Why Racists Donate To Republicans

Posted by | June 25, 2015 12:00 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


We shouldn’t be surprised that racists like Earl Holt of the Council of Conservative Citizens gives to Republicans, or that other racists do as well.

Think about their party’s systemic efforts to turn minorities away at the polls, under the flimsy guise of voter fraud. Think about the xenophobia and racism that even Republicans admit was the primary reason they failed on immigration reform.

hink about the historical use of the dog-whistle of “state’s rights” to oppose federal civil rights protections, and its current use to rally opposition to a black president and his Affordable Care Act. Because Republican governors refused to expand Medicaid, the reform ultimately left out two-thirds of the poor blacks and single mothers and more than half of the uninsured, low-wage workers it was supposed to help.

Plenty of Republicans are progressives on race issues, granted. Former Gov. Tom Kean, re-elected with two-thirds of the black vote, comes to mind. But the party is almost 90 percent white for a reason. Too many of its members have used race as a wedge issue.

    The people who are intelligent enough to know and research this account of racism know differently. The southern democrats adopted policies that led to slavery and the KKK. In 1965 it changed face with the changing of the guard in the democratic party and Franklin D Roosevelt first in 1940,s. He created Social Security later the democrats took on their real identity again and adopted AFDC in 1965. Lyndon Johnson signed into law the legislation that would keep them n—–s voting democrat or reliant for 200 years. This is what he called them again as a southern democrat. Liberals take on this new identity once in a while with gays an lesbian rights however they are still the same hypocritical and patronizing party to blacks they have always been!

      Getting any kind of “information” from Levin will not bode well for you.

    Klansmen only vote for Republiklans like GOP leader (R) David Duke!

    GOP leader David Duke is a neo-Nazi & former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. A former one-term Republican Louisiana State Representative, he was a candidate in the Republican presidential primaries in 1992 and 2012. (R-La) Duke unsuccessfully ran for the Louisiana State Senate, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and Governor of Louisiana. http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/david-duke Klansman (R) David Duke said in January, 2015 that he was considering running against Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) as the congressman tries to distance himself from an appearance he made at a conference hosted by Duke’s white supremacist group more than a decade ago. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/29/david-duke-steve-scalise_n_6575792.html

    Racism is the heritage of the Republican party and it continues. They want the right to be racists and be accepted as respectable. They want the right to discriminate others. They want the right to express their segregation ideals, their separatism, their prejudice, their intolerance, their discrimination— free of consequences.
    Racism is a heritage we have beaten back time and again and has always been considered an anathema of America. When a DEFEATED enemy of America—– FORCES their monuments and honors of their leaders IN American SOIL of their traitorous racist ancestors; it is time to right a wrong. 140, 000 plus AMERICAN CIVIL WAR UNION soldiers died for present and future day America. It is an affront to their sacrifice to allow the LOSER, the confederacy dictate their place in American history. It is an affront to the American Union soldiers that died for America and also the subsequent suffering of their American families. The honoring of confederate soldiers on American soil is WRONG. The confederates were/are not American Civil War Veterans- THEY WERE/ARE THE ENEMY. Racism is the heritage of the Republican Party because they embraced it whole heartedly with the Southern Strategy and its blatant racist driven history and agenda. You reap what you sow. There should be no GOVERNMENTAL honors on American soil of the enemies that kill our American Civil War Veterans, no monuments, no statues, no parks, no street names and no confederate flags. It is a affront to all American Veterans and all Americans period.
