    In other words, I asked the OP to explain what he meant.

    He couldn't.

    The OP asked you did you have a problem with him asking Republicans about their plan to fight racism, you didn't give the OP an answer.

    I realize some of the more elderly members of the forum have a hard time following things, but my response was literally the second post.

    When Republicans finally freed blacks from slavery Democrats where angry they'd lost their slaves, and spent the approximately 100 years trying to turn back the clock. They eventually realized the jig was they turned to a different form of slavery, the new liberal plantation. I think someone from the past warned against this very thing.


    "Everybody has asked the question, ... 'What shall we do with the Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! You're doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, ... let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also."
    Frederick Douglass

    You and the usual passive aggressiveness, that still didn't answer the question. The OP asked did YOU, YOU, YOU have a problem with the OP asking users on HERE.

    Let some of that bible school education go and at least try to comprehend.

    I feel like I'm having to break down a simple concept into baby talk. It's not rocket science, I asked the OP what he meant exactly by fighting racism and he had no answer. So I still have the same question. The OP couldn't answer, so I'll toss it to you since you seem to have stronger feelings about it than the OP did.

    F*k no, unless you don't accept reality of over policing and the right wings war on drugs that incarcerate them at far higher numbers!

    How Racial Segregation and Policing Intersect in America
    A study of race and policing shows disturbing differences between Black and white neighborhoods, says Tufts sociologist

    Overpolicing breaks Black and Brown communities. What can we build instead?
    So-called ‘public safety’ practices protect White affluence, making oppression of others ‘justified and reasonable’

    10 things we know about race and policing in the U.S.

    1) Majorities of both black and white Americans say black people are treated less fairly than whites in dealing with the police and by the criminal justice system as a whole.


    2) Black adults are about five times as likely as whites to say they’ve been unfairly stopped by police because of their race or ethnicity

    7) Around two-thirds of police officers (68%) said in 2016 that the demonstrations over the deaths of black people during encounters with law enforcement were motivated to a great extent by anti-police bias

    True those CONServatives of the Southern States of AmeriKKKa had so many liberals there right?

    Nov 2, 2016 — A Ku Klux Klan newspaper has declared support for Donald Trump's Republican run for U.S. president

    Jul 9, 2020 — David Duke, one of the US's most notorious racist extremists, has reiterated his support for Donald Trump's re-election campaign

    I think they have made it crystal clear. Pretend it does not exist and make sure younger generations do not hear about it (ban the topic in schools).

    The Republican party position on race has been consistent over decades, treat all Americans equally, do not devide America by race. The Democrat Party, on the other hand, has switched dramatically from treating blacks like cattle to treating them as childlike, barely functional adults, who need help from daddy government to rise above victim status. From straight forward brutal treatment as slaves to cynical manipulation for votes. Remember black men and women, you are perpetual victims who can do nothing for yourselves. Keep the fires of anger lit.

    Shelby Steele argues 'racial victimization' pushed by Democrats has stripped black people of power


    https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awrheuxo75Bk1Tcx37UPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1687248872/RO=10/RU=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/shelby-steele-argues-racial-victimization-pushed-by-democrats-has-stripped-black-people-of-their-power/RK=2/RS=bypX22.indjHaVeyp6lIa0NnhxM-


    “Black Americans, in the last 60 years since the '60s, we have made our racial victimization our primary source of power. If we are victims of racism, then that gives us a moral leverage in society to ask for all sorts of things, to introduce political correctness here, to have diversity programs there, to have affirmative action, public housing extended, well on and on. We can ask for all sorts of things based on the fact that we’re victims of racism,” Steele told Breitbart News Tonight.

    “This is a dark thing because if you define yourself as a victim, you define yourself as impotent. Every time you go out to protest, you’re putting your fate in the hands of the people who you claim discriminate against you. You’re letting them run your life. You’re letting them say what is true and what is not true, and you continue to be in the same position that we were when we were formally oppressed in slavery and segregation," he continued.

    Former KKK Leader David Duke Says 'Of Course' Trump Voters Are His Voters
    https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...ke-says-of-course-trump-voters-are-his-voters


    Donald Trump and David Duke: For the record


    2000
    “The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi,
    Mr. [Patrick] Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. [Lenora] Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep

    — Trump, in a statement saying he will not accept the Reform Party nomination for president, Feb. 13, 2000

    NBC’s Matt Lauer: “When you say the [Reform] party is self-destructing, what do you see as the biggest problem with the Reform Party right now?”
    Trump: “Well, you’ve got David Duke just joined — a bigot, a racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party.”
    —remarks on NBC’s “Today Show,” Feb. 14, 2000


    — Trump, in response to a question at a news conference, Feb. 26

    CNN’s Jake Tapper: ......’ Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don’t want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?”


