How the heck is it racist? I stated a fact blacks vote Dem 96% of the time and in my opinion the Den party doesn't do anything for Blacks. How is anything I said racist????
Racists usually don’t see themselves as they are...
Indeed.
"Those people don't know how to take care of themselves" is a racist trope that goes all the way back to the days of slavery.
Ghost of Igloi and Calamity Joe were stating the modern version, which is popular in Republican circles. It's about as racist as it gets. They really think that African Americans are too stupid to vote their own interests. It's amazing Republicans can't see how such a belief is the very epitome of racist thought.
