How is labeling Conservatives as racist different from racists labeling all Black people?

Racism comes in all forms and the Liberal Left is at the top of the heap when it comes to the racist mentality. How many times have your heard people in the Democrat party, or people on this site, label Conservatives as racist? When you call Conservatives racist, you are making blanket statements about people with no proof or evidence to support such ludicrous accusations. It is no different than the idiot remarks from true racists who hate all Blacks because of their skin color.... lumping them all as being the problem.

So tell me what Conservatives have done to support your argument that they are racists. Tell me the planks in their politics that supports your ludicrous claims.

When I speak to the problems with Liberals, I speak to the things they support in the Democrat party. I give example after example of the things Liberals support when they elect Liberal Democrats. Are all Liberals pro choice? There may be a very very few Liberals who are not pro choice, but then why would they vote for the pro abortion party if that were true. Is not life and death the most important priorities when one votes for a party?
So if Conservatives voted for a Ku Klux clan member today, I would agree they were racists! The vast majority of Conservatives would never vote for a true racist. There are of course a few racists in every party such as Black racists against Whites, terrorists who call themselves Democrats, etc.
Where are your examples of how Conservatives are racists when they have Black men running for the Republican presidency. Conservatives love Ben Carson!

You constantly show your mindless Liberal rhetoric as you judge and ridicule Conservatives and paint them all in the same light. WHERE'S YOUR PROOF! I constantly give you my proof when calling out Liberals to who they are and what they support with their vote.

Stop being racists by labeling Conservatives with little proof of your accusations.

I will use the instant ban button if I hear one mindless claim that voter ID is a racist thing. Proving our citizenship should be an obvious requirement for electing our leaders when we have so much fraud, illegal immigrants, etc. It is no way a racial thing.

If one is labeling all conservatives as racists then that is inaccurate and problematic. However, if this is levied at the conservative party as an entity with a political platform, codified ideology, and policies then it could very well be valid and not overly generalized.

...Conservatism isn't race specific so your comparison is a bit off there. One is being labeled for how they look (phenotype) the other is being labeled for their actions(in general). But it isn't your main point really. So on to it...Conservatism is a movement of championing old ways over new ways and as such in some countries conservatism is a movement of normalizing oppressive behaviors.

For examples of this in action in countries like the US look at the current GOP strategy of winning elections; The Southern Strategy.

This method relies on the demonization of a group of people (blacks) to be a rallying point for the conservative movement by collecting those that buy into that construction of the group of people it negatively targets. That was an explicit point when Nixon's strategist implemented the Southern Strategy and it continues even in todays elections.

Here is what Nixons Political stategist said in an interview with New York Times;

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.

Secong citation, page three third column if you want to read on a bit. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

You are correct though in describing the broad brush that is used when someone is making claims of "conservatives are racist". To be clear, I am not defending the claim that conservatives are racist. I am just noting why in countries like the US conservatives are thought of as the party of racists.

When you actully address my argument instead of this idiot who plagiarizes my words, I might actually address your response.

Isn't it a sin for you to lie?

You ban anyone who addresses your arguments, hence why Cuaroc makes these.

It seems to me that you (purposely), left out the word ALL before Conservative, and interjected it into the remark about black people.. Few of us label ALL conservatives racist. It's obvious that many kind of lean toward their far right base simply because there are so many votes there. (And so many racists).
