Democrats, Racism, and Free Markets

[AntonToo]

Impossible. They're still Democrats.

...But then there are actual facts.

 

[PoliticalChic]

1. Jim Crow Laws:

"It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other at any game of pool or billiards."


"All marriages between a white person and a negro, or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited."


"No colored barber shall serve as a barber to white women or girls."


"Separate free schools shall be established for the education of children of African descent; and it shall be unlawful for any colored child to attend any white school, or any white child to attend a colored school."

2. As is regularly pointed out on this board, the Jim Crow laws were due to the power of Democrats in control of government.
Democrat: the party of slavery, segregation, second class citizenship....and over regulation of private industry.
Those two aspects of Democrat policy are linked...as I will show.


a. Now....an example of what changed, and largely ended institutional racism.....Republicans:

In 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenation law.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew#Governor_of_Maryland


b. Sadly, continued power of Democrats has resulted in this:

"... in today’s recovery — the slowest in the modern era going back to 1947 — private capital investment has lagged badly. ... so has the jobs situation, with 92 million dropping out of the workforce altogether. A labor-participation rate of 62.8% and an employment-to-population rate of 58% are historic lows indicative of the anemic jobs recovery.

β. (CNSNews.com) – The unemployment rate for black Americans is more than double that of white Americans, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).... In the numbers released today, covering the month of June, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for black Americans age 16 and over was 10.7%, reported the BLS. The unemployment rate for white Americans in the same age group and time-frame was 5.3%, said the BLS. Black Unemployment 10.7%, More Than Double White Unemployment 5.3%


γ. "CHICAGO (Reuters) - Predominantly African-American neighborhoods in Chicago have seen poverty rise and services diminish even as the nation's third largest city has become less racially segregated,.... black areas are seeing economic stagnation or decline,.... mostly black areas have lost health clinics, social service agencies and other areas of support..." Exclusive: Poverty up, services diminished in Chicago's black neighborhoods - study




Let's see how Democrat policies are related to, and advance, racism.

Coming right up.....

It is correct and proper to point out that the Democrats of the Jim Crow era were status quo hugging Conservative leftovers of the antebellum South! And there's no way of getting around that fact, unless one wants to keep shifting the narrative through lies and distortions of history and truth!

That's right, Democrats ran the racists out of the party and they have since made their home with the Republicans who ran Southern Strategy campaign to attract them.

Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.

RNC Chief to Say It Was 'Wrong' to Exploit Racial Conflict for Votes

Oh....this dunce demands to be slapped around,too!

OK.

· George Wallace was a Democrat.

· Bull Connor was a Democrat.

Segregationists Lyndon Johnson, Al Gore, Sr., Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox (they supported Jimmy Carter), KKKer Hugo Black- appointed to the Supreme Court by Franklin Roosevelt, Sam Ervin, William Fulbright,....

...and, to bring it right up to today......Bill 'the rapist' Clinton....a racist through his entire political career.

Every one a Democrat.




Language is important, so in any discussion of who the segregationists were, liberals switch the word “Democrats” to “southerners” or 'conservative.

But it is a diaphanous lie.

The were always Democrats and remain so....just as you are a moron and will always remains so.



Remember, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was supported by all the Republicans in the Senate, but only 29 of 47 Democrats…and a number of the ‘segregationist’ Democrats were northern Dems (Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming). Not southerners: Democrats.

 

[Conservative65]

Impossible. They're still Democrats.

It's not inconceivable that Democrats are racist. The head one is President.

Everything I post is an "actual fact."


Like....you're a moron, and will always be so.

 

[AntonToo]

This should be your signature, so you can properly context that everything you post is coming from a retarded person with no self awareness.

Fun fact for you - surrounding something in quotes usually denotes sarcasm, which makes your statement super hilarious because you are so oblivious about it.

 

[The VOR]

We all know the history of how the Dixiecrats hopped over to the republican party as a result of – in opposition to - desegregation. Kinda like what your party's going through right now in response to the first half black guy in the white house. Some of you just flipped over to batshitcrazy; you being chief among them.

"We all know the history of how the Dixiecrats hopped over to the republican party..."

A lie.

Never happened....just propaganda meant to influence the slow witted....you.


Some of the Left's lies are so transparent that it is hard to imagine any but the most committed simpletons believing them...and we have one in that post.

Like this: "Well...yeah, everyone knows that early Democrats were the party of slavers...but then...around the 1960s the two parties flip-flopped their positions on slavery, segregation and black people....and it is the Republicans who decided to become the racists!!!
Yup.....that's it!"

(I left out all the 'duh's' that would be appropriate for said dialogue.)


Since their acolytes cannot deny that that the inception of the Republican Party was motivated by a hatred of slavery and segregation, while the Democrats were the party of Jim Crow laws and the KKK, they claim that circa 1960, while the Democrats suddenly had an epiphany, and saw the error of their ways.....the Republicans suddenly developed a hatred of blacks and a desire for segregation.


Yes....many of the dimwits actually claim that.

Hard to imagine that they believe it...but they claim it.



The pretense is eminently simple to disprove.


Ask a Leftist, Democrat supporter what the chances are that, after a lifetime of believing as he does, arguing DNC talking points, reading the NYTimes, and watching MSNBC, being indoctrinated...er, 'taught' in government schools, and watching Comedy Central for his news.....

.....what he thinks the chances would be that he woke up tomorrow praising George Bush's election and presidency, and voting Republican.




And that calculation represents the same chance that Republicans and conservatives suddenly decided to become racists.

You're wasting your time, they are part of the indoctrination from the party. But I do admire your perseverance

Am I detecting a little spark here between you and the OP?

It is common knowledge on the board that you have a certain warm, wet fondness for the CHICs on the board.

It was lifelong Democrat and KKK member Robert Byrd that led a filibuster against Civil Rights legislation.

You're a Liberal. That, by default, makes you a retard.

Yea and he apologized and denounced all of it.

Let's see how Democrat policies are related to, and advance, racism...

Is the decline in many of our cities a function of (perhaps) well-intentioned gov't policies or of the rapid loss of manual labor jobs caused by our increasingly high-tech workplace? Manual labor jobs didn't require much in the way of education or innate intelligence (not that some didn't have it).

When the iceman lost his job (thanks to refrigeration) there were still plenty of other low-skill jobs to be had. Today there is no market for those squeezed out by progress.

I can see what you are saying but I've often wondered if our cities are failing because of decades of Dem leadership or if they have "enjoyed" decades of Dem leadership because they are failing.

Only a Liberal retard would think so.

Doesn't change that he did it nor does it eliminate the effects of having done it.

Then you must agree that if a person robs a bank as long as they give back the money, nothing really occurred?

I have a specific point in mind, as per the title of the thread....and don't wish to give my view, a detailed one, at this time.

But...Democrat minimum wage laws are largely at the root of the problem.

1. While legislative bodies have the power to order wage increases, they have not as of yet found a way to order commensurate increases in worker productivity that make the worker’s output worth the higher wage.
2. Further, while Congress can legislate the wage at which labor transactions occur, it cannot require that the transaction actually be made, and the worker hired. ....walter e. williams

No really, it is seriously stupid to broad brush in such ridiculous, blatantly false way.

So you're one of those idiots that thinks the long term effects of an action no longer exist because the person taking the action apologized for having done it.

It's not a broad brush statement when it applies to all you Liberal retards.

wtf? Did I say that Democrat racist past had no effects?

What was said that racists were driven out of the Democrat party and now find their home with Republicans who actively solicited them with Southern Strategy, which they fully acknowledge.

whatever you say retard.
