I understand all of politics is some bullshyt but imma be damned if im a black man supportin a party who's majority base is cacs. Especially a party dat's so flagrant wit it's race baitin and hatred. You look at da DNC and it looks like how America looks. You look at da RNC and it looks like a fukkin Klan rally. FOH.

i wish malcolm x was alive.

us calling him an uncle tom is just not as powerful as the way malcolm would have done it

Some black people support Republicans because traditionally they were actually the party that pushed policies that helped minorities.

Bullshyt. Black republicans today are certified c00nS... Even Barkley had to flee that cac association
Of course, black people supported the GOP in the old days (it was the party of Emancipation!) The most racist folks in this country were southerners. Republicans were considered liberal northerners, while the South was solidly conservative democrat.
Then things changed dramatically in the 50s and 60s.
Despite the political risks, LBJ pushed for civil rights legislation, angering southern conservatives along the way (dems and dixiecrats).
The result? Them racist southerners flocked to the desperate GOP, which was in disarray after LBJ won the 1964 election in a landslide over the segregationist Republican Barry Goldwater.
Is it a coincidence that Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and other southern states went republican for the first time EVER in the 1960s and have remained so? In 1964, Mississippi went from solidly democrat to 86% republican after just ONE election cycle! What the fukk happened? You'd think the Civil Rights Act had nothing to do with this sudden switch?

The GOP stopped being the party of Lincoln in the 60s and became a Goldwater-Thurmond-Helms-Falwell-Nixon-Duke-Limbaugh-Reagan-Bush-Palin group. Why would any self-respecting black person associate with these bigots?
Do you honestly believe that men like Rockefeller, Everett Dirksen, Ike or even Teddy Roosevelt would still feel at home in the current GOP? This is the party of Jefferson Davis now, not Lincoln.

Also, it's so funny when republicans keep referring to MLK to obliquely criticize black people. Conservatives absolutely DESPISED him when he was alive (especially William Buckley, Falwell, Reagan, Helms, Nixon and others who called him a dangerous communist)... but now that he's sanctified (and safely dead) some are even trying to claim him (didn't he vote for JFK and LBJ?)
Sorry, but that shyt doesn't fly.

"The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The "best man" at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade."
- MLK, July 16, 1964 (after segregationist Barry Goldwater won the GOP presidential nomination)

"The war has given the extreme right, the anti-labor, anti-Negro, and anti-humanistic forces a weapon of spurious patriotism to galvanize its supporters into reaching for power, right up to the White House. It hopes to use national frustration to take control and restore the America of social insecurity and power for the privileged. When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events."
- MLK, November 1967 (on Vietnam and Ronald Reagan)

Lee Atwater, the father of the GOP's Southern Strategy, explaining it shortly before his death in 1991: "You start out in 1954 by saying, '******, ******, ******.' By 1968 you can't say '******' - that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites.
"And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me - because obviously sitting around saying, 'We want to cut this,' is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than '******, ******.'

Greg Anthony can vote for whoever he wants, obviously. I have no problem with that. But it's absurd for him to express disappointment because "he thought he was going to be a centrist." He's been too much of a centrist, that's the problem imo.

I was scratching my head at that shyt. Doesn't have a degree in political science?

 

[Greenhornet]

I'm sure you're trolling, but this type of attitude is exactly why people shyt on conservatives/Republicans so much.

 

[PHamm]

I thought everybody knew Greg Anthony was a Republican? Dude was talking that he was a Republican back at UNLV

 

[Real Talk of NY]

I got no problem with Black Republicans. We dont all believe in the same principals or have the same values, so why should we all think and vote the same? I think a lot of black democrats are brainwashed. Vote with your conscience.
