So why exactly are Republicans a mostly white party?

[Techriding101]

Same reason democrats are a mostly white party.

[QuentinSutpen]

Same reason democrats are a mostly white party.

40% of Democrats are non-whites

<20% of Republicans are non-whites


Or to put in another way

60% of Democrats are white (which matches the general population)

81% of Republicans are white

[QuentinSutpen]

A better question is why haven't Dems won the majority of the white vote since 1965?

[Ashton117]

Trick question - it’s because if you don’t vote for democrats then you ain’t black...because of this loophole it’s easy to see why republicans are mostly white






But I think a lot of it is due to habit, victim mentality, and the messaging/propaganda of the left. All of the worst areas for a black person to live in have been ran by democrats for decades, yet they’ll continue to go in in large numbers and vote democrat every election cycle.






My post from another thread that never got addressed:





Trump - cracked down on illegal immigration to help make sure jobs that were created went to Americans

Biden - will probably not be nearly as adamant about stopping illegal immigration



Trump- created tax cuts for businesses which allowed them to profit more and hire more employees, resulting in record low numbers of unemployment for minorities and record low number of minorities requiring govt. assistance

Biden - will probably tax businesses more, negating some of that progress




Trump- passed tax reform which allowed people to keep more of their paycheck each week and also allowed other things like getting more money back for each child

Biden- will probably have to keep this in place because of the uproar it would cause if he removes it, but we’ll have to wait and see and Trump deserves credit either way




Trump - appointed an education secretary who is adamant about school choice, one of the most important aspects for offering a way to improve quality of life in poor areas and break generational poverty. Damning poor kids to horrible schools is one of the best ways to make sure they stay poor

Biden - has tossed around a former teachers union leader as education secretary, who will certainly oppose school choice



Trump - created energy policies which created lots of jobs and resulted in incredibly low gas prices, which disproportionately helps the poor

Biden- probably has plans to stop a lot of that progress which will kill jobs and almost certainly drive up gas prices



Trump- worked to enact prison reform to make it easier for people to transition back into society

Biden- we don’t know what he’ll do, but we can already judge him for what he’s done in the past




Trump- denounced white supremacists more than any other president in history and even categorized the KKK as a terrorist group

Biden- tells people they aren’t black if they don’t vote for him

Okay, I'll give you the real answer

Black Americans vote Democrat because the Democrats, with JFK and LBJ, passed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act in 1964 and 1965 which Republicans opposed. This was a period of time when black Americans faced incredible amount of racism from Republican politicians.

After that the Republican party used the Southern Strategy to turn out white voters in the south.


The Republican Party has voters that fly the Confederate flag and arguments about that aside, it's obvious things like that put off black voters.


The rest of your argument is essentially about Republican economic policy and various other policies which you think are superior.

You fail to mention that in the last 100 years every republican president has had a recession in office. 10/10 while democrats are 3/8.
Democrats have factually outperformed Republicans significantly in gdp growth, stock market performance with lower deficits.

Look at the attachment in the link. The combination with the highest growth is all democrat president, senate and house.

Black people believe in systematic racism and white privilege and that's not going away.

If they are talking about the illuminati, they mean white people.

Democrats want official documents printed in Spanish, generally try to be more accommodating to native cultures, while Republicans insist on assimilation. The main thing is Democrats want to make it easier for more Hispanics, Indians, ect... to make it into the country compared to Republicans.

Honestly they can't really make it in our country unless they speak English. I mean I do see some jobs here close to the border that requires English + Spanish, so I see where you are getting at, but those bilinguals jobs pay really badly compared to a straight up English required job. Like we have a lot of Mexicans in accounting here in southern California, and the ones who don't speak English are **** out of luck.

White liberal... You poor person of color Look what that terrible other white person did, here let me give you stuff because you can't do it on your own.

Person of color... Yes sir mister boss man sir.

Conservative... You know when you treat people like that, they become dependent on you.

White liberal... Look at the HORRIBLE things that racist just said about you, here have some food stamps no no no don't better yourself we'll give you almost everything you need to almost survive.

This might have been a worthwhile attempt at an argument if the most financially successful ethnic minority groups didn't also all vote overwhelmingly D.

Indian Americans are the single highest earning and among the most highly educated demographics in the US. They vote overwhelmingly D, even moreso than black Americans do IIRC. Same goes for other Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, etc.

Those "Republicans" that fly the confederate flag and who were won over by the southern strategy were dixiecrats. (Democrats in the south) who were pro segregation.

The real question is why do democrats have success in office and why do recession happen under republicans. Not Republicans = recession and Democrat = not recession

Indians vote overwhelmingly D because they want more people in the country who look and act like them. Democrats want no immigration controls. Easy to understand. Indians want to live in India 2.0 with better economics.

Those pathetic losers at the signing of the Hart-Celler act all giddy at the signing of the act that would become the downfall of America. Truly, those people are the scum of the earth.

Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act

I was referring to Republicans flying the Confederate flag today, in 2020.

You said it yourself, Democrats have success in office.

[DoctorJihad]

Non-Hispanic whites make up about 60% of the population (and dropping fast). They make up about 80% of the Republican base. So there is a discrepancy.

In 2040 or so, non-Hispanic whites will be under 50% of the total population.

Well as the non-Hispanic white population drops, the quality of life in America will likely also drop substantially seeing as they are among one of the only groups that are net tax payers.

Democrats passed the New Deal do you think that might have anything to do with it?

Democrats have success of overseeing a non recession. Which has more to do with luck of the business cycle.

Lol imagine if a democrats were actually in office and a recession hit. Down and down it goes

So every single Republican president 10/10 having a recession is luck?

Democrats have higher economic growth, higher stock performance and lower deficits. All facts.

Aren't you a progressive and you're talking about stocks?

[BullittEV]

I am quite content and happy in DC so all of your other assumptions are just you throwing stuff at the wall and as always being incorrect.

Who is crying,I AM SIMPLY pointing out your creepy stalker tendency with 47 other posts TO COMMENT ON freak boy.
And a word to the wise, stop INFERRING THE WRONG THINGS AND GUESS WHAT, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING CORRECT.
My post said that Steele told us what he thought the issue was with the party as the RNC chair, nothing more nothing less Mr. thin skin.(no need to get butthurt)

As for your last paragraph what the FK?
Nice non sequitur.

Wish you luck in your battle w/ reality!
