well... I mean many people's "traditions" include things like slavery, especially in the south...
and conservatives are all about holding up traditions and remembering the past...
the thing is... the past isn't that kind to other races in the U.S...
but they don't like to talk about that...
do modern day Republicans understand that the old southern Dems were really conservative?

It seems to me that the Conservatives are the opposite of racist...Liberals believe in rewarding all sorts of special interest groups, while conservatives believe in a level playing field where all can prosper without government interference or hand-out.
It is also worth noting that the Republican Party freed the slaves (when Lincoln was the Republican President), while during the Civil Rights movement of the 50's and 60's, it was the Democrats who opposed MLK and his friends. And I should also point out that while Clinton trotted out the occasional token black, the "racist neo-con" Bush actually appointed folks like Condi Rice to extremely important positions.
Freedom is a Conservative value. Make no mistake in this matter.
It is also notable that the Nazi is an abbreviation of National Socialism (a left-wing position). David Duke is more left than right. And the KKK were a well known part of the Democratic Machine.
And guess what: the left-dominated press likes to call racists "extreme right-wing." This is not based on the political leanings of racist groups, but rather on certain reporters laziness, or desire to paint the right as racist.

Sometimes you can't choose who supports you. When GOP candidates start taking considerable financial contributions from groups such as the KKK we'll talk again.
Plain and simple, liberals would love to see EVERYONE on welfare and the government deciding who gets what.
Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and all the other races are the racist ones. We stopped making everything about race a LONG time ago.... WHY ARE YOU? Move on man... so you were oppressed (well, YOU weren't but I'm sure you wouldn't give back the reparition check if you were to recieve one) quit whining about it and go make a life for yourself. You have all the resources that white people have (even more actually... I don't see the NAACP doin much for poor white kids).
Finally, what would YOU say to someone starting the NAAWP (National Agency for the Advancement of White People)? OHHHH no, can't have that! Who's the racist?

A true conservative has no use for the nazi or KKK types. I have been a conservative for years and the true racists are the ones who call minorities "sellouts" or "oreos" when they make it. Those are Democrats. People that think a "true" black is a person living in a Ghetto with a substance abuse problem and if a woman has 3 or 4 children born out of wedlock.

I think you need to do your homework. The KKK and the Neo Nazi party are democratic affiliated and reside in democratic supported states. Conservatism does not support Communism as every person is expected to work and take care of themselves and their families not depending on the government for support. Democrats want the poor and minorities kept poor and uneducated so that eventually their ignorance and dependence on the government will eventually destroy them. Isn't that what is now happening with the welfare system now? Democrats and Liberals keep the minorities suppressed. Take a good look at the democratic state of Louisiana and the Katrina situation. Such a poor state with a large population of blacks and most of them on welfare.
I am from a Mexican Mayan/Cherokee Native American descent. The Native Americans who relied on the government to take care of them are lost on reservations living in poverty on government assistance. Our families never relied and never accepted government assistance. We also are all college educated and are members of the republican party.

Shouldn't you get rid of KKK Byrd first before you point fingers. And what about those bigots,Sharpton and Jackson. Gov. Richardson used the term fa**ot on Imus's show. Joe Biden and Hillary made offensive remarks about Indians. All get free passes.

conservatives are a breed that do not wanna change...ie "if you aint wyte u aint ryte" and so forth.
However (social) liberal democrats are backers of the biggest "oppressive" movement of all. The Welfare system. "Here, here is some money for pumping out babies." If that does not scream of "here's 5 dollars, now know your place", then I dont know how to make it more obvious.
So both of them are evil in one way or another since neither truly foster equality, they just find different ways to "put that other person/people in their place".

You do realize the liberals are the ones who are for racist practices (affirmative action), right?

Funny, you forgot to list the black racist groups. Just thought I'd point that out. Wouldn't want you to leave anyone out.
