    Maybe not an African-American (for a generation or more), but a Latino....even one who is "tough on immigraiton"?

    The racism won't just disappear for partisan reasons. But with no way to support someone who they revile and hate....but no way to attack them without alienating themselves from their "old home" the GOP....what can they do?

    Why can't you quit talking about race?

    The mindset you so often exhibit is the PROBLEM, not the solution.

    Jeez, wake up man. Skin color does NOT MATTER !

    The minority of whites who are still racist can go pluck themselves.

    Depends on the candidate.

    If it's a Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, who are two white guys who happen to speak Spanish, nothing will change and the Wallace voters would support them.

    Yes we know, white racists are a fringe minority, and the REAL and majority racists are now black and "Hispanic" people, amirite?

    So when someone creates a thread about "black crime", or a thread about how "blacks have lower IQ's than white people", I suspect you'll say "Skin color does NOT MATTER!" then too, right?

    I sincerely doubt that I'll be around long enough to find out.

    Obviously I was being sarcastic. A significant portion of the conservatives here think or pretend to think white racists basically don't exist anymore. However, they are thoroughly convinced that there are thousands, if not millions, of black and "Hispanic" racists out there terrorizing and oppressing white people on a daily basis.

    The same thing that many Evangelicals did and they nominated Mitt Romney, who is a Mormon - Stay home on election day.

    I assume they will do the same thing that the Democrat racists did, suck it up and vote their party.

    I was on another board and the resident racist/antisemite was a Democrat. He voted for Obama because he figured that Obama was just a puppet anyway and there was no way he was going to vote for a Republican. So I think you're wrong, partisanship overrides racism.

    Todays racists, imo, are the ones like the OP who thrive on keeping the race issue front and center for political gain. There is no other point to this thread. Race baiting for the sake of keeping old wounds open is the lowest form of scum, imo.

    Racism is a basic part of humanity. It's related to tribalism.

    It's fine to raise awareness of it and combat it when it leads to ugly policies, but as always happens with these things the crusaders against racism are now taking things a bit far themselves.

    I don't agree that its a natural state.

    Oh Yeah?

    So these constant threads about black crime, black IQ's, "white culture", are threads created for political gain?

    I'm sure Mike, like every other conservative, knows plenty of "Democrat racists".

    But (coincidentally I'm sure), he knows no Conservative/Republican racists.

    Probably. A vocal minority is still a minority. I don't find those threads particularly useful, politically. This one, on the other hand, is just an attempt to paint all white conservatives as racists, which I find offensive. We have racists, but they are the few, not the many. You do too.

    Is it? Or is that the way you choose to interpret it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hell, not only do they accept them, they pander to them.

    They've been pandering to their George Wallace constituency for a VERY long time now.

    Then you will remain at odds with reality. Humans are naturally tribal, discriminatory and bigoted, always establishing in-groups and out-groups and fighting along those lines, etc.

    All we can do is raise awareness of this problem.

    well they do seem unable to attract many voters of color in the republican party.

    perhaps you look into your own heart and see that in mankind.

    My heart does not reflect the things you claim are "real" .

    Will liberal race-baiters like you still squawk about racism?

    I think the better question is, why did the Republicans, who used to actually win the black vote, lose the majority of their support?

    It couldn't be because the party embraced social conservatism, and chose "states rights" over "civil rights", now is it? Nah, it has to be because of "Obama phones".

    I'm thinking you are actually serious. No I can't.
