That was over forty years ago. As you point out yourself, it is history. Does it ever occur to you that things that have changed once might have changed again? I was born in 1965. I became a consciously conservative about ten years ago. I don´t give a damn about race. I´m not the one with a problem.

Most people who are obsessed with race today are liberals and Democrats. They use it to feel good about themselves and they use it to divide the American people against each other for political gain. It is obvious and therefore has to be pointed out constantly.

If modern liberalism is so good for blacks, why did Michelle Obama constantly moan (uncontradicted) about what a hopeless rathole Chicago is? It having been run by her Party for decades?

But I suppose I did imply it with the phrase “rather generously”. And that was loose of me. I cannot find any concrete proof for that, although I feel like I am may be onto something when I think of the the uneven racial applications of the death penalty, the Rockefeller drugs laws, the so called 100-to-1 drug ratio (used to sentence crack users more harshly than coke users), and the fact that I have never visited a ghetto that was not physically run-down and obviously suffering from budget neglect (and we all know that those who live in ghettos never vote for Republicans). So, hopefully you recognize genuine scrupulousness when you see it. I doubt you do, but again, I speculate.

And as for this business about Lincoln, I wish I could say I was shocked to see a man who by all appearances seems to be about the age of my father messing around with such transparently specious reasoning, but alas I have known many of your kind, and have to come to expect it along with the spit showers and jabbering tirades. By your logic–since the United States (and not just the Democrats) was the country of slavery–we ought to brand it as incorrigibly evil, too, right? Wrong. Maybe we should limit our examples to the era when women are to allowed to wear pants.

You would do well to go to slower and take a few deep breaths as you write. Also read these posts more carefully before you respond. You are misquoting all over the place.

It is the Democrats and liberals who have sold out the very people they claim to be defending and protecting. Anywhere a Democratic or liberal government runs a city or state, crime, unemployment, misery are through the roof. They believe the poison being fed them continually that they are victims and all their failings are a result of whites, big business, Jews, etc. ad nauseum.

Where is the residual racism? Name ONE instance in detail please of this alleged “residual racism” that demonstrates that Republicans/Conservatives are practicing institutional racism as a core tenet of their beliefs.

It is the Democrats and the Liberal left that has enslaved black Americans for 50 years and used them as political human shields. The Great Society and War on Poverty destroyed 3 generations of the black family. Conservatives see Americans as Americans. Liberals/Dems see them as hyphenate-Americans.

Democratically controlled states and cities have failed minorities miserably with corrupt policies on every level and have alienated them to accept assimilation into the melting pot. They need them as victims to remain in power. It is, in fact, slavery.

You seem like a smart guy, Ron. Too bad you’re not smart enough to see through the same old tired lefty bromides.
