No. I was just asked to give an example as to when Republicans had been racist.
In illustrating that, you don't need to get defensive, I understand it goes both ways. When they announced Obama won in 2008, there were Jamaican Blacks celebrating in the streets by where I lived while I was jogging, and since I voted for Obama (I drank the kool-aid too), I gave them a gesture that would indicate I was happy at the outcome... They all got quiet and gave me this look like they were confused at why I would be happy. It was as if they thought it was a victory only for Blacks.
It's ironic because in voting trends in the past, Jamaicans are hard-line conservatives, and had only voted Republican in the district where they predominately are registered in Miami.
Regardless, I'm not pointing a finger, and to be honest, my ultimate intent was just to say that Republicans would have a far larger base if they stuck to promoting their economic/tax policies instead of using rhetoric that alienates minorities. Are you going to honestly tell me if I read through this board I wouldn't find a slew of racially charged remarks about welfare recipients, immigrants, and the President?
Come to edumacate us stooopid raaaacists republicans, have you? Well let me edumacate you. I'm not a republican, political parties do not define me, I am a conservative. I have lib friends, I have black friends, I have hispanic friends, I have indian friends, I have native american friends, I have lesbian friends and I have male homosexual friends. I have lots of friends. Know what? Race never comes up. Politics never come up. Sexual preference never comes up and I am not in the minority of conservatives. Racial/sexual bias is nothing more than a liberal myth the MSM and the libbies promote. Apparently you fell for it.
Know what? My favorite candidate is a black man by the name of Herman Cain. Why do I like him? Not because he is black, but because I think he is better than the fool that is currently president. The man is smart, a proven leader, and could lead us out of the disaster that obumble has wrought on the great nation. He also endorses the Fair Tax which I think is a great idea.
But us conservatives are raaaacists.
Did the conservatives call a black man on the supreme court an uncle Tom? Nope... that was libs. Did conservatives call the first black US Sec of State a "house ******"? Nope that was the libs too.
Yet us conservatives are raaaacists.
I say the problem is with the minorities, those that sit around and blame whitey for their bad decisions.
By the way... I am 1/4 native american. My grandmother was a Blackfoot Indian.
