Yeah, a long time ago this was true. However, today's Republican Party is the opposite of your grandparent's Republican Party!!!!!! You had better pay attention because the Republican Party has never supported a King for President!!!!!!

Instead of saying republican or democrat she should be saying conservative or liberal.

Exactly! I can respect what he's saying about hearing it that way, but its really not meant to offend

Adding a S to the end of a word just means there is more then one meaning a group it’s just a short cut to get your point across when you are referring to an amount of something

“Black People” is plural, too. Idk I just have always said “Black People” “Black Folk” / “White People” “White Folk” etc.

@@Syzygy77 It's simply a different phrasing....but is commonly used and neither is considered offensive. Just Google the term "Whites" and you will see it commonly used across the spectrum of sources as well - particularly in political discussions and polling.

Good point!

I just noticed a peach was fuzzy! RACIST!

Specially main stream media

Yes. "Black is beautiful" was a huge movement when I was little in the '70s. James Brown had the hit, I'm Black and I'm Proud. Why? It was a backlash against the segregational term "colored." During segregation, there were all the signs for water fountains, restrooms and virtually everything indicating "white" and "colored" people. It was a hateful practice so the term associated with it was understandably seen as being a hateful term. Adopting a different term that hadn't been used during that time is understandable. Someone at some point decided later that the correct term was African American. However, there were several labels that have been tried at different times; People of Color and Afro-Americans are two names that were used. Everybody is supposed to be using their "correct" label for everybody Italian-American, Irish-American. I remember being told by an older black man when I was a teen, that I should never call black people African-Americans unless they are from Africa and were now naturalized citizens. Who was I to argue with him?

People change, language changes. Funny how people can make big deals out of things. Had the big deal awhile back between Native American and Indians. Ojibwa’s in general prefer Indian. Anything can be offensive. Depends on how it is said and how it is perceived.

@@btorr2945 Yes, exactly. It all depends on... anything really. I can see both sides of things. Take the Washington Redskins hoopla. They bore that name for 80 years and I remember watching a TV series that had an American Indian character who repeatedly said that they were the "best damn team" in the episode. I know the logo of the Indian chief that replaced the original R in the circle was created by a leader of the Blackfeet Indian tribe. He said ge used traditional paint patterns and wanted to have the mascot represent an accurate rendering. In 2003, just before he passed he had said he was glad that they kept it when another Indian group was offended by it. After his death, charges that he never actually had anything to do with the creation of the logo were leveled, but his son maintained that it was indeed his fathers creation. Those protests to remove the head called it racist, despite the origins. Eventually, the outcry to outright remove the logo and the name won out. Several American Indian groups got together to try and reinstate the name last year as a matter of pride. I suppose there is always someone that will be and someone that won't be bothered by something. There will also be people that go out of their way to not offend and to offend. It was Marilyn Manson that bemoaned the fact that he just wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

True

Skip to the end, if you like... The world "negro" is Portuguese for "black." The Portuguese coasted Africa in an attempt to avoid sailing the Mediterranean Sea which was completely controlled by Muslim corsairs who would seize the ships, enslave the crews and sell the merchandise. Avoiding them was good business. Coasting the continent of Africa while looking for the Far East and its exotic products, they would sail into a river for fresh water and food. When they reached what is now the Rio Negro, the native people looking back at them were black. They did not understand the language of these people, so they called the people "negro," as a description, named the river to match and continued their journey. When I was a child, "negro" was considered a polite term, at least among middle class whites. In any case, it was preferable to "the n-word" which was *_such_* a nasty word, neither my parents nor anyone they invited to our home uttered it my hearing or that of my older sisters. "Negro" is the word I remember Martin Luther King Jr using most often during the times he appeared on the news. He also used the term "colored," if I recall correctly. Using either, today, would have me in trouble fairly quickly. "Blacks" became the preferred term for a time and was fairly widely adopted. However, there was resistance to being labeled simply as a color. Then came the Frredom Riders, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and a good deal of societal upset due to numerous causes. Another word was sought by some who wanted leadership roles. "Afro-American," "African-American" and a couple others were tried before everyone settled on "African-American." For a while, anyway, that was the state of things. It appears the situation is in flux, again, as "African-American" is something of a mouthful and Charlize Theron and Elon Musk are confusing the issue of "African-American"-ness. The grandchildren of those who championed that term are adults, now, and some are apparently looking for a new word to use. Whatever is decided upon and accepted by that community will be fine. I understand the resistance to being reduced to a color as I and many others have long chafed at being reduced to "white." I much prefer to simply be "American" and to think of everyone I see here as the same. Colors are OK with me for including in descriptions but not for labels.

