The third video under "other links" shows us that racists don't want to be found out. They prefer to keep it secret and only let it out when they feel they are in the company of other racist sympathizers.

Here's some more proof of Republican racism.
Trent Lott, as a young congressman, Lott was among those who urged Reagan to deliver his first major campaign speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered in one of the 1960s' ugliest cases of racist violence. It was a ringing declaration of his support for "states' rights" — a code word for resistance to black advances clearly understood by white Southern voters.

Republican Racism

US Newswire: "Nadia Naffe, who worked as a Field Director in Southwest Florida for the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF)," filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging race discrimination and retaliation on the job. Along with the RPOF, the lawsuit names the RNC and Bush-Cheney '04 as defendants. During 2003-2004 Naffe was the only black Field Director in FlA." She was forced to perform job assignments focused on black organizations, events and issues. Naffe complained to Party officials of this illegal practice, known as "race matching," only to be told she was being "insubordinate" and "not a team player." "After seeking and failing to get assistance from the RNC, Naffe contacted the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission...shortly afterwards she was verbally threatened with firing by the RPOF's General Counsel, Robert Sechen." One month later, Naffe was fired on a completely trumped up pretext.

GOP Chooses Racist for TN Race
09-Aug-04
Republican Racism

"An unabashed racist will represent the Republican party in the November election for a congressional seat after a write-in candidate failed to derail his effort. With 86 percent of the primary vote counted Thursday, write-in candidate Dennis Bertrand had just 1,554 votes compared to 7,671, or 83 percent, for James L. Hart, a believer in the discredited, phony science of eugenics... In November, the GOP candidate will oppose Rep. John Tanner, a Democrat who has represented the northwest Tennessee district for 15 years. Hart, 60, vows if elected to work toward keeping 'less favored races' from reproducing or immigrating to the United States. In campaign literature, Hart contends that 'poverty genes' threaten to turn the United States into 'one big Detroit.'" We demand a complete denunciation of Bertrand by Bush, Gillespie, and the rest of the GOP!

Incredible! GOP's Ballenger Blamed Women in Scarves for His Failed Marriage!
04-Dec-03
Republican Racism

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed the lawsuit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in response to an October 2003 Charlotte Observer newspaper article in which Rep. Cass Ballenger (R-NC) claimed the stress of living near CAIR in Washington, D.C., caused the breakup of his marriage. Ballenger said that proximity to CAIR 'bugged the hell' out of his wife. He said his wife also objected to women 'wearing hoods' [traditional Muslim scarves] going in and out of CAIR's Capitol Hill headquarters. CAIR is seeking $2 million in compensatory and punitive damages, together with costs and attorney's fees. " Can you believe these rightwingnuts? Limbaugh blames liberals for his drug addiction, Janklow blames his murderous driving habits on diabetes. Now Ballenger blames women in scarves for his divorce. Pathetic!!

No Joke! Kissing a Hispanic Girl Gets Rep a Spot at GOP Hispanic Conference
09-Nov-03
Republican Racism

DNC blog: "Republicans are insulting the intelligence of Hispanic voters by saying they deserve to be part of the GOP Hispanic Conference because they kissed Hispanic girls: [from the National Journal] 'GOP efforts to reach out to Hispanic voters took an odd turn when House Republicans this week introduced their new Congressional Hispanic Conference. Several of the conference's members aren't themselves Latino and struggled to make the Hispanic connection. Rep. Chris Cannon of Utah volunteered that, as a fifth-grader, he got his first kiss from a Hispanic girl who was two years older. Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona hopped on the Love Boat by describing how he fell in love with - and married - a Filipino lady who speaks Portuguese.' How about creating jobs for the parents of Hispanic boys and girls or providing them with affordable and quality health care? That is what our Democratic members that make up the Congressional Hispanic Caucus work on, day in and day out."

Once Again, GOP Used Racism to Divide Electorate
06-Nov-03
Republican Racism

"They had all the ingredients to become Mississippi's first black politicians elected to a statewide office since Reconstruction: strong resumes, party backing and money to lure voters. But state Sen. Barbara Blackmon, a lieutenant governor candidate, and Gary Anderson, a candidate for state treasurer, both lost Tuesday, and some observers say their skin color factored into the outcome. Rickey Cole, chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, said the GOP's tactics in this election season harked back to "Nixon's Southern Republican strategy to make subtle winks and nods to white racism in the South." Both Blackmon and Anderson are Democrats. Blackmon got just 37% of the vote against Republican Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck, who got 61%... [ Haley] Barbour often wore the state flag lapel pin. In stump speeches, Barbour and Tuck told cheering crowds that they supported the state flag, which voters chose to keep in 2001 over the protests of blacks and whites who found it offensive."

Conyers and Nadler Call for Investigation into Scrubbed DOJ Diversity Report
05-Nov-03
Republican Racism

"Dear Mr. Inspector General: We are writing to ask that the U.S. Department of Justice's OIG investigate the Department's conduct in delaying the release of and making redactions to a report on diversity in the Department's attorney workforce... We were extremely alarmed to learn that the Department of Justice had not only delayed release of this important report by more than one year, but opted to redact more than half of its pages, including the summary section. It is our understanding that the Department elected to redact such critical findings as 'the department does face significant diversity issues' and 'minorities are significantly more likely than whites to cite stereotyping, harassment, and racial tensions as characteristics of the work climate.' In our view, it is outrageous that the very agency that is charged with rooting out discrimination would make it so difficult for the public to scrutinize its own civil rights record."

