After the Democrats started passing civil rights legislation the republicans appealed to racists by hurting black people with their Southern Strategy.

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.[7] 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."[8][9]

I hear what you're trying to say.
It's like trying to get me to respect Nickleback.
In this particular case though, I believe you are incorrect in your beliefs. Eminem has chops, like it or hate it. They (the chops) still exist, and they are prominent.
BTW, love the vast majority of your posts. Keep on keepin' on.
The math on this in sociology is mapped out. Jews and Asians (chinese, japanese) are the smartest races on the planet.
Whites are actually a good tick behind them.

An unreconstructed Southern conservative, he began his political career in the Democratic Party in the days when many white Southern politicians championed racial segregation and most blacks were disfranchised. He moved to the Republican party in the 1970s. Helms was the most stridently conservative politician of the post-1960s era,[4] especially in opposition to federal intervention into what he considered state affairs (integration, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act). Helms conducted a 16-day filibusterto stop the Senate from approving a federal holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.

What if you don't have an F-350 jacked up with 35" mudders?
Then you can just run over the other 9 people. Unless one has a GMC 3500 Duramax, then he wins.What if you don't have an F-350 jacked up with 35" mudders?

Yes, conservatism = racism. It doesn't matter which political party they flock to, the party that happens to have the conservatives in it is the racist one because conservatives are racist. So right now the republican party is the racist political party.

I think you're off base.
Everyone here says I'm racist. I say I'm racist.
Because of this I'm labeled a conservative.
But I'm pro choice, don't hate Obamacare, don't hate gay marriage, support wealth redistribution, favor a maximum wage.
so I guess I'm left wondering what it is that makes me conservative?
