Racism of Democrats & Republicans From An Independent View

Being an independent, some times both parties can really make me laugh some times. Something I have noticed the past 10-15 years is the evolution of ideas that are quite simply sad and distorted.  It's similar to what the bible says - Stop pointing out the spec in your brothers eye and remove the plank from your own.

According to many studies and references including wikipedia, minorities often opt for the democratic party. But, historically - the republican party has done much more for major minorities improvement in their "day to day life".

Although republicans aren't big on providing a free ride to citizens of any ethnicity, They were founded by anti-slavery activists. In contrast, the democratic party was pro-slavery. Good ol' Abraham Lincoln was the reason that slavery was abolished and he lead the way in fighting the democrats succeeding from the union, and he won so that all blacks could be free.  President Lincoln was one of the first republicans to really reach out to minorities. He first stopped the growth of slavery, and then cut it off by the head. After saying no more slavery would be allowed, Lincoln said in order to save the Union he would accept slavery or denounce it to save the Union. However, his initial belief was to abolish it, and he was fearful when the democratic party started to succeed from the union to keep their slaves, choosing their own prosperity over the rights of others.

The notion that republicans are racist evolved from large numbers of allegations over time. For example, just recently there have been numerous allegations of the entire republican party being racist for making border access from Mexico cease and desist.  However, The Civil Rights Act of 1964 received 20% more votes from republicans.  I want everyone to be an independent, but democrats raged about racist republicans should really look at who has protected their rights.

Let's look at the first 3 black people placed in to major government positions. Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, and Condi Rice. Weird.

Who is Rush Limbaughs most popular fill in? You got it, a black guy named Walter Williams. A recent study of voting patterns from Yale found out that historically    25% of republicans are more likely to vote for a black GOP hopeful if they are black, in house races white democrats are 38% less likely to vote democratic if their candidate is black. It would have been better if they decided to poll republicans and democrats evenly for the 2 different polls, but it's still interesting data.

There was another study from a professor at Stanford on how much government largess democrats and republicans believe people deserved to be given a Katrina, and surprisingly democrats behaved in a racist fashion, yet the republican party was considered racist for not responding within 10 hours or so to organize their troops and drive in through the feet of flood water.

Often times, it seems to me that parties are very good at distorting views on issues and I am actually shocked that the democratic party ever had the gull to make these allegations.

My opinion is this, there are a going to be racists in both parties, however there are more in the democratic party - but they will never tell you that.

I am glad that the democratic party now has a black leader, but I really believe that they simply could not ignore Obama because he is probably the most eloquent speaker that American government has ever seen. He is a smart man in my opinion, I believe he is spending amazing amounts of money, and I don't know if that is the right choice. Time will tell, I would like to be educated more about the reasons that they required so much money - but that information may be hidden to protect our economy from collapse. The fact that the government has been buying up banks since the Bush administration leads me to believe we are on the edge of collapse, and I also believe that this money being pumped in is simply an economy collapse deterrent in hope that american innovation will off-set inflation and eventually get us out of this.

When I think about the NAACP and their democratic backing, I have to think that their abbreviations stand for Never Aware About Colored Past
