It is hard enough for many people to admit they were wrong, that the current officeholder did not have their basic interests at heart, but only the interests of those who serve his agenda, without additionally having to be claimed to be 'siding with racists' who would be defined as not having their best interests at heart.
Place other people whose genuine interests might obviously be best served by conservative policies in the position of having to be a 'sell out' to say as much, and it will not ever be said.
I will grant that that is not the only voting bloc suckered by the campaign, but it is one we will never fracture if we cannot leave melanin out of the equation and make our case against the current regime on the basis of its actions and their effects on us all.
We can be angry over the extra-Constitutional acts of the administration, the Socialist takeover of banking institutions, auto manufacturers, the spinoff effects on suppliers, the coming assault on the energy industry and all consumers thereof, the compromising of national security and defense... There is plenty enough to be mad about, things which affect us all, and our not using words which can be branded as 'racist terminiolgy' will let even more people get mad about it.
Otherwise, those selfsame people will close ranks against what will continue to be preaented and perceived as a more seminal and greater threat, and the other positions against the policies of the administration will be made untenable for anyone who could otherwise join freedom-loving and Conservative Americans in the battle to return this country to a Constitutional Republic.
Not every one in that group stands to benefit or profit by this administration's policies, and any business owner should be substantially opposed to much proposed and enacted by this administration, regardless of who they are.
Rather than present issues in a divisive manner (where we can be divided and conquered), we should present them in a manner which shows how they affect us all.
As for the way those children were dressed, I have known dirt-floor dirt poor families who would not let their children out in public dressed so shabbily. Color had nothing to do with it, it was a matter of self-respect.
In a large sense, my problems with some conservatives have little to do with alleged racism, but more the overreaction and inability to fight back in word and deed. And this truly is why I commented in the first place.
I think that if we understand that what is happening to our country is a direct result of alleged conservative politicians that do not have the skills, the stones or the courage to stand up and say what needs to be said, PC be dammed, then we deserve exactly what we get. Country first and damn the torpedo's. We haven't had a person in a position of leadership in some time that is articulate enough to do that.
Where does that leave us? We keep voting Republican and look what that gets us. Republican politicians fold like cheap lawn chairs because they are afraid, like many here, of the wrath of the left. Where does that get us?
That is why I have taken a personal pledge to never, never vote again for a Republican who will not stand up and say, “Look, here is what is happening to our country, and here is why it has happened”.
So, there has to be a start somewhere, there has to be someone who can address these issues in language that is not offensive, yet with language that will not yield to the transparent and destructive left.
