

The dems USED to be for what's good, at least back in the `60's and `70's but, their cult has done a complete turn-around and are fighting what they once stood for!! I know that SOME of the republican ideals aren't the best in the world. I don't dig their abortion stance at all!! I have no problem at all with people being gay, as long as it's not being shoved down my throat, I have no problem with people getting a sex change or cross-dressing. I've done TONS of that, myself and so have most women on the planet today! The biggest, if not the ONLY reason, I, as a dem, back the reps is because I KNOW that they're trying to actually get what we dems have wanted at least as far back as the `60's!! If today's dems would've left the reps the fuck alone 2 years ago, I'm pretty god damn SURE we would've HAD THAT by now!! NOW, because of cheating Joe, IF the reps get back into power, it's probably gonna take them 8 to 12 years just to clean up Joe's INCREDIBLE mess!!!

[WhiteSteve]

@FunkyMonkee “The biggest, if not the ONLY reason, I, as a dem, back the reps is because I KNOW that they're trying to actually get what we dems have wanted at least as far back as the `60's!!”

I need a little more info here, if you would. You’re kind of vague in what you’ve written pertaining to what you’re actually after. As a general rule, I view Democrats as permissive and accepting, and Republicans as rigid and unaccepting, often to the point where it’s persecution. “Rules” imposed by the Democrats, to me, very often seem to just be made in order to force ignorant people to not be allowed to be ignorant in ways that affect certain people’s outcomes and life experiences, like the “rules” are just protective measures for people who need it, since we can’t seem to trust people to do the right thing. What exactly are you looking for that you feel democrats are keeping from you?

[FunkyMonkee]

World peace, freedoms that we haven't had in who knows how long, if ever, loving your fellow man, helping your fellow man, etc..

[WhiteSteve]

@FunkyMonkee wow…. well, I mean, I can get behind most of that, if not all, depending on what freedoms you’re referring to. But I have to say, “helping your fellow man” and “loving your fellow man” are pretty much the opposite of what I view the Republican Party as standing for, like that’s why I oppose them as strongly as I do. I don’t see anything from them that leads me to believe that that’s at all a concern for them, other than the hollow Christian stuff they practice but don’t preach.

[FunkyMonkee]

Really? You didn't see any of the great stuff Trump did in just 4 years?
Freedoms: being allowed to smoke grass or use other recreational drugs, not the harder shit but, if we can drink beer, wine and whiskey, even thought it has loads of bad effects when you drink too much, why shouldn't we be allowed to smoke a joint, drop a tab of acid, munch on some mushrooms, peyote buttons, wipe-out brownies or other drugs that aren't gonna harm anyone at all? Not that I use any and, anyone that knows me will tell you that! Freedom to walk around naked. Freedom to wear anything we wanna wear. Freedom to tell the government how to run the country and freedom to see unredacted papers on the things government has been doing. They're using OUR tax money to do all these secret things and we have NO say in how this money gets used!! And, those taxes are SUPPOSED to be paid VOLUNTARILY!! There's NO LAW that says we HAVE to pay taxes!! Even the Constitution SAYS, taxes are to be paid voluntarily!! There's also no taxes without representation which, I'm pretty sure, means exactly what I said a moment ago, that we shouldn't be paying taxes unless we know what they're being used for. Freedom to say what we want, when we wanna say it! The PC crowd has REALLY fucked THAT ONE over!!

[lightbulb27]

Because it draws some people from the extreme right which by nature of the division of parties, they are or seem baised against anyone not like them. So they associate that perception with the whole since what the media focuses on, is the most emotionally triggering or worst behavior. They ignore all "good deeds", behaviors and perspectives.

As well, they see themselves as "not racist" and thus label the the other side as so which helps to maintain mind control over their base.

Democrats are geniuses... remember that! If democrats were a rock band, they'd be "Twisted Sister".

[Dargil]

I have never seen, current or in history that Republicans have any legacy of "racism" or racial bigotry. The root of accusations against Republicans are simply their long legacy of racial hatred. Here is a partial list of their "accomplishments"
Importation of slaves.
Slavery itself.
Dred Scott Decision
The Civil War
The Ku Klux Klan
The Trail of Tears
The Jim Crow Laws.
The Elaine massacre
Brown v. Board of Education
The Murder of ML King
Lester Maddox
George Wallace
Bull Conner
Orville Faubus

New additions every day.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Dude. Every single thing you mentioned was Democrats

[Sevenpointfive]

@WhiteBoyChill you can't teach a brainwashed person

[Dargil]

@WhiteBoyChill. That is correct. It was my intent. My wording was misleading.

