Why do racists hide under the label of conservative?

Question

I just looked on a website American Renaissance, and it was labeled as a conservative website but all the stories and research were how whites were supreme to blacks and hispanics, basically blaming all that is wrong in the world on minorities. And it always seems that the conservative initiative always puts rich, white americans above all other issues of concern in our government. Does conservative mean racist in disguise?

Thank you for all the insults, just wanted to see what you think, but obviously it brought out the worst in people. And yes I do think it's interesting on how everyone defines racist.

Answer 1

Welcome , is that the first time you noticed this?

Answer 2

Careful. This is its own kind of bigotry.

I think it's because conservatives are less likely to help social change come about. Once a new social norm is established, they will defend that from change. It's just a personality type that is apparently shared by 1/2 of the globe.

Once upon a time when civil rights were an issue, several conservatives probably shied away from the idea of change. That's probably where you concept of racism and conservativism come to be.

Answer 3

Of course not. Al Sharpton and Cynthia McKinney are racists. Robert Byrd was in the Ku Klux Klan. All of them are considered liberals. It was liberals who blocked the first ever Hispanic nominee to the US Supreme Court. Most anti-Jewish hate these days comes from the extreme left.

Racism can be found at any point on the political spectrum.

Answer 4

I can take a label off of a mayonase jar and reapply it to a jar of peanut butter. Will that make the peanut butter mayonase? People LOVE to label themselves! Hate mongers want to fit in like everyone else, so they try to find a label that will best suit their needs. Another problem is that people LOVE to label others! there are millions of conservatives out there-not all are white, rich americans-one could argue that your making a racist statement against conservatives....but that would be just as ignorant

Answer 5

There are a great many so-called "liberals" who are also just as racist. You can start with all of their condescending attitudes towards brown-colored people which, for all intents and purposes, tell them that they can't succeed on their own brilliance and initiative and need the hand of the state to force their way into prosperity.

Yep. Racist conservatives--of course. But also there are many many racist liberals, too.

Answer 6

Isn't there a conservative supreme court Justice who happens to be hispanic? Last time I checked, Condeleeza Rice was not a White Supremecist and happened to be be African American. Isn't California, a state full of asians and Hispanics governed by a conservative who also happens to be foreign?

Answer 7

No, those like Jessie Jackson and others that push hatred on whiltes are far from conservative, they hide under being liberal.

So racists are just that, but of course don't want to admit it and hide where they believe they can.

Answer 8

The real question is why do liberals label conservatives, "racists". If you asked me that I would say. "projection"

Answer 9

You are just as racist thinking that only whites can be racist..

Answer 10

You're always going to find the extremes of both parties.

Answer 11

no it doesn't, those are extremists. I am conservative and feel that we all are equal as humans until we prove otherwise.
