Surely you can see the difference between a political party that allegedly had somebody who said racist things and the Republicans who are based upon racism. The entire Republican platform is based on racism and you admitted that they crashed the economy on purpose. Don't you claim to have an IQ higher than Isaac Newton's? LOL!

"Atwater on the Southern Strategy
As a member of the Reagan administration in 1981, Atwater gave an anonymous interview to political scientist Alexander P. Lamis. Part of the interview was printed in Lamis's book The Two-Party South, then reprinted in Southern Politics in the 1990s with Atwater's name revealed. Bob Herbert reported on the interview in the October 6, 2005, edition of the New York Times. On November 13, 2012, The Nation magazine released what it claimed to be audio of the full interview.[SUP][7][/SUP] James Carter IV, grandson of former president Jimmy Carter, had asked and been granted access to these tapes by the widow of the recently deceased interviewer, Mr. Lamis. Atwater talked about the Republican Southern Strategy and Ronald Reagan's version of it:

Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr. and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now [the new Southern Strategy of Ronald Reagan] doesn't have to do that. All you have to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues he's campaigned on since 1964 and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster.

Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "N*gger, n*gger, n*gger." By 1968 you can't say "n*gger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N*gger, n*gger."[SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP]"

Is it really any surprise that vulnerable minorities don't trust a political party that hates them? As I type this, the Republican party continues its soft pogrom against blacks and is now shifting its sights on religious minorities. The Republicans are trying to exploit the hate against religions other than Christianity.

Shirley........you can see I'm not going to read through your drivel.

Shirley......I can see an entire people feed itself into the meat-grinder of the Great (Engineered) Society, the War on Poverty (to ensure poverty), etc.

Correlation does not equal causation. The fact that women can now buy homes and have careers means that we are changing from a family based society led by a male wage earner to a society that is not based upon that model. Less people of all races are getting or staying married.