[FunkyMonkee]

That's only the racist democrats that "think" that way. It's called, distraction, reflection and misdirection. Anything they accuse others of doing, it's because they're guilty of it and want to shove the blame off onto others to hide their own crimes and continue to get away with them. Your so busy looking at the republicans to see if they actually ARE guilty, you can't see, or don't have the opportunity to see the democrats doing it right under your nose.
Magicians use this all the time! They direct your attention to their one hand and, while you're watching that hand, the other is doing the actual "magic".

[joeldalton]

Because you have to understand that not many people want to be perceived as racist. So, given any policy or position that can be debated, a Republican will often give facts and support for his/her position. A Democrat/leftist can not defend their position with logic and facts, so will immediately go “you’re a racist”. Since we’ve established that no one wants to be seen as racist, the Republican will start to debate whether he/she is actually racist. As a result the initial position isn’t debated.

[supercutebutt]

Racists stereotype everyone, which is exactly what YOU do in every comment I see you post. :)

[joeldalton]

@supercutebutt you’re projecting. Again.

[supercutebutt]

You literally just posted another one of your typical stereotypin' rants right before your weak attempt at trying to deflect, my doof.
Now go put on some music and honor David Crosby.

[joeldalton]

@supercutebutt you like to accuse me of things you love to do.

[Sasahara]

Because the leftists wants to make the Right look bad.

You know, how jokes about the president became a huge bannable thing a lot of places online after Biden became president, how a lot of news sites shut down their comment sections after BLM in 2020, how they claim that Right leaning people are bigots, yet I can dig up leftists gloating about making a lesbian lose work because she dared to like right leaning tweets, how they claim black people don't vote Republican (yet take huge issues with it if you point out that that would mean Kanye West somehow is a leftist...)

[Soteris]

Because it is. Also, the further back in history you are having to go to prove your point the more suspicious I become of the current state of affairs. Your question is if the Republicans are racist TODAY, not 150 years ago. Which again, yes the Republicans are fucking racist TODAY and its blatantly obvious.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Lol blatantly obviously my ass

[Soteris]

@WhiteBoyChill Yes, it is and I am tired pretending its not.

[LiamJHayden]

Simple. Those who do so cherry-pick the worst examples and then paint the entirety with that brush. It is the exact same "reasoning" that leads to every sort of bigotry. A drive-by in Chicago becomes "Why do black men murder?" A school shooting takes place and it becomes, "What is the problem with white men?" To people with that "bigot mindset" a very, very small % becomes the representative of everyone who holds any similar trait.

[Juxtapose]

You are exactly right and it's hilarious how people don't see this. Although I will say that anti-black rednecks do gravitate towards the Republican Party since the Democratic Party is the party of minority supremacy.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Both are racist to a degree and the Republican and Democrat party as a whole aren't the same political party of several decades ago.

Hence, the south used to be very Democrat, but now is heavily Republican due to a shift regarding civil rights movement when the Democrat party moved away from oppression of blacks, which caused lots of whites to move to the Republican party.

Don't fool yourself.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You do realize the Civil Rights bill required Republican support to pass and was almost unanimous

[NewsReader]

I strongly agree with your points, but you really need to proofread before posting.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, it got really weird towards the end!

[inhua]

left-wing Marxist propaganda has brainwashed the masses into believing Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic etc to deflect their own racism, sexism and homophobia.

[slatyb]

Absolutely. It has been since the 1960's when the Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act. The history of the parties before that point is irrelevant.

[exitseven]

"People" do not hink that. The fake news repeats it enough so that after a while it becomes part of the democrat narrative. The reality is that it is democrats that are racist.

[FunkyMonkee]

As Larry Elder said... AND PROVED! If Trump is a racist, he's doing a piss-poor job of it!!

[Anonymous]

Sounds like you’ve only read angled history books and watched bias news but overlooked actual neutral ground facts.

[OddBeMe]

I thought we’ve been over this. Party names don’t matter. Go back far enough it was Democratic-Republicans against the Whig Party.

But liberal vs conservative…who’s more racist and who destroyed slavery? Lincoln was a full blown libtard.

[Anonymous]

I wish it actually was.
Republicans should be serving the white middle and low class, instead they do everything possible to cater to other groups now.

[Anonymous]

It's mainly their supporters who are definitely racist.

[FilmGuy93]

People are pretty stupid
