Lets also be clear. I define liberal by ideology, not party affiliation.

As many right of center people have stated, most black people are actually conservative.

Civil rights, and public schools are the biggest cross over issues.

It doesn't matter what people say they are when the majority vote for Democrats every time they vote.

I am a White guy who is registered as a Republican and I have found that some of the racist people in this country are Black and White people on either political side.

(D) is a party. Not an ideology. hence my point.

One can be ideologically liberal and vote republican, or conservative and vote for Democrats.

For example, there are plenty of black Democrats here in Alabama(elected officials) who still dont support gay rights. I have said before, I did not vote for my 1st dst congressional candidate because of his homophobia. These people arent liberal. They jsut have a D beside their name.

You yourself said you vote fro Democrats, but are a moderate, not liberal. How do you not understand ideology while making a clear ideological distinction?

I think most people find it difficult to be 100% aligned with all the talking points of their party of choice. That's not unique and doesn't change the fact that they will stick with the party they feel best represents them.

But we're not talking about ideology, are we? We're talking about people who define themselves as liberals.

And I'm not saying ALL liberals behave badly, but there are extremists on both sides that do. Having said that, there have been more incidents where nutty libs have attacked people who disagree with them than the other way around.

As a Dem, I'd like that to stop. I don't want anything to do with that lunacy or the people doing it.

I have no connection with Republicans (although I'm conservative in some ways) so I don't really care what they do.

apples and orange comparison. The phrase cited by OP is just out-and-out racist language. 'Get off the plantation' is an appeal to ideology. It's nothing that wasn't expressed many eons ago by Malcolm X.

Yea, we are confusing each other here so let me try and clarify since the way you worded your post is just making this worse.

1. OP says GOP(party), but some posters are going by ideology rather than party, so thats what i discussed. Because its far more accurate to discuss ideology than party ID.

2. liberal is absolutely an ideology, and most black people dont identify as such.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...views-liberal/

3. I understand there is a difference between what someone identifies as, vs what they actually are. Black people fall into the category of Being Democrats by identification, but not actually being liberal by ideology.

And I'm not saying ALL liberals behave badly, but there are extremists on both sides that do. Having said that, there have been more incidents where nutty libs have attacked people who disagree with them than the other way around.

Again I disagree. I think we place people into political boxes until they do something we really like or dont like. Black people being the best example. When conservatives want to court black people. they always say "you are conservative and agree with us more than Democrats" but anytime a black person commits a crime, they blame it on that persons' "liberalism", which as I already explained, that person probably isnt liberal at all

the conservative black guys who beat up a gay person dont get labeled as Conservative, even though thats exactly what they are. We just dont link those type of things to political violence or separate skin color and reprieved ideology., we just label those people crazy and move on.

I mean a guy in Texas just killed 22 people........

To be clear, im not even arguing that we should label bad people by ideology. Im more or less saying dont exclude people to make your numbers look better or treat all cases the same.

Same goes for COnservatives overall who use passive aggressive language to attack black people who vote for Democrats.

The issue of the topic aside, I have to say that I had an honest and forceful chuckle when I read "stop eating the 'coon flakes'" in the thread title.

You were not eating any just then, I hope.

If you believe it is wrong to call someone an uncle tom, then certainly, its wrong to say someone is on a plantation, or to define someone as stupid to disagree with you ?

If you dont , then fine, but im guessing your argument is more along the lines of "someone is right, someone else is wrong" and in that case, it shows the whining is just a lies, or bad logic.

For the sake of argument, let's say that's racist. You know damn well that the examples are overwhelmingly lopsided with black leftists engaging in racist behavior against black conservatives. Again, its not even close. Of course, black leftist racism isn't just directed at black conservatives, but is used against whites, too (a la Symone Sanders and others).
