Racism- The Tool Of The Left To Maintain Power

1. 0

   Poppa Bluesposted 10 years ago

   It's so obvious it's almost laughable, especially when the racist card is played on the Tea Party. This is the political strategy of the left, to use racism to their advantage. The left will never recognize the progress of minorities, in fact they will work behind the scenes to prevent it just so they can always have this tool in their toolbox. It's disgusting!

      Black is white, up is down, black racism is the problem. Surely you don't believe that.

         The article points out that the left promotes the idea that America is a racist country, that the republicans are racists, in order to garner the minority vote, without which they wouldn't be able to hold onto power. It isn't about black racism, it's about the left using racism as a tool, promoting the idea that republicans, and the Tea Party, and conservatives are racists to get votes for themselves. What can be more racist than that?

            I have no doubt that some in the left use racism in America, and particularly racism among Tea Party members and Republicans, as a way to encourage those who care about racism to vote Democratic.  That is not racist; that is simply highlighting one significant difference between the two parties so that people can make an informed decision about who they want to represent them.

               So you think the republicans and the Tea Party are all racists?
               
               Than you've been played by the dems.
               
               They aren't just using racism, they are promoting the idea that it exists in greater proportion than it actually does and discounting the progress minorities have made in this country, even the obvious, that we have a black president, which we wouldn't have if whites didn't vote FOR him!

                  No, I don't think the republicans and Tea Party are ALL racists.  However, I do believe that racists gravitate to the Tea Party and the Republican Party more so than the Democratic Party.  This has repeatedly been shown to be true through numerous polls and studies.  It is a fact, Poppa.
                  
                  Yes, we have a black president, which has brought out the worst in the conservative base, who will go so far as to deny that he is an American citizen and accuse him of being a Muslim (to them, Muslim = bad) in order to discredit him.  Besides, do you think it was Republican whites who voted for Obama?  lol

   Racism will end with the rise of the central state. Once power is unified we will use selective abortion combined with sterilization of undesirables to purify the DNA code of humanity.
   Race will not play a part in the selection just the quality of DNA.  There will be a license issued to breeders to keep population from rising above the preset level.  Any unlicensed conception will be aborted with repeat violations resulting in sterilization.  The state will then take custody of newborns to be raised by government care workers to provide a good environment with proper nutrition and the correct programming.
   Race will not even be a consideration once our plan is fully implemented globally.

   Many conservatives think Obama is a Muslim.
   
   Conservatives want to seal the borders against Latino migrant workers.
   
   Conservatives are against rich white people being taxed to help poor and minority people.
   
   Conservatives used a fraudulent video to destroy ACORN, which was an advocacy group that registered millions of minority voters. 
   
   White conservatives have no understanding of white privilege and think that black anger about slavery and civil rights somehow equals centuries of white dominance and oppression.

      You ask, but I wonder if you really want to know or if it is just an excuse to repeat your poltical bias again. 
      
      "Many conservatives think Obama is a Muslim."
      
      Most do not, and "Muslim" is not a race, professor.
      
      "Conservatives want to seal the borders against Latino migrant workers."
      
      No, they want to control the borders to stop illegal immigration.
      
      "Conservatives are against rich white people being taxed to help poor and minority people."
      
      That is not true, and again not about race aside from the racist element YOU inserted into the statement, which says a lot about you.
      
      "Conservatives used a fraudulent video to destroy ACORN, which was an advocacy group that registered millions of minority voters. "
      
      ACORN is still lurking in the grass. They are an unbelievably corrupt organization that violated US election laws
      
      "White conservatives have no understanding of white privilege and think that black anger about slavery and civil rights somehow equals centuries of white dominance and oppression."
      
      Now THAT is a racist statement, not to mention illogical and presumptuous.

      If anyone thinks Obama is Muslim, they are uninformed or perhaps confused by his Muslim name.
      
      Conservative want to seal the borders from all illegal entry. It's a matter of security, it's not just aimed at Mexicans. There's a northern border too, but the left likes to point to the illegal Mexican problems and make the issue about race, and your post supports that point, it helps them gain the Latin vote and maintain their power.
      
      Conservatives are against the redistribution of wealth, of the government being the middle man in a transaction of conscience. It doesn't matter what color you are, again you threw in the "white" label to make the issue a race issue further providing support for the article's contention.
      
      You call it fraudulent video, but the video speaks for itself, and those people were fired. There have been many convictions of ACORN workers involved in corruption and voter fraud. They certainly haven't been destroyed either, they just changed their name.

   If it's not racism, then it's something else. Human beings by nature seem to find "something" and be against it. I'll give you an example, let's say for example that every single human on the planet had the same skin tone, there was no different color. People would start grouping by hair and eye color, and etc. That make sense? The green eyed are superior to the blue eyed, the fair colored hair superior to the dark haired, etc.