While that's right, it isn't wrong to look for bias though, and if he does research it he will find she is stating the facts.

I can honestly say, there was a time when the Democrat party was the party of moderation. I'm not just saying that because I used to be a democrat. The needle has moved very far left and it started with Clinton. There are people who will say I'm wrong and maybe I am but from everything I've seen in my 53 years, they were a completely different party 30 years ago. I'm only telling you this so you understand that he was voting for a different party with much different values.

@@joyedwards3423 I'm with you, except the party went far left and the country became divided with Obama. Just read his book how he wanted the USA to be a socialized society.

@@RussellMcClanahan oh yeah, he definitely changed the party dramatically. I think he got away with it because of his ethnicity but also because let's face it, love him or hate him, he is an exceptional speaker. I don't hate anybody but I certainly don't like what he did at this country. One only needs to look at how things were before that eight years and then after and they became so much worse. Socialism only benefits rich people. That's why you will notice that a lot of very wealthy people are fine with it and many even promote it. They aren't the ones that are going to hurt. It's the middle-class and lower class like me that are going to suffer. I don't need a bunch of money. I have treasures in heaven and all that matters is my walk with Jesus but I still have to survive on this earth and I would rather not do it struggling every day, like I have the last couple years. People laugh at me because I say that I believe this is an Obama third term but if you look at the way that things are going, it is definitely a continuation of the direction that Obama was taking this country in.

Say it louder for those in the back!

Americans happen to be black.(AHB)

Correct. Unless a specific description is needed why base anything on that

The democraps love it when groups refer to themselves as African American, Irish American, Mexican American. Asian American. We are self segregating ourselves and the dems go out of their way to play up to those separate groups. They play the groups against each other. If people were to start paying attention to the democraps when they speak in public they will see this is true. I prefer to refer to myself as a very proud American. If everyone were to do that it would create a large single group that would really create problems for the democraps.

honestly, i see us all as americans first and foremost. i don't see what an issue is with labels like "black" or "white" so long as we keep them as nothing more than a descriptor of appearance or ancestry.

Mee too , started my Research in Year 2015 Vietnam Era Veteran Southern California by way of Texas

except why does it matter that an "African American" ancestry may be from Africa? If they are citizens of the U.S. they are Americans. When you start specifying where someone's Ancestors came from and tag them that way you are labeling them and putting them into a group that promotes racism. I am so tired of people labeling others and saying its not racism. By labeling them you are 100% singling that group out because they are different. The citizens of this country are one thing and one thing only... AMERICANS. We are all different every single one of us but we are all Americans.

I don't really see us all as Americans anymore. There's the right, who are Americans that love America, and the leftists, who may have been born here, but they hate America, hate everything America stands for, hate Freedom, and hate the right. In turn, they don't consider people on the right as Americans, but rather as far-right extremists, and something worthy of extinction... which is why I no longer consider people on the left as Americans. I used to, until they started wishing death upon people like me who didn't agree with them.

No, she's highlighting facts that make Republicans look like the good guys while omitting facts that would make them look like the bad guys. There are rarely good guys and bad guys in history, both the Democrats and Republicans have had a rocky history with the black community. The difference is that the Republicans' rocky history was more recent, which is why the Southern Strategy was not mentioned once in this video and why every single Civil Rights leader who went into politics joined the Democratic Party.

