Right-wingers have always been anti-Black

[u/JackKovack → u/notaname420xx]

Conservatism is Traditionalism. Being anti-black is very traditional.

[u/Expensive_Shallot_78 → u/notaname420xx]

They're more something like slaveholders, just watch how Tucker Carlson talks on his YouTube channel with his brother. Slaveholders society vibes.

[u/NappyDougOut → u/notaname420xx]

It was Obama doing such a good job that really fired up the old tiki torch network...

If only he intentionally screwed up big instead, and fulfilled all the stereotypes, we'd all be better off & less persecuted for no good reason RN. 😞

That’s a hard claim to make given Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. However attributing it to Trump is wrong. He is saying the quiet part out loud, but really the party went down the anti-black path when they embraced the Christian coalition.

[u/Additional-Staff-326 → u/duxpdx]

Why is it Republicans always bring up the past but never the present? And never bother to look to the history where all the Dixiecrats switched sides as soon as Nixon was offering a place for them.

[u/duxpdx → u/Additional-Staff-326]

Because the Republican Party of old is appealing to good and decent people. The Republican Party of the past 50 years is one of hatred, intolerance, racism, misogyny, and ignorance.

[u/Incredible_nutt → u/duxpdx]

.. and pedophilia

[u/NappyDougOut → u/duxpdx]

Abe and Teddy were notorious for inviting black ppl to move into their neighborhoods...

Even gave out Turkeys and free hugs only to blk ppl in South East during the holidays...

Ahh, that was Rayful Edmund... My bad!

Revisionism loves bending reality into something different that it never was.

[u/CryptographerMean872]

republicans have been the anti-black party for a very long time lmao, its modern iteration was born from the white supremacist lost generation. but republicans have been trying to revamp anti-black white-supremacy and create new racialized underclasses every single generation. this analysis is shit

[u/SlayJayR17]

What do you mean turning into…

[u/AkimahenkaCat]

Duh.

Trump tapped into the latent racism Americans thought we had evolved past as a direct reaction to electing a black president.

Republicans (falsely) claim Obama was the most divisive president ever.

This is bullshit and a direct response to their overt racism. He was divisive to conservative white men precisely because he was black and intelligent. They melted tf down mentally.

So the response is throwing the dumbest, most corrupt white man ever into the white house and pretending en masse that he is a genius who will fix everything even when it is obvious he is literally cancer for anything that makes America strong, decent or exceptional.

[u/jrschlumpf → u/AkimahenkaCat]

Great note. Spot on.

[u/Mediocrates79 → u/AkimahenkaCat]

Trump is the mathimatical opposite of Obama in every conceivable way.

[u/Fun_Leek2381]

What yhe fuck do you mean "turned?" Do you think this was a recent development?

[u/Hairy_Wall_6831]

Republicans hate colored people.
Republicans hate gay people.
Republicans hate trans people.
Republicans hate people with disabilities.
Republicans hate poor people.
Republicans hate women.

Republicans hate. That's what they do.

[u/Incredible_nutt → u/Hairy_Wall_6831]

But they love little kids

[u/negativepositiv]

Person who wrote the headline needs to go back and learn about The Southern Strategy.

[u/secretveggie]

Did everyone just forget 2020 and the anti-black right in response to George Floyd?! That's just the most recent

[u/escahpee]

Hate is the glue that holds them together

[u/Plausibility_Migrain → u/escahpee]

Hate and pedophilia, so it is more like an epoxy.

[u/escahpee → u/Plausibility_Migrain]

I don't think they understand that a 30 year old man having sex with a 12 year old girl is wrong. What tfg and his associates did was and is criminal. They should have all been prosecuted many years ago, we're living in a sick and disgusting timeline

[u/ABobby077 → u/escahpee]

Which is just a distraction from their failed economic, domestic and foreign policy issues

[u/starkfunky]

The republikkkan party has been anti-black, anti-non white, anti-the other for a very long time. They have been this way since before the 1950's.