    Trump: “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. Okay? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you’re asking me a question that I’m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.


    Trump: “I don’t know any — honestly, I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.”
    Tapper: “All right.”

    LMAOROG, Sure, sure

    Racial backlash drives restrictive voting laws, study finds

    In recent years, Republican state lawmakers nationwide have passed numerous pieces of legislation to restrict voting. As of May of this year, they've introduced nearly 400 restrictive voting bills in legislatures across the country, including in the Southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. The proposals would, among other things, impose strict voter ID requirements, limit absentee voting, make voter registration more complicated, and allow aggressive voter roll purges.


    Voting rights experts have noted that these policies disproportionately impact communities of color and would ultimately dilute the political influence of a diverse electorate.

    Black voting rights under threat in GOP supermajority states, lawmakers say

    Black politicians and activists in the South say the Tennessee expulsions are just the tip of the iceberg in a region where White Republicans dominate state politics.

    Paul Weyrich, "father" of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority and various other groups tells his flock that he doesn't want people to vote. He complains that fellow Christians have "Goo-Goo Syndrome"

    "Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

    No More Pretending: Republicans Admit Vote Restrictions Are All About Winning
    As one top GOP lawyer says, allowing for mail ballot or other reforms “puts us at a competitive disadvantage.”

    Some Republicans Acknowledge Leveraging Voter ID Laws for Political Gain


    Todd Allbaugh, 46, a staff aide to a Republican state legislator, attributed his decision to quit his job in 2015 and leave the party to what he witnessed at a Republican caucus meeting. He wrote on Facebook:

    I was in the closed Senate Republican Caucus when the final round of multiple Voter ID bills were being discussed. A handful of the GOP Senators were giddy about the ramifications and literally singled out the prospects of suppressing minority and college voters. Think about that for a minute. Elected officials planning and happy to help deny a fellow American’s constitutional right to vote in order to increase their own chances to hang onto power.

    DEM?

    In October 2020, Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz introduced a bill calling for the United States to drop criminal charges against Edward Snowden. She introduced a similar bill, with Kentucky Republican congressman Thomas Massie, aimed at ensuring the release of Julian Assange from prison in the United Kingdom where he was being held pending resolution of extradition proceedings to the United States


    Hillary Clinton suggests Republicans are grooming Tulsi Gabbard for third-party run
    The Hawaii lawmaker responded by slamming the former first lady as "the queen of warmongers."
    In a recent interview, Clinton didn't mention Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii by name, but said she believes one candidate is "the favorite of the Russians." Asked if the former secretary of state was referring to Gabbard, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said, "If the nesting doll fits..." He later tweeted that Clinton was referring to the GOP grooming Gabbard, not Russians.

    White nationalist leaders David Duke and Richard Spencer have made favorable statements about the candidate. The white nationalists generally cite Gabbard’s isolationist views, her 2017 meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and her criticisms of Barack Obama and other Democrats for not using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.”

    “Tulsi Gabbard for President. Finally a candidate who will actually put America First rather than Israel First!” Duke tweeted in February.

    DAMN ALMOST HAD HER CONFUSED WITH THE SOCIALIST BERNIE

    Oh, here we go again with that ragged right-wing trope. Blacks are being treated like children, like cattle, like they are stupid by the Democratic party who manipulates them. Someone who believes that has a poor opinion of African Americans, if not a racist opinion that they are a race of ignorant dupes.

    Did you know 80% live above the poverty line and 55% of these stupid people are middle class and above. Only 6% of Blacks call themselves Republican and the GOP has not been inviting, yet the white nationalists and other racists have not been told to leave. Black Democrats have power in the party. They run cities and police departments. There are 58 Black members of Congress. 2 are Republican. African Americans made a choice and they are not a race of idiots as the right thinks.
    Steele gives a list of wrongs that needed to be righted. Victims of moral wrongs do have moral leverage, if you are interested in pressing for the moral right, which all ethical people should be, but that hardly makes you impotent. That is power. You are not putting your fate in others hands, you are taking charge of it by attempting to right a wrong. Steele is wrong.

    The Democrat plan is to tell whites to forgive and accept black social pathology, and that if we do not we are racist.
