The defintion of racism is the belief that one race is inferior to another. The Democrats believe that black Americans require special help to win a job; As if black Americans can't win the job on their own. Are Democrats so superior that only they can find jobs for black people? Sure, there are people who won't hire somebody because he is black. I'd argue however, that this person is either 1.) not a smart business man, or 2.) not somebody worth working for in the first place.
In reality, there are very few racists employers who would reject a strong black candidate over a weak white candidate. If it's anything, it's bad business.

I agree with you and I think that this paternalistic, "you can't achieve anything without special help" attitude of liberal white Democrats is insulting to Black people.

No. They're not racist. They're elitist. Many in the group are really motivated by the President being from Texas and "talking funny", taking that accent as some manifestation of low intelligence. Same sort of knee-jerk reaction occurred when Lyndon Baines Johnson became President after the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. George Soros is just a well-heeled, modern Pied Piper of Hamblin and he's attracted a lot of "children" with his money. After the election of 2006, when the Democrats regained control of the House and Senate, he was overheard to say: "We bought a party!".

You are generalizing using an entire political group as a scapegoat. That wide sweeping generalization can only be wrong wrong wrong. And isn't harsh sweeping judgments the very definition of prejudice. As for promising help I have seen complaints when the politicians don't help. I've also seen complaint's when the do help. I believe you hate the party and will no matter what which is the honest purpose of some people.

I think you have it the other way around. Why should we help those that already have the rights and priveleges that aren't granted to others? There are many African Americans who don't have equal benefits that you have in terms of money, lifestyle, business, and education. Why would it matter if they're black? And because there are obvious signs that racism still exist, I mean, why don't you shut up and do something to help them instead of blaming a specific political party?

Your argument doesn't hold water. If the Democrats do believe they need to help black Americans get jobs, it doesn't imply they are racist or think they are superior. They are simply upholding and being proponents of Affirmative Action.

I don't know what this has to do with TV, but I couldn't agree with you more, though I think they'd deny it to the death. Why is it so obvious to us that affirmative action, etc. is exactly that, racism and yet they can't see it?

Why are Republicans so for pro-life and not pro-choice? Also, why do they want to keep church and state together when they're supposed to be seperate.
