I don't think most democrats are racist, but I do find it strange how often they like to take entire minorities, label them as one group as if they all have the same political leanings, and then act like winning "the vote" is what will get them the white house. Do you think this is exclusive to democrats? Or perhaps a long standing political norm? I don't think it's exclusive to democrats, but if they're going to claim republicans are racist, then I expect them to hold themselves to a higher standard when it comes to this kind of stuff. How do you equate the two forms of racism? Targeting demographics politically seems different than racial discrimination, for example. I equate them because the entire concept of "targeting demographics" based on skin color is the same thing as other kinds of racism. "We need to win the working class" isn't racist, but "the black vote" kind of is. Two questions then. One, how is that racism? I'm especially interested in your answer here given your heated defense of traditional definitions. Two, how do you equate trying to appeal to certain demographics based on those demographics voting prefferences to, for example, not letting a person of color shop at your business? Or do you mean to be more specific with the term "other kinds of racism". --- Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene <cite>NadYobWoc posted [p:893854649] in Leaked Mem...
