<<He [LBJ] was referring to Democrats.>>
Yes, and WHO did he think the Democrats were losing the South TO?
[/quote] LBJ was wrong wasn't he?
Democrats remained a very strong majority in local and state government for thirty years , voting for Democrats always more than 40% in national elections even still. If the effect of racism is positive for Republicans , then the effect is slow and small.
<<If a white man were to support his race, above all others, he'd be referred to as a racist. Someone that actually doesn't embrace "race 1st", is the embodyment of MLK's dream, where it was character that mattered. Your position equates to the KKK position......just advocating a different color>>
That's not a bad point, but it was already posed by another poster in a different thread, where I answered it.
still waiting for a convincing definition of racism
The true interests of a majority race in a democratic society is not the oppression of other races (which leads only to civil strife)
or several centurys of making money
but in harmonious and fair relations between the races. Thus a KKK, in seeking continued white supremacy, is actually acting against the interests of the white majority that he claims to be fighting for. The interests of the minority race, of course, is to throw off the last vestiges of racist oppression and speed the day of equality and fairness for all.
This is best done by racist attacks by the minority and its well wishers?
In a somewhat related vein, the so-called "post-racial society" that BT refers to is pure bullshit. There is no such thing as "post-racial society" because racism still exists as a powerful force in U.S. society,
So POWERFULL that it must be veiled in codes so impenitrable that only the very astute can tell it is there
major guardian of which is now the GOP. Hence, the same phony claims to a post-racial society are part of the same propaganda offensive in which Uncle Toms like the Herminator .................................
It may be hard for you to face the truth, but you are promoting division with racism, working against the promotion of a man because of his race and useing terms that are not coded racism , they are blatant racism.
Going strictly by your words here,The truth is that there is no reasonable definition of "racist" that would leave you out.
