What social science tells us about racism in the Republican party
The Washington Post' Wonkblog ^ | December 11, 2015 | Max Ehrenfreund

Presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to bar all Muslims from entering the United States has reignited an old debate about the Republican Party, which some see as the party of intolerance.

Liberal critics have long insisted that Republican candidates use coded language that sounds respectable on its face but covertly signals an outdated view of race, ethnicity and religion to their constituents. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) voiced this perspective on Tuesday, saying that Trump's words and policies simply reveal the true values of the party and its supporters....

What does it say about racism in the communist DemocRAT party? The Party of Intolerance. DemocRATS hate Christians but love radical Islamic Muzzies.

Not wanting to be killed = racist!

Trump has 25% black support. They support him in big numbers on dealing with illegal immigration and Muslims.

Go figure. Guess they are racists too.

I think that all of Social Science has proven that Republicans are poopy-heads. It’s settled science, and there is consensus.

When someone’s “religion” compels them to subjugate, convert or kill all unbelievers, it’s commonsense to exclude them.
All muslims are required to see sharia law replace our laws.

Islam is completely incompatable with western civilization.

Renouncing Islam should be the price of admittance.

Making excuses for lack of success in minority neighbors on behalf of the minorities is the worst racism there is.

Of course this is coming from the Washington compost....

The Democrat party hates white people—specially Christians. There it is no need for code words it’s out in the open now. This is why many Democrat voters are even switching for Trump.

What part of the race card does Jimmy Carter own for deporting and blocking Iranians. Many of the people he blocked were anti ayatollah Iranians. How did that work out for us?

Uhhh, let's see:

-Republican Party formed to oppose Slavery.

-Over 500,000 Republicans killed to free slaves.

-Republican Dwight Eisenhower tried to integrate Little Rock schools.

-In my hometown of Meridian, Mississippi, before Ronald Reagan all the blacks either lived in shotgun shacks or Government housing (except for Charles Young and his family). After Reagan, blacks lived in middle to upper class housing.

-More blacks were working when Reagan was President than ever before.

-Under B. Hussein, blacks are losing jobs at a record rate.

If Trump gets above 30% of the black vote, expect a resurrection of the Ku Klux Klan.

Church bombings and lynchings didn't stop in the South, until blacks became a reliable Democrat vote.

BS theory frome a BS newspaper! More likely: secretly liberal journalists (who see themselves as unbiased), with an instinctive bias against conservatives, see themselves and other political liberals as champions of minorities & anyone who politically disagrees with the political liberalism, therefore as “racist”. BS! Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out :)
