Racist Republican caught on tape

[LoneLaugher]

Both? Stupid and lazy? Is that your position?

 

[Freewill]

It amazes me that "mainstream" republicans like Jake will believe anything fed them by the LL. Here is an article of one of the architects of the Nixon SS.

Up to this point, and after, the Republican party supported EVERY single civil rights act from the civil war. EVERY segregationist was in the democrat party. OK almost every one.

The Neocons and Nixon's southern strategy

Lear’s reflection upon ingratitude comes to mind as one reads of the squabble among neoconservatives over who among them was first to stick his nail file in the back of Trent Lott.

Charles Krauthammer enters a claim for the Kristol-Bennett crowd, while Jonah Goldberg of National Review and cashiered Bush speech-writer David Frum insist they, too, played supporting roles.

Whether Lott may have been innocent of any hate crime, or whether they might have had a moral duty to step in to stop a lynching of one of their own – even had Lott blundered – seem to be thoughts that never once intruded upon these tiny minds. Yet their collusion in ruining Lott, their relish in the pats on the head they are receiving from the left, confirm the suspicion: Neoconservatives are the useful idiots of the liberal establishment.

With Lott gone, Bill Kristol is now collaborating with the New York Times in its rewrite of the history of the 1960s, a decade of liberal debacles, to credit racism for the Republicans’ success.

“Lott is really virtually the last of the products of Richard Nixon’s ‘Southern Strategy’ to be in major positions of power in the Congress,” Kristol assures the Times. “With his leaving, you will have cleared out people who … have a somewhat compromised image to the country as a whole.”

Now, as a co-architect of the Nixon strategy that gave the GOP a lock on the White House for a quarter century, let me say that Kristol’s opportunism is matched only by his ignorance. Richard Nixon kicked off his historic comeback in 1966 with a column on the South (by this writer) that declared we would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the “party of Maddox, Mahoney and Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.”

In that ’66 campaign, Nixon – who had been thanked personally by Dr. King for his help in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1957 – endorsed all Republicans, except members of the John Birch Society.

In 1968, Nixon chose Spiro Agnew for vice president. Why? Agnew had routed George (“Your home is your castle!&#8221 Mahoney for governor of Maryland but had also criticized civil-rights leaders who failed to condemn the riots that erupted after the assassination of King. The Agnew of 1968 was both pro-civil rights and pro-law and order.

When the ’68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent. The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.

Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon – who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand:


•raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent;


•doubled the budget for black colleges;


•appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;


•adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities;


•invented “Black Capitalism” (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;


•raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, “It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South.”


The charge that we built our Republican coalition on race is a lie. Nixon routed the left because it had shown itself incompetent to win or end a war into which it had plunged the United States and too befuddled or cowardly to denounce the rioters burning our cities or the brats rampaging on our campuses.

Nixon led America out of a dismal decade and was rewarded with a 49-state landslide. By one estimate, he carried 18 percent of the black vote in 1972 and 25 percent in the South. No Republican has since matched that. To see Kristol colluding with the Times to rewrite that history to make liberals heroes and Republicans villains tells us more about him than about the era.

And where were the necons, when Goldwaterites and Nixonites were building the New Majority? Going all the way with LBJ.

Moved To Race Relations

Yes. The Democratic Party is CLEARLY the party of racists and bigots. That's why all the minorities avoid them so predictably.

wow and slaves fought for their slave masters....man

The democrats give them welfare and say if the republicans get in, you'll lose it....it's really not that hard to see how democrats do that...well maybe for you.

Are you saying that American minority voters are stupid, lazy or both?

I would say in general this holds for all democrats.

Why the loyalty to the democrat party is a mystery to me. Only democrats bring up the part about being stupid and lazy. I don't know why blacks remain in the party that did put there grandparents in chains, really don't. I think that the most racist thing I heard for a long time is when Biden bleated "they will put you all back in chains." Not a slave master like himself only the lowly blacks he is talking to. THAT is the definition of racism. THAT still lives in the Democrat party.

Well...that is because you ignore the context of Biden's comments. Willingly.

Enjoy your bubble.

Is it? Do white folks eat fried chicken as well?

Biden was talking about Wall Street. Context.

Freewill and Buckeye keep ducking the fact of Lee Atwater and how the Strategy came about.

Nothing have can explain Exclusive: Lee Atwater?s Infamous 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy | The Nation

The fact is simple: southern white males, when it comes to economic matters, will vote generally the same way, whether Dem or Pub.

BUT . . . add race to it, and 2 to 1, they will vote GOP.

This is what is taught in college, because it is true.

 

[depotoo]

By definition just calling a person a bad name is not racism.

racist
a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others.

Certainly she is in bad taste but she could be right, she could just not like the guy and used the worse derogatory name she could. Considering blacks use the term to describe each other then certainly the word alone is not racist.

That said if this were a Republican white guy the press would be all over it, maybe rightfully so. Really it is a non-story in my opinion. BTW isn't recording conversations without a person's knowledge against the law?

makes me think because they chose to record it this wan't the first time...

It just burns the hell out of me how the Dems were able to create such a false narrative and make it stick like glue. Anyone that really cares to know the entire truth only needs to research and study each and every character that was involved.

And the worst of it? It has been so detrimental to so many within our nation.

 

[JakeStarkey]

It burns me that reactionaries cling to a lying narrative instead of the truth.

Any Republican who wants to know the truth needs to begin with http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1968 and Exclusive: Lee Atwater?s Infamous 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy | The Nation.

Now shut up until you look and think about them.

We lose elections because reactionaries cling to false narratives.

 

[katsteve2012]

The humor is in this thread. Numerous white folks arguing over why some old hag called a black person a "******".

This incident isn't even newsworthy, and had nothing to do with what political party she belongs to.

She just got caught being herself and "keeping it real".

 

[Wicked Jester]

Ridiculous.

Elaborate further please...

Liberals are much less likely to use the term "******" in a derogatory manner than are conservatives. You said you hear liberals saying it all the time. I call bullshit. Bigotry is a plank in the GOP platform. Thus your false equivalency is ridiculous.

Do I need to educate you AGAIN on the definition of bigot, bigot?

And, don't think I didn't notice that you ran away from that thread with your tail between your legs after being thoroughly schooled, as you did on the thread where you were thoroughly schooled on the voucher system/charter school issue.

If you need to be educated yet again, just let me know,....it will yet again be my pleasure to teach ya' somethin'.

 

[Freewill]

Quote for Atwater:

You start in 1954 by saying ‘******, ******, ******.’ By 1968 you can’t say ‘******.’ That hurts you. It backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states rights and all that stuff and you get so abstract. Now you talk about cutting taxes and these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that’s part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract and that coded, we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. Obviously sitting around saying we want to cut taxes and we want this, is a lot more abstract than even the busing thing and a hell of a lot more abstract than ****** ******. So anyway you look at it, race is coming on the back burner.

Those who lived through time know for a fact that the first sentence is what was spoke by DEMOCRATS not Republican. Wallace said and did exactly as the first sentence speaks. He did well with that rhetoric but he WAS NOT A REPUBLICAN.

History is clear, Nixon's policies show he was not a racist.

Reagan was more a friend to blacks then is Obama, MLK's birthday, signed by a Republican.

The lies are all being told by the LL and they have been very, very effective.

 

[JakeStarkey]

freewill fibs. Atwater went on to state that on economic matters white southerners voted equally between dem and pub, but when the issue of race was at stake, white southerners after 1968 voted two to one for the pubs. Wallace was a conservative and Hubert Humphreys was a notorious liberal on civil rights. Yeah, the Southern Strategy was real and it began in 1968.
