    Here is an actual thread about a cherrios "interracial" commercial...

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=305611

    Want to take a guess as to the number of "conservatives" who have an issue with the commercial? Let me help you out, the members who complain about it being "interracial" are some of the most "conservative" members here.

    Take a look at this post from that thread.....now look at the people who "liked" that post, every one of them are self-proclaimed "conservatives" here...that my friend is more telling about "conservatives" than any double speak people try to do here....

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=305611&p=1062698192#post1062698192

    Oh snap, here is another post with a bunch of "likes" from conservatives....

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=305611&p=1062698293#post1062698293

    So, I have NO idea where people are getting this information that "conservatives" are racist.......:roflol:

    The ONLY people who are dividing this country are conservatives.

    I'm not saying there aren't dads of both races who don't want their daughters dating guys from another race, but that isn't really the issue. The issue is the polling showing more more conservatives than liberals in mixed race families. My earlier comment on that is that it matches what I've seen (which of course is anecdotal). But if you think it's the liberal dads who are the accepting ones for whoever makes their daughter happy, than I'm thinking you are in an extremely rarefied strata of human contact.

    If you look at the larger political scene, a lot of news articles were generated over the fact that new New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio is in an interracial marriage. But that's because he's liberal (well, actually he's a Sandanista - he's pretty far out there). He is the only nationally prominent Dem who is in an interracial marriage that I can think of, and he's relatively new to the national political scene. Meanwhile, there was far less press generated that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is in an interracial marriage. He came to prominence over 20 years ago, when interracial marriages were far less common. William Cohen, former Secretary of Defense and Republican, is in an interracial marriage. It's just more common on the right side of the aisle.

    As I stated earlier, I don't know why that is. I don't have a theory as to why interracial marriages would be more acceptable on the right. For right now, it's merely an observation. Your idea of the "truth" doesn't cancel out objective reality, although I suppose it will cancel it out for you.

    What "false meme"?
    Are conservatives one solid block of people who all feel exactly the same way about everything?

    What we have said is that the GOP tries to put together a coalition of voters, and one of the groups they target is white racists.
    And nothing in this thread or any other thread has done anything to change that.

    Those were "leftists" pretending to be conservatives!

    When you show proof of blatant conservative racism, their first defense is claiming that those were "leftists" posing as conservatives. They will never admit the truth. It's kind of like how they convinced themselves that the KKK was/is a group of liberals. Conservatives are the masters when it comes to revisionist history. Watch, years from now they'll be the ones trying to take the credit for equal rights for Gays.

    What exactly should those stats represent? If you look at inter-racial marriages, the largest number of minorities marring into white families are Latinos/Latinas. Ironically, this is the same demographic fought "tooth and nail" by conservatives to eliminate from the political equation. But to the point, since they are the largest growing minority group in the US and there is such and anti-latino/latina sentiment coupled with the almost impossibility of multiculturalism of rural and suburban America, doesn't make sense that the statistics should show exactly what you have stated? What isn't shown in those stats is cultural empathy. The landscape that defines Americanism is changing rapidly, yet that change is often rejected by conservatism and the general power structure in hopes of maintaining the status quo. A better stat to prove your point would have been on reflecting conservative beliefs that also support historically marginalized beliefs also. Anything less than that is simply the same gift with a different bow.

    Actually "child rebellion agianst the parents" is quite common and is often associated with just growing up. I would suggest reading more on why this happens as opposed to living in denial of the fact that it does happen.

    http://ezinearticles.com/?Top-5-Reasons-Kids-Rebel-From-Their-Parents&id=1323919

    As noted sometimes it's healthy for the child and sometimes it's not. Obviously rebelling against racial prejudice held by parents is healthy while other forms of rebellion are not.

    Let's note that this was not info gathered during a study that was in any way, shape or form statistically relevant.

    This was a poll conducted by a right wing op ed author.

    That is because statistically Latinos are fiscal conervatives and social liberals and the "social-conservatives" of today are actually neither. Social-conseravtives oppose funding the authorized expenditures of Congress making them fiscally irresponsible (they are anti-tax and not fiscal conservatives that believe in "paying the bills"), and oppose civil rights for all people. That's why 75% of the Latino vote goes to the Democrats that are more inclined to support taxation that will fund authorized government expeditures as well as the Democrat's general support for civil rights.

    The reason Republicans are anti-black and anti-Hispanic are because blacks and Hipanics won't vote for Republicans because Republicans are anti-black and anti-Hispanic. The Republicans have created a problem and then make it worse which disenfranchises the minority voters. Perhaps someday they will reverse this problem but that seems unlikely as they continue to entrench themselves with political agendas that are anti-minority such as their push for "voting laws" that are just the latest version of Jim Crow voting laws to disenfranchise minority voters and their opposition to reforming the immigrantion laws that statistically target Hispanic immigrants.

    Good to know I am within the 8%, even though I would say 11% in not exactly a large difference, maybe some people do not go by political leanings when it comes to personal relationships and that is a good thing.

    Oh leftwingers are not all that bad even though last year most of them revealed that they have a deep hatred of White Hispanics . . . which they labelled any Hispanic at all regardless of skin tone or bloodline.

    I agree, they pale in comparison to some of the hate spewed by people who talk bad about "leftwingers". :wink:

    I'm glad you are finally able to see that.

    And we all pale in comparison to your constant vitriol against conservatives on this forum. Hopefully you have a template so you dont have to type the same response from scratch in every thread you visit.

    Actually you don't, you see, if there were no vitriol coming from conservatives towards people who have no control on how they were born or color they are born as, then there would be no "constant vitriol" from me.

    And yet despite that mythical hatred from "left wingers", 71% of "Hispanics" voted for Obama. You could add 73% of Asians as well.

    Ouch, that must hurt. Maybe the problem is with your worthless ideology.

    Nope it just means that Hispanics and Asians will be harder for Democrats to fool the next time around. They DO learn after the Dem Party finishes shafting them.

    fool, eh?

    So "Hispanics" and Asians are going to embrace conservatism in 2016, eh?

    Would you care to make a wager on that?

    A political election is a wager. As a citizen you automatically have a great deal riding on it. As for myself I am sure that the upcoming 2014 midterms will result in something way beyond a mere political shellacking for the Democratic Party leadership.

    As for 2016, even if the Left's current favorite -- barring the rise of another Democratic Party political rock star super featherweight at the last minute with no meaningful national level experience -- of Hillary Clinton runs, the chances are very good that citizens will be tired enough of Democratic Party misrule by then that we will wind up with a GOPer as president anyway. But as to that . . . we shall have to wait and see.

    But considering how many Hispanics and Asians Obama has screwed over with Obamacare . . . it's not looking good for the Dem Party leadership with that demographic either. The problem you see is that for once Obama and the Dem Party leadership forgot to stipulate that when those five million citizens got their Health Insurance cancelled that ONLY White Republicans and their families were to be broadsided. The idiots actually hit the Asians and Hispanics as well. Oh my!
