Why do white people vote democrat?

And here I thought Republican’s were “color blind”

I’m familiar with middle Tennessee lived in Williamson County for 7 years. I just Googled the median sale price of a home there this year—shocking actually—725K. Up over 300% in 2022.

It was similar to other places I’ve lived in respect to the stark differences in income and “lifestyles” of it’s residents. From my experience it’s something you can count on here (USA).

I’m likely in the minority on this but the needs of a “class” are the needs of a class regardless of the composition of the class.

The ability of bad faith actors to split that class along the lines of it’s composition is the reason why the needs of that class aren’t met.

Evidently, I must be advocating “class warfare” or I despise myself. No. I’m advocating people with similar needs banding together to get those needs met. I’m tired of watching people give away their power clinging on to BS.

 

Democrats hate poor whites. They call them trash. People are successful or not based on their own talents, efforts and attitudes.

Read the link. Whites have lower household incomes than 28 non white ethnic groups yet according to democrats it is justifiable to hate whitey for having privilege.

Black people who vote republican are called self hating Uncle Toms.

What is a white person that votes democrat? Self hating for sure. You have to be.

 

So your argument is that because some people on the left use general hyperbole to demonize a group of people
that you are justified in using general hyperbole to demonize another group of people ...
and the irony completely escapes you.

Whatever.

 

As a white person, I believe in liberty and justice for all, not just some.
The GOP has turned into the party of white supremacy, which is fundamentally anti-American. Racism to the GOP occurs when white supremacists are denied the ability to discriminate against others: MAKING THE AMERICAN CASTE SYSTEM GREAT AGAIN.

 

Calling other white people race-traitors is so 1860s.

I take it as a badge of honor when I get that insult, given how it's always coming from the worst sort of humans.

 

Which one of those do you presume was based on criteria that best positioned them for the job, and which do you think prioritized ethnicity?

But we are the racist party?

Oh, and African Americans make up just 13% of the US population... would you say the democrats have more or less than 13% of those interns as black?

How many brainwashed young white liberals missed out on that opportunity to intern for Democrats because they couldn't check the right box based on amount of pigmentation in their skin?

You have convinced yourself that racism is ok because you hold the same perspective that we owe an unfair advantage to POC, which is pure and utter racism. You have just validated and justified your racism to yourself but you can't see it.

 

If you count the faces in the Democrat's photo, there are still more white faces than others - the real difference is the COMPLETE lack of diversity in the Republican photo.
You really got to work hard to get that little diversity in this country.

 

You really don't have to work so hard. All you have to do is value competence and accomplishment. It is exactly the same reason that Google's engineers have so little diversity.

 

Says the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and labeling blacks like Larry Elder as the black face of white supremacy.
The left calling anyone racist is the definition of hypocrisy

 

Dems:criteria for job
Republicans:ethnicity

 

Try to come up with stuff that isn't 60+ years old.

 

Why do white people vote Democrat? For the same reason people drank the kool aide at Jonestown. They think they are ushering in a utopia.

 

You make the error of considering anyone to the left of you as Democrats - but the largest political association right now is Independent - which is the
only affiliation that makes sense given how screwed up the two parties are right now.

 

LMAO.

 

Or is it simply because the Republican Party has completely left the rational world and the Democrat may be (unfortunately) the only alternative.

 

Bullcrap.

 

You didn't know that blacks who run for office gets to chose the party they want to run for?
You didn't know why more blacks would run with the party who gets the most black votes?
You thought it was a diversity issue where they aren't allowed to run as a Republican?

Seems you don't know a lot about people who run for office or you are knowingly falsifying information about race and candidates.
Its amazing how the left cries about diversity only when they can use it as a racial finger to can point at someone else.

If you are going to have open heart surgery for one of your children, you going to select the doctor by diversity or experience?
Funny how the hypocrisy just oozes to the top when the diversity crying crowd has to make a decision for themselves.

 

The DP has always despised, exploited manipulated free labor, slaves and the impoverished.

