Republicans due there own PR on making minorities “think” they are racists.

Trump used racism to get elected. Remember Obama is a Kenyan

Republicans love racists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson

Minorities see Repudiations try to blunt the impact of minority voters.

Republicans are not victims, Republicans are oppressors.

Democrats are using Critical Racist Theory to achieve Gov. George Wallace's (D, AL) goal of, "Segregation forever!" with their skin color segregated "safe spaces," dorms and graduations. Democrats judge people based on the color of their skin, not the content of their character. For Democrats, "colorblind" and "meritocracy" are code words for "white supremacy," not goals written into law by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 14th Amendment. When Democrats call Republicans racist, they're just projecting their own prejudices, not looking at the truth.

Conservatives are banning books on Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Hank Aaron, and Roberto Clemente, etc. Your claim of CRT is incorrect. My niece loves reading about her history. She is currently reading about a Black female cartoonist, Jackie Ormes. Conservatives are pulling books off school shelves because it deviates from Conservative Lost Cause beliefs. If books tell the truth, Conservatives will try to block those books. If anyone is focused on race, it is Conservatives targeting Black authors.

The books conservatives don't like are books that support Orwellian rewrites of history, like the 1619 project. For example, saying that slaves built America is factually false. Slaves were never more tha 20% of the American population. There weren't enough of them to build America on their own. Plenty of other folks worked hard to build America.

Another example is the basic fact that in 1619 there were no slavery laws in place in Virginia, or any other British Colony in North America. The slaves in 1619 were sold as servants indentured for 14 years.

The real racists belong to the party that fights charter schools in cities they control, so they can get political contributions from teachers' unions.  They prefer teachers' unions contributions to educated black children.  The real racists are the party who won't pick up the garbage in Baltimore's black neighborhoods.  The real racists are always talking about race, because they haven't given minorities any real reason to vote for Democrats.   The party that is constantly race baiting minorities to get votes are the real racists.

Nice try. The books that Conservatives are removing from shelves are books about Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron,etc.Teachers and librarians are afraid to place books about Black history on the shelves. Your attempt at misdirection will not work.

You talk about garbage when two Republican Governors have poisoned Black citizens in their states.

There is a constant Conservative whine about the 1619 Project yet not a word about Lost Cause history texts still being in classrooms. When history is written to fit a truer version of events, Conservatives whine that their feelings are hurt and cry CRT.

Blacks are not focused on race. Blacks complain about racial issues because white Conservatives do things like attempting to suppress votes in majority Black areas. We know the hearts of Conservatives. We will not be silent as Conservatives attack us.

Conservatives love Trump, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene. We are laughing at the convictions of 4 Proud Boys. Proud Boys are best buds with MTG.

Conservatives, we see you and know who you are.

Please provide some book titles that have been banned. Please provide names, dates ad states of the governors you accuse of poisoning blacks. Please provide titles of history books that justify secession as the "lost cause" and states where they're used. IOW, put up or…

Asking for voter ID ain't voter suppression. Having over 50% of voting machines in heavily Republican Maricopa County fail on election day, 2022 because they were "accidentally" set up wrong is voter suppression.

It's interesting that you don't seem to care about rotten inner city schools, as you blithely ignore them in your response. Further, the systemic racism in a most all big American cities was set up but the Democrats who have run then for decades. For example, the last Republican mayor of Chicago left office in 1931.

Why is the left obssessed with race? The explanation is identity voting. If you vote your identity, bad governance is irrelevant. It doesn't change your identity. So you keep voting your identity, even though the government gets worse and worse. If you're convinced your identity means you vote for leftist Democrats, you continue to vote for leftist Democrats, regardless of how bad they do in governing.

Typical Conservative gibberish. If no books are being banned, why are teachers suing the state of Florida and DeSantis? I named some of the books. Republicans in multiple states want to cut education funding. The Republicans in Missouri wanted to defund public libraries.

Regarding poisoning, Google Flint and Jackson

So-called identity voting is because Republicans are so vile. Conservatives are the biggest gift the Democrats receive.

Why are you not confronting the racists in the GOP? They are are big reason Republicans don’t appeal to Black voters.

Republicans are supporting a guy who had to shut down a university and a charity because they were frauds. He is also on trial for rape. Conservatives argue that Clarence Thomas is more moral than President Obama, even as we see Thomas rake in money while refusing to recuse himself from cases with a conflict of interest.

Republicans ran Herschel Walker. It is starting to appear that he is a money grabber like Clarence Thomas.

Conservatives are hilarious.

Edit to add:

What is tiresome about discussions with Conservatives is that they repeatedly disparage Democrats. They never argue about how well Blacks are doing in Republican led states. Because they are not. On a national level, Republicans want to cut education funding in a way that would impact low-income children. They will the blame Democratic mayors for poor outcomes.

If you are unaware of the bias in history textbooks, you are being willfully ignorant
