Anyway, chances are, if you're an African American Democrat, you would've voted for her either way to spite a Republican or Independent challenger.

I'm just wondering if there will be a wave of protests against the Democratic Party, with out pouring support from black celebrities, black activists and the black psuedo-intellectual race scholars (i.e. Michael Eric Dyson, or Cornel West) to hold mainstream panel discussions on the unaddressed hidden racism within the party.

Thus far not a peep, but I'll give it a few days and retract my statements if Oprah or Al Sharpton hold a press conference on the matter.

The sitting mayor is a Democrat, and is running for election against this women, your scenario makes no sense. And that whole BS post racial comment doesnt either.

Correction, his last registration was in 1998, roughly 16 years ago. We don't know if he was registered anywhere else under a different party, nor do we known his voting history. Anyway, 6 years prior to that, he donated to 2* Democratic candidates in addition to his current donations to liberal Democratic institutions one of which he was set to receive his *2nd* lifetime achievement award...

In previous threads, when it was alleged that Sterling was a Democrat because of his donations according to Conservatives, however Democrats ranted and raved that it was 20 years ago and it "meant nothing." SO why isn't that being said now?

Either way, this isn't about Sterling.

Donald Sterling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What does it matter if he supported Democrats? your argument is that he was one himself and he hasnt been atleast since 1998. According to your own link, he hasnt donated to a single democrat in 20 years.

Just own up and admit you were wrong, dont move the goal post.

This woman's comment isn't nearly as insidious as the covert racism of the people who run the Democrat Party. Inherent in the Democrat Party's ideology and governing philosophy is an assumption that minorities are incapable of success without the help of the government (and of course the Democrats themselves). That's why Democrats exist to perpetuate victimology and support things like affirmative action and oppose things like school choice. Democrats need a victim class to keep voting them back into office. Once anyone, including a minority, succeeds, then the Democrat party can't hold on to them because Democrats view successful people as targets and gigantic wallets to fund their social programs, which are designed to keep people depenedent on the government and (not coincidentally) voting for Democrats.

The statements of a Democrat mayoral candidate in New Jersey are vile, but far less damaging and racist than the Democrat Party's stated platform.

There is no correction. He is a registered Republicans. Saying "last registration" doesnt change that.

I havent heard of any donatons to "Liberal" organizations, can you site them ?

IN previous threads, People where discussing Sterling as a bad person(the controversy overall) and republicans in this forum decided to turn it political. This thread is specifically about politics and that is why it matters as the OP was trying to claim that it was Democrats being caught saying racial things when it is clearly people from both sides.

With the racist comments flying, I see no need to point to either party. People are the racists, not of necessity their political party. An actual racist should be condemned, while declaring someone you merely disagree with a racist reflects more on the person doing the declaring, IMO.

what happens when a republican says something that is not even racist, but might not be in the best parlance, what happens? the media blows up the statement, calling it racist and then points out the "code words" and "code phrases" that prove this is a racist comment. and then they point their fingers, along with the democrat leadership, and many of their followers, at all the republicans, and scream racism. but when a democrat or one of their supporters comes out and says blatantly racist things, they are either ignored by their party, explained away by their party(thats just joe being joe), or when they are hammered by their party, they dont stay in the dog house very long, and virtually no one points their fingers at the democrats and tries to paint the entire party as racist, despite the fact that the democrats are caught far more often saying blatantly racist things.

You have never been to an NAACP Meeting then.

Its grounded with in the church, and indeed leans more to conservative ideology than Liberal. It simply has more Democratic members than Republicans.
