Actually the majority didn't vote for anyone they needed a run off. And Again there is Tim Scott in Georgia.
NO!!! IT"S NOT!!! It is very simple. Being a racist doesn't require malice or majority or minority status. All it takes to be a racist is to attribute to race, or racism, that which is not accurately attributable to race or racism. That's it. That's all it takes to be racist. To be racist, all one need do is to attribute to race, or racism, that which is not accurately attributable to race or racism.
Actually I'm gonna have to agree and yet disagree, racism isn't as simple as just "I don't like Arab people" for example, it's thinking they're not only inferior but that every stereotype is true, they can't do anything for you, make backhanded compliments about it, and in addition, that it's totally okay to say things negatively in public and not expect consequences.
One can be racist one moment, on one topic, and not the next. Racism can be as slight as an honest error of attribution. All it takes to be racist is to attribute to race or racism that which is not accurately attributable to race or racism. That's it.
And again, I'm gonna have to disagree, it's not as simple and it's not always as open and explicit as that. Sometimes its subtle.
I didn't say that Why are you putting words in my mouth or better yet fabricating things I haven't said?
There's also Will Hurd in TX. Mia Love barely lost in 2018 because she didn't back Trump. Allen West lost in 2014 to vote count fraud. The target any black running and will spend big bux to defeat them.
White Republicans get elected ... if Republicans came out and voted for black Republicans like they do white Republicans, then there would be at least ONE Republican Senator. Truth is that Republicans just don't vote for non-white candidates in any real numbers. It's just the way it is. Stop with the excuses.
And Republican voters just don't support conservative black candidates. It's statistically impossible not to have at least one Republican black Congress member unless Republicans simply choose not to support black candidates. Republicans have very few Latino or Women as well. They just don't support non-white male candidates in most districts.
OR....hear me out...or maybe the LEFT has created an environment that scares Blacks and other ethnic and cultural minorities into, how would the left say..."Be a sell out" ? We have seen how the left treats Blacks who are Republican, it let me tell you friends, it's not pretty.
12% of blacks voted for Trump, compared to 5% for the Republican candidate during Obama's reign. That's a 7% increase of black voters. And should I bring up the Hispanic statistics too for that matter? Want to know how to deal with racism? You don't go screaming racist/racism at everything and everyone. You will only end up looking like a racist yourself. Want to know how to deal with racism? To quote Martin Luther King Jr: "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Want to know how to deal with racism? Stop seeing race and instead who someone are. Want to know how to deal with racism? Stop projecting it at everyone and everything you don't agree with. The US is so racist you have 46 African Americans in Congress. https://www.infoplease.com/us/government/legislative-branch/african-americans-in-the-114th-congress
The RP has been, for the most part, indifferent to the suffering inflicted on black-Americans by the DP since reconstruction. Trump is the first RP president since Eisenhower to actively and effectively intervene in favor of racial and ethnic minorities in America. Support for Trump will continue to grow within the minority community, but I doubt that it will expand from Trump to many other elected Republicans - especially after he leaves office in 2025.
Condi Rice was as well respected as white Republican. Colin Powell was as well respected as any white Republican. You're just making excuses for the poor support that Republican voters give black candidates. Micheal Steele was director of the RNC and Republicans treated him like crap.
The black candidates got there on their own. Just because someone is black doesn't mean they deserve support. It will fully depend on them as people and their policies. I am not fond of using the concept known as "soft bigotry of lower expectations". Makes it sound racist to think that we should be more lenient on blacks simply because of their skin colour. Now THAT is racist. May as well say "You're black, so I think you're less intelligent and/or less capable than whites". The US is so racist they elected Obama into office TWICE in a row.
And all 46 of them are Democrats. Why? Because the Republican Party does not support it's black candidates and has not created a pipeline from local politics to the national seats. Republican voters don't support black candidates.
The US elected Obama twice DESPITE the opposition of Republicans, so please, don't pat yourself on the back for that one ...
Republicans don't vote on race. They vote on policies. They are not single-tracked individuals who see race where ever they go. The large majority of people just don't give a crap about race in general. However, the Left-wing seem obsessed with it for some reason.
Assuming these are racism implications, many Republicans apposed Obama for his policies and/or laws, not race. You do live in the real world right?
A lot of Trump voters also voted for Obama. Twice. So, ye, don't pat yourself on the back for that one?
If that were really the case, then the law of averages would mean at least a few of the elected Republican Congress members would be black ... nope, not one.
a) Personal choice on whether or not someone want to run for Congress(Congress have less favourability than the media, so it's going to make a lot of people avoid wanting to run in the first place) b) Chances of being elected based on policy c) Chances of being elected into office based on location d) Potential voters e) Charisma, personality and whether or not he/she is a good speaker f) Timing g) The policies themselves +++ There are a plethora of factors you seem to be ignoring.
First I have heard that republican voters vote on the color of one's skin. But some claim it without proof.
May want to re-title your post to "the worlds dumbest post" You can shout racist but understand it is those that screech "racist" the loudest that are laughed at the loudest.
