Why White Voters With Racist Views Often Still Support Black Republicans (obligatory barf alert)
FiveThirtyEight ^ | 10 Nov, 2021 | Hakeem Jefferson and Michael Tesler

Can white voters who back a Black candidate still hold racist beliefs and views?

Virginia Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears during an election night rally.

That question has come to the fore in the wake of Glenn Youngkin’s gubernatorial victory in the blueish state of Virginia. Conservatives were quick to counter claims that Youngkin’s win represented the effectiveness of stoking racial fears with results from Virginia’s down-ballot election for lieutenant governor — a contest where the Republican candidate, Winsome Sears, made history by becoming the first Black woman elected to statewide office in Virginia. The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, for example, emphatically mocked the notion that “voters called white supremacists elected a Black Lt. Gov.” Conservative commentators on Fox News and Twitter, including Sears herself, also used the historic victory as an ostensible shield against accusations of Republican racism.

Isn’t the democRAT party the party that backed slavery and now wants everyone to be a slave to the state?

I forgot that it is now racist to be opposed to communism.

You only voted for Sears to prove you’re not a racist, so you could go on being a racist. Same thing as for Obama. You’re racist because you think racist thoughts without acting on them, you’re such a hypocrite./s

Being a Lib must be a Mind numbing experience, they always have to come up with a convoluted explanation for why something happened.

Yes, it’s horrifying when a woman with brown skin leaves Massa’s plantation.

So, the phrase: “White Supremacists Elected her” came from a Joy Reid. She had to come up with a reason Sears won, and it was disgusting, degrading and well, an incredible racist statement on her part. Many Democrat Pundits have mirrored her and become like obedient little sheep, falling into place going: “Bah Bah, White Supremacists, Bah Bah”. The complete insanity of it all is mind boggling. The Left has made charges of racism again anyone they don’t like, and this is just gone too far. We need to call them out for being the true racists in this country. Sears won on merit and her platform. And the Left needs to stop acting like this is a junior High student council and quit whining and crying and lying about the winner. Grow the frack up, accept the loss, act like an adult, and move on.

Maybe, just maybe, conservative voters pay attention to conservative credentials more than skin color.

White conservatives are not the ones who believe black people are incapable of doing the most mundane things like getting an ID or using the internet without special white liberal help and an endless supply of tax dollars

It is about time that Whites figure out that there is nothing short of total abasement (and sometimes not even that...) that is not “Racist.”

You never win with these nutcases, so stop worrying about what they think.

Part of their problem is what they label “racist” views. I fully admit to being “half-racist”, because I openly despise and have little respect for at least half of African-Americans. But the other half or so I have no problem. They can be my next door neighbor and we will get along fine.

Sooo, am I really a racist??? Because there are a lot of black people who despise the other half just like I do. See: The Uncivil War by Taleeb Starkes, or see this:

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a162/esq1206blackessay-108/

Sooo, is it really racist to believe that blacks are more violent, or is it just reality. I bet the author of the piece don’t hang around in the hood no more than the rest of us.

Marxism begat Critical Theory, which is Cultural Marxism, begat Critical Legal Theory — which is Marxist lawfare — begat Critical Race Theory — which is Marxist racism.

To paraphrase The Wall: “You cannot discuss race unless you agree to use our Marxist comprehension of race! How can you discuss race without our Marxist comprehension of race?”

A ship wreck left three black men stranded on a desert island with only a crate full of canned beans for food but no can opener.

The first spoke up: “I’m Ben Carson, famous surgeon and conservative. I always carry a pen knife with me in case I need to perform emergency surgery and I can use it to open the cans and from research I undertook while in government service I also know how we can build a safe boat from the crate and get us off this island.”

The second spoke up: “Save the edge on your knife in case you need to use it, Ben. I’m the famous inventor and businessman Lonnie Johnson and looking at the crate, the wood and kinds of fasteners available, I can not only build a serviceable can opener but I think with odds and ends in my pocket I can make us a radio to call for help.”

The third spoke up: “I’m Ibrahim Kendi, famous professor and activist, and I question your willingness to use cans and a crate obviously designed to further white supremacy and cultural hegemony.”

“White racism” has become a non-falsifiable doctrine like “climate-change” alarmism; no matter what happens, no matter how contradictory from previous predictions, the theory is said to explain it.

The ONLY racists in America today are democRATs, as they always talk about race and divide by race and pit us against each other by race. They and their colluders have stolen our election and our freedoms while calling us names, but sometimes the chicken comes home to roost. I read an article with a perfect example, “Cardiologist Who Said He ‘Won’t Cry at Funeral’ For “Selfish” Unvaccinated People Suddenly Dies in His Sleep 2 Weeks After 3rd Covid Jab”, and you can give that a look at GatewayPundit. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that headline, which isn’t the first such example and won’t be the last either. Democrats never gave up their plantations they just moved them to big cities they control, offering the illusion of freedom and with the new crop being votes.

Backed implies past tense. They NEVER changed. They just got sneaky about it all.
