More Liberal racism: Reaction to Stacy Dash endorses Romney

[_Droopy]

It is as I've always said. To be a liberal or a Democrat is to be a racist. There are no possible exceptions (not even Jensen) because of the Romans 1:32 principle.

Then Democrat's should feel at home in the Church since the foundation of LDS theology is racism.

Actually, the foundation of LDS theology is deification through obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and all of the human family has always been included in the "plan of salvation." Even in the 19th century, when the priesthood ban was in full force, blacks were never denied this within an LDS theological framework, including the speculative explanations for the ban.

The priesthood ban was understood from the very beginning to be a limitation within mortality only, and as modern comments from official Church sources have made clear (including President Kimball in his original announcement), the ultimate end of the ban had been foreseen from its inception.

Roll the dice again, Gad.

Gee, you'd think that African-Americans would be to see that voting Republican would be in their own sel-interest...wait a minute...if I'm not a racist then I would have believe that African-Americans would be to see that and vote accordingly...The only reason that African-Americans would not be able to see that would be if they were not able to see what was in their own self interest...and that would be racist.

Who are all these "African-Americans?" I've known, been friends with, and worked with a large number of black Americans, and only on one occasion have I ever met first-generation immigrants to this country who were black, and they were Caribbean-Americans, not African-Americans.

Political correctness is a harsh and torturous taskmaster, and the writhing linguistic contortions pious leftists must undergo to remain with the fashionable confines of contemporary radical chic are a grotesque and well-nigh unendurable spectacle to behold.

Nice to see that Sandra Fluke is supporting Stacey Dash against the racist and other obnoxious attacks.

Hurray!!! Droopy's back! All is well in the right-most fringe of Zion once again.

Here is a little hint on manners, offered free of charge.

It is polite to refer to people in the way they ask to be referred to, no matter how much you despise that little thing that some of us call "caring about other people's feelings," but which you would call "political correctness." That's why we use terms like Native American instead of Indian, and why we avoid racial epithets I won't list here.

If you are not concerned at all about this type of politeness, I wonder why you use "black" (the preferred term starting a few decades back) instead of "negro" or "colored" (earlier preferences)?

Affirmative Action.

Affirmative Action violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It is time for the Supreme Court to get rid of it.

Is Supreme Court set to end use of race in admissions?:

In the current case, Fisher's claim that the Texas program is unconstitutional rests on the legal argument that, under the Equal Protection Clause, universities can use race only if there is no other way to improve diversity. Fisher argues that the top 10 percent law is sufficient for boosting racial diversity.

Yes, let's all play make-believe. Let's pretend we live in a country where Jim Crow and segregated schools didn't create a disadvantage for African-Americans for generations. Let's pretend those same disadvantages did not create generational and familial handicaps which were then passed on to children and grandchildren. Let's pretend that now that Jim Crow and segregated schools have been abolished, that those same generational and familial handicaps can be ignored. The magic wand has been waved and they never existed at all!

What does the existence of past racism (and current racism) have to do with the deplorable attacks on Stacey Dash for daring to support a Republican?

It doesn't. It has to do with all the silly responses claiming that Democrats are the real racists due to things like affirmative action.

Yup. I don't recall how others responded to the original dumb tweets, but the first thing I said was that those people were out of line. However, the discussion quickly turned to what constitutes racism.

[_moksha]

Oh, for god's sake. You're going to make the generalization that all democrats are racist because of what a few jerks said on Twitter?

Stories must be created somehow. Taking facts and converting them to fiction is actually taught in creative writing.
