I went out with 4 of the women I work with after work for a going away celebration. One of them was leaving for another job - they asked me to join them for a drink (which turned into about 30).
Anyway, we had started talking about past relationships. I was asked why I did not marry the girl I was engaged to. I told of some factors including that she wanted to stay in Florida (where I had no job) whereas I was offered a very nice job in the hell-hole of Detroit.
But what sealed it for me was their family. I mentioned that they were racist - in the fact that they would refer to any black person as "that nigger".
Well, what shocked me is that they replied, "you are a Republican - they talk the same way". It was like Superman having green Kryptonite shoved down his throat. I tried to counter that Pubs do not talk this way (My 'ex's family were Dems if that makes a difference) but they very casually aswered "yes they do".
I am not sure what to make of this. Is the GOP really regarded as racists by the average woman? Keep in mind that the ladies I was out with regard me as a friend and I hardly did anything except have an NRA sticker in my cube that would mark me as a partisan.
Does that mean they are, in a small minority, more bigoted than the like component on the left. Hardly. The dem politicos I know give no ground in ethnic centered behavior.
Second, within the conservative ranks, where conservatives honor voluntary association, sneaks the poor fearful bigot, wanting a world that doesn't exist. This small percentage is real, but shrinking. Prejudice is a word that has been wronged. When bigotry is called prejudice, confusion and poor thinking and behavior follows.
I think that thirdly (and last) there is a brain washing of the sheep that the media and academia does everyday to convince all that the Left is the right direction.
I agree. Every one I've spoken to has been diagnosed with a condition called "monumental stupidity."
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
And how long do they last, after they out themselves? Are there a few latent skinheads here? Sure. Are they tolerated once they are known? Nope. I don't like the implication that we tolerate the views of the Christian Identity Movement. They aren't welcome here. I don't know Jim; but I know Jim. That crap ain't welcome on his board. I'm sure the complaint I responded to was one of those "If you are against people breaking the law to get here, it must be because they have brown skin and not because they broke the law." That, also, is bullsh*t.
BTW, I am a traditional skinhead, which means that I abhor those racist boneheads who the press likes to refer to as skinheads. Another case of 'repeat a lie enough times...'
You need to take a closer look at those complaining to see what their true party affiliation is. The ones I have seen "complaining that the country is getting 'less white'" would spit blood and knives at you if you dared to call them "Republican". The GOP is more evil than Clinton to them.
I do agree with you that those who think only white is right are allowed too much of a platform here on FR.
Senator Robert C. Byrd (d) Governor George Wallace (d)
West Virginia Mississippi
Look, the southern Democrats ruled the south until around the time George Wallace came on the scene. George Wallace stood in the doorway and refused school access to blacks until President Kennedy federalized the National Guard and forced him to back down. You tell me who the old racists were. Around the time of Goldwater and Nixon the south was broken up and Republicans had a chance for the first time.<p>
Ask them if they know who Senator Robert C. Byrd is. Pictured above, Senator Robert C. Byrd Democrat for West Virgina was an actual member of the Klu Klux Klan. Can't be much more clear than that. And guess what, the Democrats are honored to have him counted among them to this day!
I was a member of the Republican party for thirty years. I never heard a one of them use the "N" word.
The Democrats love to rewrite history. You wouldn't know there was a single thing wrong with Socialism or Marxism if they had their way. Now they like to pretend that the Republicans are the major racists of the 20th Century. Not hardly!
It cracks me up to watch liberals say that blacks, hispanics, women, aren't smart enough, or hard working enough, to make a living. Therefore, we, the WASPS, must provide for them, like pets. And they call us racists.
These women above represent just a group of Elitist who set the tone and agenda for incompetent, the wells leaking type females. God has truly blessed women in this country with awesome men who can overcome such stupidity. There just aren't enough women sometimes to catch up with the brillant Conservative man!
Last week at a meeting of conservative/libertarian leaders one leader tried to scare us about immigration with the phrases "People who look like us" and "People who don't look like us". He apologized and excepted the lady next to him of Hispanic anscestry as if she were an immigrant. It never occurred to him that she was born in Illinois. Her parents in Michigan. Their parents for who knows how many generations in Texas. She may have been the most American of anyone in the room.
The rest of us in the room, both libertarian and conservative, tried to get him to see the error of his ways....without success. The pro-life leader pointed out that he had the least American lineage in the room. We all pointed out that the Hispanics we knew were pro-life, pro-capital punishment, pro-self-defense, pro-traditional family, and voted for Bush and local Republicans. They hate paying taxes and hate the DemocRAT PRI Party of Mexico, love the PAN Republican Party of Mexico and usually elect Republican governors of Puerto Rico. (OK, so those Puerto Rican governors are RINO's...just like Illinois. But they do have the R label.)
If the media had been at the meeting, they would have quoted the one racist and ignored that 20+ others who took him on.
At liberal meetings on abortion, affordable housing, etc. Nearly 1/3 of the liberals were just as racist as that one conservative. The media reported on these liberal meetings omitting the racist remarks. The stories were carefully edited of non-liberal views (eg mine) to best educate readers to the need for the liberal program.
The most common racist remarks by liberals were minorities were not smart enough to find housing. Hispanics were not smart enough to make proper family planning choices and needed special help with that. They were not talking about welfare moms. They were talking about college educated minority hospital nurses and medical technicians, engineers at Motorola, police and firefighters.
