Not really. The usual way it plays is that a prominent right-winger (Drudge, Breitbart, Limbaugh, Hannity, Gingrich, Santorum, Trump*, and Ron Paul all being obvious examples from the past year or two - and actually, let's throw in Herman Cain for his "brainwashed plantation slave" nonsense), and then acts surprised when black people call them out on it. We black folks aren't stupid, we work very hard, and don't appreciate being told that we actually love food stamps. That's all. When Republicans abandon racism, they'll find that many black people will listen to their viewpoints.

*Trump is, admittedly, too stupid to be an actual right-winger, but he did become a republican front-runner by saying a bunch of obviously racist nonsense about Obama.

According to you, democrats are losing power daily. If they win the election, they couldn't have lost too mcuh power.

Change the facts of how slavery is presented in history books. Racist.

Ron paul: racist newsletters. Racist in our opinion.

Democrats: lets hurl racist accusations at GOP.
Again, you take their words out of context and spin it your way. Either way, most Republicans aren't racists. I would be willing to bet that there are just as many racists in the Democrat party or more. You just don't see many Republicans flinging the race card out and pointing that out cause many of them are minorities. The Republicans would then be called racists once again for doing that also.

They lose power over people with common sense, they'll always maintain power over their brain dead, die hard followers who lovingly look towards their masters with hands open and eyes closed to any real truth.

I dislike all racists whether they be on the left or the right but the left likes to claim there are no racists among them and make permanent racial victims out of their minority constituents and look to the white conservative right as their evil slavemasters no matter how much things have changed.

I can take those words anyway I choose. Its up to the republicans to put them in the right context. Here is a better idea, how about you not make those comments at all.

Here is the problem, your party is aware of this, but do nothing to change it.

Its changed because of so called Lefty's. These same folks who call themselves the GOP today would have kept slavery, jim crow, and women in their place laws alive until this very day.

Why, some may ask would one do that? Simple. The right/tea party of this Country wants the racism and the
Bill O'Reilly: The White, Christian, male power structure is in jeopardy... | Crooks and Liars

to continue and return actually to the days when nothing else mattered that was not about that.
Not sure which post #8 you're talking about. I clicked your link and it said '0 comments.' If you're talking about post #8 in this thread, I find it to be stupid and juvenile, and not something I would ever say. Is the reference to 'ghetto' racist? I don't know. Maybe the person who wrote it will expand. Is a cartoon of Sarah Palin in a house trailer racist? Who knows? I consider racism a serious matter and I want serious evidence before a call someone that. BTW Obama's house is in Hyde Park, where I once lived. It's not the ghetto.