"We were eight years in power. We had built schoolhouses, established charitable institutions, built and maintained the penitentiary system, provided for the education of the deaf and dumb, rebuilt the jails and courthouses, rebuilt the bridges and reestablished the ferries. In short, we had reconstructed the State and placed it upon the road to prosperity and, at the same time, by our acts of financial reform, transmitted to the Hampton Government an indebtedness not greater by more than $2,500,000 than was the bonded debt of the state in 1868, before the Republican Negroes and their white allies came into power.

It seemed fairly clear that what South Carolina wanted was not reform even in its narrower sense; that what it was attacking was not even stealing and corruption. If there was one thing that South Carolina feared more than bad Negro government, it was good Negro government.

In fine, dishonesty in South Carolina was not racial. It was not even a matter of the lower economic classes, white or black. It was the child of an age of extravagance and characteristic of a state where the mass of the voters were poverty-stricken, and the property holders angry and ruthless in their methods.

"The fact that the best men of the South (unlike the Abolitionists of John Brown's time) were unwilling to strike openly and trust that the end and the future would justify the means, is very good evidence that the methods by which Negro rule was overthrown had not as yet been proved to be necessary, and, therefore, were unjustifiable. Goldwin Smith has said that statesmanship is the art of avoiding revolution. Of the Democrats of Mississippi and South Carolina in 1875 and 1876 one might well say, "Their revolution was the art of avoiding statesmanship." 45

Beneath the race issue, and unconsciously of more fundamental weight, was the economic issue. Men were seeking again to reestablish the domination of property in Southern politics. By getting rid of the black labor vote, they would take their first and substantial step. By raising the race issue, they would secure domination over the white

labor vote, and thus the oligarchy that ruled the South before the war would be in part restored to power. It would, of course, lack capital. But the North stood ready to furnish capital if profit could be obtained, and it was being made more and more clear that this furnishing of capital, far from being contingent upon universal suffrage in the South, could be made more available even if the black labor vote was disfranchised completely, and white labor directed in the South by the same methods that were dominating it in the North.

'Tis not in the high stars alone, Nor in the cups of budding flowers; Nor in the redbreast's mellow tone, Nor in the bow that smiles in showers, But in the mud and scum of things There alway, alway something sings. Ralph Waldo Emerson”
BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA 1860- 1880, W.E.B. Dubois, introduction by David Levering Lewis, the Free Press new York 1998. Chapter X.

Only the corrupt entrenched ruling political class has good reasons for supporting either party. IMO, ordinary Americans should have abandoned both of them long ago. Better late than never.

Black Americans have had no good positive reason to support the RP since Lincoln.
Their support for the DP is generated by wide-spread dependence on meager govt programs for subsistence.
Programs that the RP threatens to cut w/o offering any plausible alternative. The DP offers next to nothing the RP offers nothing while insisting that 'The DP Sucks!'. Thin gruel.

 

That is non responsive. Why is there such a lack of diversity at Google Have they left the rational world, too?

 

You thought when I stated the party of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow laws, and labeling blacks like Larry Elder as the black face of white supremacy, I was talking about the left?
Interesting

 

Robert Byrd died in 2010 and his legacy lives on.

He knows. Of course Robert Byrd died just 12 years ago and his protégé is in the white house so this "stuff" is on going.

 

Why, not much has changed as most blacks leaving the party still claim they are getting off the Democrat plantation.
Like Democrats labeling Larry Elder as the black face of white supremacy.
Same party, different year.

 

You should be careful with threads like this. When you hurt their feewings they will twist what you said in your thread a thousand ways to make racist attacks.
When you hit them to close to home, they will melt down in harmony in hundreds of off topic accusations.
Par for the course

 

I just want to remind people that the subject of the thread is not which party is more racist or which party is better for black or brown voters. It is which party is better for white voters and more particularly why any sensible white person would ever vote democrat.

Just ask Simone Sanders she will tell you.

"We don't need white people leading the democrat party"
