No chab.

The reason I posted this is because your Rcons are holding this up as an excuse to his behavior, and then yammering on and on about how black people are the real racists.

But hey, David Duke don't real if you want to go for partisan shit.

Amazing, isn't it? It's okay for the Dems to revere an outright racist, but if a Scalise gives a speech to some racists cranks, the whole GOP gets tarnished.

If this had happened with anyone you hated, you would swarm over them instead of trying to justify their actions. If Al Sharpton had done something even close, the Rcons would villify him even more than they already do.

And then your members continue to claim the KKK is dead and gone (lol).

Agreed. At least the Klan has been relegated to backwater communities and trailer parks. La Raza is accepted as somehow 'legitimate". Even though their name literally means "The Race". So while La Raza and the KKK are probably on par with their racist rhetoric --- La Raza has political influence whereas the Klan does not.

It is fiction to suggest that the Republican party became the racist party after 1960's. Democrats remained in power in the South for decades and decades after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Democrats controlled a majority of governorships, Senate seats, state legislative bodies, etc., well into the 21st century. If racist Southerners really switched to the Republican party in the 60's to express their displeasure civil rights, then why did they wait 30 years before making that preference felt in congressional elections? Why did Mississippi elect only one Republican governor in the entire 20th century, and then not until 1992? Why didn’t Alabama have a Republican governor until 1987?

Byrd was also reformed before he died, whereas Duke continues to be the biggest source of anti semitism and racism the South has yet to offer (aside from Strom Thurmond, I personally think, but probably a bit of bias considering I live in SC).

Then even better bullshit:

The NAACP does in fact exist.

Yeah, the one organization fighting for minorities is racist! Yeah, fuck minorities amirite?

The only consolation of this thread is that some sanity is staying at top.

These attempts at justifying his behavior by rolling out Bryd, Sharpton, etc do not help.

I keep noticing it more and more. The Rcons either deny racism, or try to justify it. Never once do they condemn it as a massive problem that needs fixing, it simply doesn't exist to them, or if it actually crops up it isn't something that is even close to being their (or your) problem.
