Many racists proclaim people “misunderstand racism” when their different standards for different races are denounced for being racist. After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism, generation after generation, people are done hearing the moralizing excuses for why this time Democrats have the magic formula for virtuous bigotry.

  >After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism Is this serious comment? There was nothing that happened in the parties in the 1960s? Maybe 1964? All of a sudden the people in the south just suddenly decided to no longer be racist, and joined the Republican party fighting _against_ racism?

    > All of a sudden the people in the south just suddenly decided to no longer be racist That's pretty much what happened. The CRA (passed despite the opposition of southern Democrats) shifted the social equilibrium away from racism and a segregated society being totally normal and state-sanctioned, and Southern states had to reinvent themselves along different lines. They broadly chose economic freedom starting from the 1980s (despite continuing opposition by Dems, who to this day favor heavy-handed state intervention and a highly paternalistic attitude towards minorities), which is what created the modern Sunbelt.

    Yes — the same party has been persistently racist. After the Civil War, they formed the KKK and Jim Crow to circumvent civil rights. In modern times, they implemented racial quotas then racial preferences, both of which were ruled illegal bigotry by the US Supreme Court. (At Harvard and UNC, just last year.) The same party who called blacks “super predators” (Clinton) and whose current president described integrated schools as a “racial jungle” (Biden). The same party whose supporters are in the streets today, chanting genocidal slogans such as “from the river to the sea”. The former DNC chairwoman just this week mocked the name of someone born in the US with Indian heritage and told him to “go home!” https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4319012-vivek-ramaswamy-calls-out-donna-brazile-for-mispronouncing-name/ https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4319012-vivek-ramaswamy-c... That you think the Democrats are anything but persistently racist is a testament to how well propaganda works.

  you can’t be racist against white people. the definition of racism centers on power not the tone of dermis. read some different books and open up that independent thinking some.

    1930s Europe: "you can’t be racist against Jewish people. the definition of racism centers on power not the tone of dermis. read some different books (Mein Kampf, The International Jew) and open up that independent thinking some." Pat yourself on the back I guess. Your blind hatred of White people has caused you to use literal Nazi rhetoric.

    That is a very new definition created by the woke left to justify being racist against white people. Pretty much only they believe it.

    Institutional racism happens against white people — and denying that is supporting racism, even by your modern definition meant to minimize the on-going racism of the Democratic Party. Eg, this racist policy by Democrats. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-farmers-loan-forgiveness-lawsuit-racial-bias/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-farmers-loan-forgiveness-... Democrats are also systemically racist to Asians such as at Harvard and UNC. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf I’d encourage you to stop taking your talking points from KKK meetings about how you’re virtuous for engaging in race-based discrimination. Your modern apologetics for bigotry are as vapid as 1920s Klansmen talking about “protecting their community”.