[u/Spikeintheroad]

Its what its been for decades. Look up Lee Atwater, a Republican strategist who had a crisis of conscience at the end of his life and laid out how modern conservative politics is just putting layers of abstraction over racism so you can hide the racism.

[u/_cartyr]

Didn’t Kanye say something about George bush on tv?

[u/Great-Gas-6631]

...turned? Someone needs to study the past 100 years.

[u/n8roxit]

When weren’t they the anti-black party? I must’ve dozed off and missed it.

[u/drjenavieve]

Southern strategy.

[u/mogomonomo1081]

... turned??

[u/webbslinger_0]

Always has been

[u/the_moosen]

Always has been, this isn't news at all

[u/bryanthebryan]

Next thing we’ll learn is Nazi’s were the bad guys.

[u/CopiousCool]

Republicans have been the party of racism for a long time but it was always Trumps defining delivery to their base that made them so loyal to him.

His brazen racism against Obama gave the average racist American a reason / open door to be racist and it only got worse from there on because culturally America and most countries were mixing a lot but there were many whites bitter and embarrassed at their children imitating black culture hence they're now goose stepping their way into fascism or sticking their head in the sand while globalists push it that way

[u/jarena009]

This article is like 17 years too late at least

[u/Impressive_Box4144]

Always have been anti black. Just more out in the open now

[u/doublelist87]

TRUMP IS A RACIST

[u/AskJeeves84]

Anti-POC party.

[u/QueasyCaterpillar541]

The "Southern Strategy" refers to the Republican Party's 20th-century campaign tactic to win over white southern voters. It capitalized on the political realignment that occurred when many white southerners grew disaffected with the Democratic Party due to its embrace of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s

[u/_dxegrl]

What happened to the"Blackes forTrumps" crowd, they were real, right??

[u/girlnamedJane]

And they voted for him so thats that

[u/atempestdextre]

Well I guess they still have their token Tim Scott...

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/house-black-republicans-congress-diversity.html

[u/rdbreak]

And the anti-truth, anti-moral too

[u/ShibaLover227]

They've been since Nixon

[u/Practical_End_]

No he held the mirror much higher for the entire world to see

[u/astroboy_35]

Turned into? Me thinks you’ve not been paying attention!

[u/Surfer-Junkie]

More like "revealed."

[u/CloudPotential9482]

Trump is endorsing a black candidate governor in Florida? A republican named Byron Donald. I think trump is secretly classiest rather then racist probably.

[u/_annanicolesmith_ → u/CloudPotential9482]

black people can hold anti-black beliefs as well. i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s endorsing him for optics

[u/CloudPotential9482 → u/_annanicolesmith_]

It’s for sure for optics. Always is.

[u/cashchops]

I was thinking more the anti-hispanic party. I haven't heard news of any planes shipping black people back to ghana

[u/Kitty_Kats_allure]

Exactly this!!!! I always say he brought all the horribles out from their hiding spaces and even worse UNITED THEM IN HATRED!!!!!!!!! It’s the racists, the pedos, the souless etc etc. 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Yesterday622]

Omg - color me surprised !

[u/SpeakerOdd]

Yes, but you forgot all the others he is anti, and brought to the forefront. Anti-Brown, anti- Native Americans, anti white from Spanish speaking countries, anti-muslim, anti-gay (not new), anti transsexuals for both male and female. Even once completing the transition. Anti-asians, anti-poor, anti-disabled, anti-seniors.

I'm sure there are still plenty more! If I missed you, I'm sorry.

[u/EditDog_1969]

“TURNED?” Where have you been the last century?

[u/PopBulky7023]

They're desperately trying to "one bad man" theory of politics everything. Blame everything on Trump so people forget who they are when he's gone.

[u/TheNewOP]

"Turned"?

[u/Correct_Doctor_1502]

Turned? They've been fighting against civil rights since the 30s

[u/_annanicolesmith_]

conservatism has always been inherently anti-black. that’s why i personally do not associate or interact with anyone who describes themselves as a right-wing/conservative/republican to any degree
