I don't think black people feel that way, but they do believe that a current of racism runs through the party platform, and vote the opposite way. If the GOP rid itself of white supremacy, it would gain black votes.

I would prefer that black people be free to speak their beliefs without being labeled Uncle Toms.

You would prefer that black people not be critical of other blacks who align themselves with anti-black forces? It doesn't work that way.

But if you're black and you stray off the Democrat plantation, it's not because you can think for yourself but because you're an alt-right dupe or you're mentally ill. Just ask Kanye.

To be clear, I do not believe that all Republicans are racist, but the solutions for dealing with racial inquality and injustice are not popular among us conservatives, so they choose to pretend that the injustice doesn’t exist. This may not be full-blown, hate-in-the-heart racism, but it perpetuates racial inequality.

Apparently, you don't even know the meaning of the word racist. It's when one race thinks they are superior to another. Liberals use that word to label any conservatives or their ideals. It's getting old.

Perhaps the solutions that liberals propose are in themselves racist or are discriminating against others then. Some of you act like we are still in the 50's and 60's.

Who made you the judge of what is or isn't racist?

White supremacy is not the norm for the GOP or mainstream conservatives. There are just as many brown/black supremists among the Democrats.

Liberals used the term extensively about anyone who opposed Obama's policies, ideology, personality, etc. Anything you did not like about Obama you were labeled a racist.

That's the Plantation a Black better not stray away.

That particular cry of Racism started around 2007 and continues today. Hillary thought she could build on that theme with the sexes.
