Why do some high ranking Republicans still believe in slavery??? Why are they mostly from the south??

Question

I have never met Republican that is isn't at least at little bit racist at heart... What about you???

Answer 1

Give this up, its not true, And people want to know why I block

Answer 2

And yet the only Klan's man in office is a Democrat senator,,, Robert Byrd. The very person who holds the record for filibuster. What you may ask was he filibustering,,, Well Civil Rights of course!

Answer 3

You have proof of that?

I suggest you open your circle of Republicans.

It wasn't Republicans who called Rice a house slave.

It was the Republicans who keep putting minorites in positions of power while the Democrats talk about it.

The reason why the South shift to the GOP because they didn't like the DNC telling them that abortion is OK, that it is OK to smear people of faith, etc.
It was the DNC who shifted so far left that Lieberman is now a conservative to them.

Answer 4

No Republican supports slavery! The Republican party was founded to stop the spread of slavery.

Illegal immigrants are our modern day slaves.

Answer 5

Funny, Republicans don't care about skin color, we tend to focus on the person. Democrats and Liberals though, have a tendancy to focus on such things to keep people seperate because of skin color.

Now then, who's a "little racist at heart?"

Answer 6

Wow, you opened yourself up to be trashed here...

Do a little bit of research before posting somthing like this.

Slavery was abolished by the Republicans first of all. Second of all the Democrats have a senator in the KKK

Answer 7

Interesting because most of the racists I know are democrats. Most of the racists policies are promoted by democrats as well- You know, all those policies that start from the belief that minorities couldnt possibly make it on their own and the fact that any minority who does achieve on their own and has the nerve to tell their communities that they too can achieve on their own are called uncle toms and sellouts and so forth. Seems pretty racist to me.
I believe we are all of one race= the human race.

Answer 8

Define 'racism'. Now me, I define racism as believing that a person of a race other than my own is unequal to me. In other words, not as smart, not as capable, weaker, that sort of thing. Now, if you ask me, this describes the attitude of liberals far more than it does conservatives. You see, as a conservative, we believe that those of other races are every bit as intelligent, strong, capable and responsible as we are. We don't believe that they need us to help them, to act as their parent or as their 'big white brother'.

So, tell me, which attitude do you believe if more racist? The attitude that sees someone as an equal or the one that does not?

Seems pretty clear to me. So, in answer to your question. No. And, no disrespect, but it displays a significant degree of ignorance on your part to believe so.

Answer 9

I dont know , no one republican has blatenaly said he hate black . So I dont know , maybe Dems are racist . There the ones always giving stuff away to the Blacks and Mexicans . Like they pity them , or despise them .

Answer 10

Whatever. If it wasn't for Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves, they would still be slaves so that is a moot point. The same could be said about Democrats being racist.

PS. Abe was a Republican.

Answer 11

Sorry; I don't believe you have a credible source that states ANY high ranking Republican believes in slavery. I think your opinion is not valid here.