Republicans Rally Behind Cubin's Racist Remarks - Where is the Outrage?
11-Apr-03
Republican Racism

PentaPost opines, "Rep. Barbara Cubin (R-WY), has out-Lotted Mr. Lott. Mrs. Cubin's remarks came not in a birthday tribute to a centenarian but on the floor of the House of Representatives, in the midst of a serious debate on a gun measure... And unlike in the case of Mr. Lott, Mrs. Cubin's remarks seem to have provoked barely a word of protest from her Republican colleagues... To argue analogously that the amendment would have kept dealers from selling guns in the black community is true only if you subscribe to a worldview in which 'African American' equals 'presumptive drug user.' Yet more astonishing than Mrs. Cubin's obtuseness was that when the full House considered whether to have Mrs. Cubin's words 'taken down' as offensive... it voted in her favor, 227 to 195. Not a single Republican lawmaker voted against the remarks. Afterward, not a word of criticism from House Republican leaders. "

'Message to America from the Racist Republican Regime: Happy Martin Luther '****' Day'
17-Jan-03
Republican Racism

"As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Republicans will talk like they have supported King's vision of a colorblind society and African-American rights all along, when their records and actions speak otherwise. That's just more of the Republican con job. Republican racism goes much deeper than Sen. Lott. There's Sen. Jefferson Sessions of Alabama, who once called a black assistant U.S. attorney 'boy' and a white civil rights attorney a 'disgrace to his race.' There's Sen. George Allen of Virginia, who displays a Confederate flag in his living room. There's Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who was a member of the all-white Belle Meade Country Club in Nashville, Tenn., before running for the Senate in 1994. There's Rep. Cass Ballenger of North Carolina who recently told a newspaper reporter he had 'segregationist' feelings and called former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, an African-American Democrat from Georgia, a 'bitch.'" The list goes on and on, writes Jackson Thoreau.

Racist Bush Sends Flowers to Neo-Confederates Celebrating Jefferson Davis
20-Jan-03
Republican Racism

Time reports, "Last Memorial Day, for the second year in a row, Bush's White House sent a floral wreath to the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery. Six days later, as the United Daughters of the Confederacy celebrated Jefferson Davis' birthday there, Washington chapter president Vicki Heilig offered a 'word of gratitude to George W. Bush' for 'honoring' the Old South's dead. Bush has quietly reinstated a tradition dating back to Woodrow Wilson that his father had halted in 1990... One of the organizations connected to the ceremony is the Sons of Confederate Veterans, whose 'Chief Aide-de-Camp' is Richard T. Hines, a politically active lobbyist from South Carolina. In that state's brutal 2000 Republican primary, Hines reportedly helped finance tens of thousands of letters blasting Bush rival John McCain for failing to support the flying of the Confederate flag over the state capitol. Hines declined to comment."

Racist E-mail is Linked to Powerful Bush Ally Paul Weyrich
06-Jan-03
Republican Racism

California Republican Vice Chair Bill Back is in deep doodoo over his 1999 e-mail of an article that blamed Reconstruction - not slavery - for America's legacy of racism. Joe Conason asks why Bush won't repudiate Back and the article by William Lind. "It's likely that Rove and Bush don't want to annoy William Lind's patron, the powerful far-right figure Paul Weyrich, who often made life miserable for the White House during the first Bush regime. Lind operates the Center for Cultural Conservatism, a subsidiary of Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation, where he fantasizes about burning feminists at the stake and concocts theories about the Marxist Jews who have infected American culture... Last summer, Lind appeared at a Washington conference of Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis." Where is the outrage???

Racist Campaigns for California GOP Chair
05-Jan-03
Republican Racism

NY Daily News reports, "A candidate for chairman of the California state Republican Party issued an apology yesterday after it was reported he once sent party members an article claiming the country might be better off if the South had won the Civil War. Bill Back, vice chairman of the California GOP, circulated the article in a party newsletter in 1999 that was E-mailed to about 500 people. The article, by conservative commentator William Lind, said, 'Given how bad things have gotten in the old U.S.A., it's not hard to believe that history might have taken a better turn. 'The real damage to race relations in the South came not from slavery, but from Reconstruction, which would not have occurred if the South had won,' added Lind... Back, who's locked in a two-man race for next month's election to lead the state party, told the Sacramento Bee and the Contra Costa Times that he couldn't remember why he included the piece." 'Cuz he's a Republican racist, that's why!

And finally,
Bill Clinton Denounces the GOP's Racist 'Southern Strategy'
19-Dec-02
Republican Racism

CNN reports, "Former President Clinton said Wednesday it is 'pretty hypocritical' of Republicans to criticize...Trent Lott for stating publicly what he said the GOP does 'on the back roads every day.' 'How do they think they got a majority in the South anyway?' Clinton told CNN outside a business luncheon he was attending. 'I think what they are really upset about is that he made public their strategy.' He added: 'They try to suppress black voting, they ran on the Confederate flag in Georgia and South Carolina, and from top to bottom the Republicans supported it.' Clinton's comments were strongly refuted by a Republican spokesman, who called on the former president to 'check his facts.'" We did - and they are COMPLETELY accurate. It's time for the Republican Party to be held accountable for four decades of pandering to white racists, which began in 1968 with Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy."

Slate I'll go one on one with you with theses stories anytime. I have mounds of stories to back me up and I withheld a lot more. Republicans have appealed to the Southern states and that's why they became Red states. The Leftover, southern Democrats, will vote Republican as was seen in the last election. So as far as i'm concerned they are only Democrat in name. They are actually Republicans.
