Poll: 95% of likely GOP primary voters are white

You just explicitly acknowledged the GOP actively panders to whites. They do so via the Southern Strategy: what you described by using dog whistle racism about the "welfare queens" to stoke white fears.

Democrats support a social safety net similar to that of any every other induatrialzied country. You right wing maniacs have gotten so absorbed in the fox narrative that you can see your own implicit racism.

It sucks because you don't realize you're a racist fuck doing what you can to paint blacks as lazy and democrats as manipulative.

Have you ever thought that black people don't vote for the GOP because the party actively courts racist? You do realize the majority of southern whites were democrats untilLBJ signed the CRA of 1964. They left the fucking party and are now the Solid South of the GOP.

I live in a town with people that were part of a lynching during the freedom summer and got away because an all white jury couldn't convict. My grandfather knew some of them, some man who tried to prevent people from helping him register to vote.

There's a reason those farmers support McCain. Its not entitlement spending because farmers are more dependent on federal money than almost any other profession.

Do you not acknowledge that my father being the first generation in my family who was born able to take out a proper loan inhibited our ability to accumulate generational wealth?

I'm not asking for a handout. I paid my way through school (with some scholarships.) I'm telling you, as a black mississippian, I support democrats because they don't use dog whistle racism to pander to whites. So you here you have a black person actively telling you why I won't support the GOP: because using white southern racism to garner votes is atrocious. Now tell me how it's actually cause us poor negras can't think fuh ourselves and need our liberal massas to hand us the money and truth.

Conservatism: constructing a narrative aside from reality to avoid rampant bigotry within its ranks.

If you want to argue you're not a racist, don't spend paragraph after paragraph trying to demonize black people because they struggle with systemic poverty slightly more than the national white average.

Also you're an idiot if you think there's only a rhetorical difference in how the parties approach women's rights (conservatives use the bible for science for instance) but that's a discussion for a different day.

Oh wise enlightened white one, I ask you show me a poor negro how I've been manipulated and how its just complete coincidence all the segregationists became Republicans in less than a decade.
