There is something I've noticed recently regarding how ignorant the general populace is regarding race and US political parties. I first noticed it when talking to a couple of black friends a few years ago. I probably never realized this before because hardly anyone I know in real life is interested in politics, so we never talk about it. I guess that's why I have to come to the internet when I want to discuss politics. Bizarre bass ackwards results I've found in my many months-long study: When casually asked, the majority of blacks I know think that it was the Republican party that fought to keep them in slavery. And they thought that it was the Republicans that imposed Jim Crow laws. Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat? And there were several other issues regarding race and political party that the vast majority of the blacks I know had things bass-ackwards. They also erroneously think that Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Rodney King and some other high profile cases in which blacks were killed by cops, were all killed in Republican controlled cities. In actuality every single one of the incidents occurred in a city controlled by Democrats. And what I also noticed over the time of this ongoing informal study is that all of the white anti-black racists had the history of political parties and race relations ass backwards too. They think the Republicans supported slavery and Jim Crow laws. They think those high-profile shootings of black guys shot by the police occured in Republican controlled cities. The white racists and the blacks hold the exact same false beliefs. Your thoughts?
Public schools are for indoctrination, not teaching history. When you bring up the fact that the Jim Crow, racist democrats, the retort is "those were just Dixiecrats and only in the south". The left tries to claim the parties "switched", even though you see the same policies the left held 100 years ago as their same platform today, and they say the ENTIRE GOP is racist, like the southern Dixiecrats switched sides and diffused into the rest of the country spreading their reach everywhere while staying confined as democrats. The left believe all the voters, and sometimes try to claim the politicians switched sides some where between 1964 and 2000, although only one southern dem actually switched, and the rest stayed democrat and elected to the senate till 2010 when the last one, Robert KKK Byrd died in office. And there is no proof the southern racist voters of the DNC ever switched, but there is proof of the younger generation in the south were republican, and that there has been a large migration of people from the north to the south for more job opportunities that brought their Republican beliefs with them. The left also ignores the facts that prominent dems today were trained and mentored under the openly racist democrats of the past, like the Clintons and Al Gore being mentored under known KKK member Al Gore Sr. The NAZI party of Germany in 1940s looked to the southern Dems for the best way to divide the country and oppress those like the Jews. Their strategy of propaganda also was taken from the dems. The Nazi Eugenics program came from the current lefts' heroin Margret Sanger, the person who started Planned parenthood in order to exterminate the undesirables. PPHs clinics are stationed right outside of minority areas at about 80% of the time. Everything the left championed back in the 1950s, they still support today. Instead of forced segregation, now they spew vile hatred of whites which have blacks self segregating. They also push segregation through projects and generational welfare programs that ensnare minorities to a certain part of town in ghettos where their kids get the worst schools of the district indoctrinated by the worst teachers. How can you have places in Detroit and Chicago that are so crime ridden and so impoverished while still voting for the same party that has allowed it to fester for 50+ years?
How about a good story about strange bedfellows between Black Arabber's and Mennonites? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/ma...monnonites-urban-horsemen-20180905-story.html
I think that it is more of a media thing. Ever since the 1930's when the stereotypical 20th century horrific tyrant, slavedriver and mass murderer, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commandeered a new technology in peoples' homes called a radio, he had free reign over the mass media with his deceptive and innocuously titled "Fireside Chats" that were broadcast on every radio network in the USA. It was the first time that most Americans had ever heard the voice of the POTUS. With radio, FDR could even dump grape kool-aid down the throats of the largely illiterate black populations. Next thing you know, he had them accepting slavery again and being used as cannon fodder on continents around the globe.
it was southern Christians Conservatives that thought the white man had a God given right to own slaves back then those southern conservatives where democrats, but now they are all republicans, you can basically tell them by if they defend the Confederate statues and other white nationalist stuff like the Confederate flag you know, the ones Trump now calls 'fine people'
It was northern CHRISTIANS that thought all men should be free and fought a war in that belief. Those Christians were conservative too in their beliefs. Stop being ignorant to the term "conservative" to believe that all conservatives are like democrat conservatives. They are not all the same nor have the same traditions they want to conserve. This is how I know the left is very ignorant is when they can't understand not all conservatives are the same in the values in which they want to conserve and think its a blanket political ideology. Or maybe you shouldn't erase history cause you are bound to repeat the same atrocities eventually. Idiots show themselves by misquoting Trump on the regular.
In 2018, why are we still talking about the Civil War? Will MLK's dream of a day when all men would be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character ever come true?
There was a massive party switch in many demographics between the Solid South of the 40-50s and today that didn't come to complete fruition until the mid-late 90s, long after race was a voting factor in any area of the country. That party switch gradually took place over decades due to the following reasons in no particular order, most are self-explanatory: 1. Greater wealth in a South (and other red areas today) that had been poor since Reconstruction made more voters tax sensitive and supportive of lower tax policy. 2. Abortion. 3. Gun Rights. 4. Overt Marxist influence in the Democratic Party 5. Lawlessness of the Youth Movement that we are seeing resurge. 6. Hippie Culture and its embrace by Democrats. 7. Anti South and anti rural narratives used in politics and culture up through the present. 8. Vilification of the military by the Left. 9. Anti Nationalism and the vilification of patriotism and civic pride. 10. Vilification of religious people and constant negative labeling of the religious by the Left. 11. Promotion of central government growth and power as against local and state power. 12. LW government, social policy that attacks the family unit. There are more, that's enough. Reagan said it best, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me," and this sentiment resonated and still resonates all over the country outside large Complex cities. The most important lie narrative of the Left-Complex is attempting to revise all the above factors into purely racial considerations. It is crucial to them to project the racism that always grounded and today grounds the Democratic Party onto their political opposition (see "Tea Party is racist," X is racist, Y is racist, Z is racist... etc....) The historical underpinning they use is a fabricated "Southern Strategy" to attract racists into the GOP that never happened and analysis of it, lack of material evidence of it reveals it as just another LW agitprop hoax (see also "white privilege, toxic masculinity, cops murdering blacks, patriarchy, wage gap, wealth inequality, shrinking middle class, evils of capitalism, rape culture, white supremacy, etc.") Race hasn't been a significant voting issue in any area of the country for over 50 years, yet to maintain the LW Complex plantation, they must repeat the lie narrative daily that it was and is today. ,
Ssshhhhh! You arent supposed to bring up all these facts about who the real racist party is. If most blacks you know actually believe that abe lincon was a Democrat then it looks like the brainwashing feom the left is working. Also, to whomever is making ip garbage that there was a shift in racism fro lm the left to the right is BS. The only shift was democrats race baiting because its the only way they can secure votes. Lets not forget its the left that comes up witj stupid ideas like black or white only college orientations and black only safe spaces and so on. Race should not even be a factor in politics. What is the difference between a black or a white person that wants lower taxes, less international outsourcing and stronger military? NOTHING AT ALL. all democrats should just leave and go to canada already
Been making that argument for years all skin does is keep your insides from being exposed to the air. What make me, me and you, you isn't your skin, its what's inside.
Right now, we are still heading in the wrong direction. It feels like the pendulum is topping out, though.
People don't think leftism be how it is. But it do. Force them to read a Thomas Sowell book and watch time stop. Also-excellent thread title.
