First off you don't know if I'm a boy or a man you don't even know if I'm male. So figure that out before you call someone out of their name. As for welfare since 49% of the country is on welfare I guess that means a lot of white people are in the same hole since not every black person is eligible for welfare. Now with that said what Republican policy is good for black people? Because reducing the size of government when so many black people work a government job doesn't sound good. School vouchers doesn't sound to good since not every school will take the vouchers. Privatizing of social security doesn't sound good since a lot of people work jobs that do not offer any retirement at all.

I am suggesting that seeing another being racist and not saying or doing anything does not make you better because you weren't being racist.

Yes, we see everything through a prism of race because that is the first thing we see about a person and according to our biases we react, then we see the sex of the person and react then we may see more if we care to see more

I believe in freedom as well but if I look a certain way and your bias of that look affects me then who has the freedom? It's not freedom if I have to be aware of how I look or present myself at all times when I am outside of my home.

Every campaign political and non political has a targeted audience and a message for that audience. The message that is implied will only be received by the person or persons that it's intended to reach. Like welfare reform means nothing to me, I'm not on it and will never qualify for it and if it was eliminated tomorrow I will not see my tax rate go down. But to someone who feels very strongly against it will hear the message and will vote for whoever is delivering the message.

It seems to me that you need to go back and study history and not the cleaned up version of history. Yes, America has tried to right some of it wrongs, and I am happy you are not a racist. But what makes you not a racist? Is it because you don't hate or judge black people based off of a bias? Or is it because when you see someone who is being racist you call them on their actions. I can say I'm not a thief because I don't steal but if I see someone stealing and don't say or do anything am I any better?

He's not talking about every Republican, He's talking about the core of the Republican party. Which if you looked at pass actions of the party's core would make one question. You need to understand that the Republican party uses phases in there targeted campaigns to get an emotional reaction. Now the same phrase will get different reactions according to who receives the phase.

Policies are not handouts, Policies are the plans or strategy impose to affect a outcome, which do sometimes translates to handouts. So is it affective to vote for a person who says they will get jobs back in America but create more enemies to do so? Or what if the jobs that are brought back are low waged jobs. Keep in mind some of the Republican policies have allowed jobs to leave the country as well as some of the Democrat policies have allowed the same thing. We need to stop looking at the handouts being given and question the bigger issue. Because once the bigger issue is solved the handouts will lessen.

Okay, so how are they racist?

Because what's best for America is not the best for all Americans.

What is it that he said is crap? Because I do not see how the Republicans are courting the black vote" I don't see how they're setting policy that's helping black folks or helping the black folks see that their policies are good for them .

Because all these groups have the power to oppress you right? And they prove that they are better than you right?

While its true that the word racism is used to much and sometimes in the wrong context. But most blacks today do know racism, true the younger don't know it to be so blatant like it was back before it a bad thing to be a racist. Now black people have to read between the lines, but they can still recognize it.

I see you don't practice what you preach.

Be careful what you wish for.

Yes, she made it seem worse than it was. but the comment that I was replying to was not aimed at just her. As for calling a spade a spade. I am sure you knew that "spade" was use to refer to a black person negatively just like the word "n!gga"

Conservatives keep it alive for political gain as well. In fact they use it to make you agree to legislation that they want passed, or to get you to vote. They even use it to cause fear. if you don't believe that look back at pass republican elections and listen for key words. Like "Welfare" to make you vision a black lazy person eating good off of your tax dollars. That was used to get you to demand the federal govt to cut welfare spending. "Thugs" to make you vision a black criminal. So you would demand harsher sentence for criminals. They also use the black percentage numbers so you will feel another way. Like the 70% black single parent birth rate, so that you will pity the blacks for having all these dead beat fathers, so that when blacks complain about there schools failing their children, you will believe it is because of a lack of both parents in the household. When talking about abortion they use the black percentage so that you feel the way the want you to feel when it comes time. Unlike the 50's and 60's it's harder to prove racism. The actions have been disguised, the wording has changed, the line between racism and prejudice have been blurred. That's so the racist can deflect and hide the racism and turn it around to blame the victim. Now I know conservative get called racist all the time by the liberals but that's because the racist Dixiecrat's of the south have been voting republican since the 60's and still vote republican.
