Having researched racism in the 21st century, I have found that it should really be a dead (or almost dead) issue in our society, however I have discovered that the primary source keeping it alive are liberal (really socialist) politics and media. Under the guise of victimhood based policies such as Affirmitive Action, Black History Month, Race identifications on job applications, Race based scholar ship funds, liberal agenda driven Media Outlets, and Welfare Programs targeting specific groups, the socialist keeps racism alive by keeping people divided. By pointing out a person's skin color and then trying to place them into a specific box separated from people of other skin color they are essentially encouraging not diversity but an indoctrination of a label, a label based solely upon one's skin color and not their actions or individual character.
Why do liberals do this? Because they need to racism to win. They need something to "Fight Against," and by creating it they are given the power they crave. The liberal has falsely created racial issues where there never were any to begin with. You can see this in something as simple as Voter ID, every single Western Nation on the planet has Voter ID. It's just common sense. But they have turned it into a race issue for votes and falsely scared uneducated voters into believing it by lying to them. The same thing happens with Illegal Immigration, School Choice, Gun Rights, and a whole list of other issues. Liberals thrive off of pitting their fellow Americans against one another, telling groups they are victims being oppressed by another group and creates the division they need to control people. Their biggest fear would be if tomorrow they woke up and the world became color blind, nobody caring or noticing another person's skin color, the very world that Civil Rights Leaders such as MLK Jr. were fighting for.
Bottom Line: Liberals need racism to stay in power. They create it, they feed off it, they need it to control people and to use it as a way to silence those they disagree with by playing "the race card." This is in complete opposite to Conservatives who believe that we should build a color blind society, one where race doesn't even exist or matter.
It is modeled after how the lungs works. they need a bit of CO2 to trigger the cascade of events to oxegenate the blood. Dems figure that charges of racism are required to deliver their message. Racism is their messenger pideon, post office and special delivery. Set to zero tolerance, you have weaponized racism as an effective political land mine, the stage set by social justice movement.
Oh I got it alright, along with the rest of the nonesense this thread is attempting to push. The sad thing is they are either trolling or they actually believe that they somehow are convincing others (yeah right) that it is really the Libs that are the real racists and if it were not for them there simply would be no racisim at all. This thread is a perfect example of Cons not trying to convince the rest of the world that it is not them but everyone else that has a warped POV, it is instead it is them trying to convince themselves of that fantasy, how else can one explain it.
Of course they do. The modern Democrat platform is about creating this absurd, scary caricature of the GOP that is full of racists, sexists and homophobes. Do those people exist in the GOP? Yes, but they exist in the Democrat party as well (not that anyone admits that since it tarnishes the brand). The difference is that Democrats have thrived on painting their constituents as victims and the GOP as the oppressors. As much as they talk about treating everyone equally, so much of their energy is spent separating people into different groups based on their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc and treating some groups differently than others. It's the opposite of equality and it furthers these types of divides.
Look how fast Libs are to brand ANYTHING as racist. The parade float in Nebraska is a good example. There was nothing racist about the float, but it brought out legions of Liberals screaming about how racist it was. Even some Libs had the common sense to point out there was nothing actually racist about it, but so many have been conditioned to treat any criticism of Obama as racism that their Pavlovian responses show how little they actually think for themselves.
The worst offender are policies like affirmative action, which presume that minorities are incapable of competing with whites without assistance. It might have been needed at one point, but today it's a horribly racist policy that is supported by a big segment of the Democrat voting block.
Look at all of the scaremongering Democrats have thrown at the GOP over the past few years. The plan seems to be just calling the GOP names and pointing out the occasional nut job as a representation of the whole party. Opposing programs that trap people in poverty is racist. Opposing programs that treat minorities as inferior is racist. We don't think that minorities are inferior, Liberals do, or at least treat them like they are so white Liberals can feel good about helping out minorities.
Social Security and Medicare are some of the best run government programs. Tell you what, run in any congressional district with the platform of privatizing or repealing social security and doing away with medicare and let's see how many votes you garner. Even in the most conservative district you will be run out of town.
No private company could run a scam like social security, they'd be sitting behind prison bars.

So, while you seem to understand that racists come in all shades of the political spectrum, you seem to have no problem agreeing with the OP which states it is all the Libs fault. My experience is this, if someone continually makes racist comments, they are tada: A Racist. Once I identify a self proven racist on any discussion board I frequent I put them on my Ignore list since the braindead are not worth a second of my time because as we all know they do not change their inner selves and hence no amount of logic will ever change who they are. That said, in all the many years I have been posting on these sorts of sites I have put only ONE Liberal on a Ignore for continually making racist comments, as for the Cons that have proven to be rasicts and ended up on my Ignore list, well lets just say it is pushing the 100 mark and that takes into account the few I allow to remain off it because they have other attributes that allows me to tolerate their stupid side. The proof is not in my opinion of who is and who isn't a racist, the proof is in Who continues to post racist threads, posts and comments on these boards at the highest rate, anyone that reads what is posted on these boards knows all by themself which are the most likely to do so, so you can stomp your feet and scream it is not so, but the facts are the facts and they are there for anyone that wants to see them and there is no way for the Op or anyone else to get away with saying otherwise because it is now history and cannot be removed.

Really? I'll ask again, just when/where have you been hanging out with liberals in private? Or are you just making up what you imagine they say?

The alleged point of regarding liberals as "enemies of America and potential terrorists" is self-Righteous BS, nothing more. Look up and you'll see that point sailing over your head.

When claiming knowledge gained by research it's traditional to cite research methods/sources. Other than what on the surface appears too much time listening to RWNJ radio, whatta ya got?
I look forward to a DHS Secretary that regards liberals as enemies of America and potential terrorists.
You call yourself a Christian and then say things like this. How very Christ like.