I'm a conservative, Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves. He did it to keep the French and English out of the Civil War. For the French and English, a divided country would be easier to defeat later. Neither side will tell you that.

That's the problem, they have been conditioned their entire lives as Democrats, to be perpetual victims. There is no invisible hand of racism holding anybody back in America.

The Democrat party only functions, by telling people that they are perpetual victims and thus keeping them on the proverbial plantation, as opposed to letting them be free and think for themselves and vote in their best interests. 100% of slaves were owned by the Democrat party. They invented the KKK they invented segregation and Jim Crow laws, all that stuff was shut down by the Republicans... And what do Democrats do if they find out a black person is voting Republican...

People also try to tie this to Nixon's "Southern Strategy" that supposedly catered to racist whites. However, this ignores the demographic realities that were occurring as early as the 1930s. The South was a Republican stronghold electoral until the End of Reconstruction, at which time it reverted hard to the Democrats who then passed the vile Jim Crow laws. However, by 1910, there were cracks beginning to appear. However,the election of Wilson in 1912 and the Reformation of the KKK under Simmons and Winrod under the influence of Social Darwinism solidified Democratic power in the South as well as in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Indiana. Between 1925-1927, the Klan collapsed under the financial mismanagement and moral degeneracy of its leadership, and the South began a slow drift back toward the Republican Party. This again stagnated by the popularity of Democrats such as FDR and Truman during WWII. This essentially had allowed the racist Democrats and their heirs a monopoly on elected office, even as their constituents were leaving them. The small cracks in the Southern Democratic wall rapidly expanded with the election of John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. These cracks became severe with Johnson's Great Society plan, the mismanagement of the Vietnam War, and the maligning of the veterans coming home from the front. This, coupled with the militant Marxism on display in 1968, drove social, economic, and religious conservatives into the hands of the Republican Party, which saw the election of Nixon. The reaction to Watergate saw the South briefly return to the Democrats under Jimmy Carter but then reverted back to the Republican Party in 1980. The Democrat party successfully held sway across much of the South as late as 2004 based on the legacy voters whose ancestors had voted Democrat going at least as distant as FDR and others for even longer and the terrorizing of black voters that Republicans were the malevolent forces longing for the day that they could forever purge minorities from the nation.

@@jayt9608 So you are saying Republicans wanted to purge minorities from the nation??? Your last sentence is confusing.

Facts My Grandma taught us also.....

I am a 54-year-old white male, and I was a registered libertarian for years. I chose to become a Republican for two reasons. My first reason is because there are never any libertarians to choose from and if there are they don't have a strong enough following to actually get elected. My second reason is that I do believe in personal freedom, for instance I am a firm believer in the freedom of speech. I believe that everyone has the right to express their feelings and beliefs, and I realize the Republican party stands up for and fights for that right across the board for all Americans. The Democrats have proven over and over again that they only believe in the freedom of speech if you have the same beliefs that they have. If you say anything a Democrat doesn't like you will be censored, or be labeled as a homophobe, a racist, or whatever it takes to discredit you, and destroy your reputation. They seem to me to be saying you have the right to say whatever you want, as long as we agree with you, otherwise we will destroy you. I believe that everyone has the right to say and believe anything they want, but I also believe that I should not demonize someone because they believe differently than I do. I feel that we should be able to communicate our differences to each other and through conversations learn about each other and the reasons for our beliefs so we can all understand and respect each other. Now I cannot say that every Republican feels this way, but it truly seems that far more Republicans believe this than Democrats. As far as the term Blacks, I truly believe that she is simply trying to speak about a large group of Americans by a simple discription not in any way trying to be using a racial slur. Instead of getting caught up on one single word, I pray that you will actually listen to the historical truths she is sharing, and if you have any doubts about the truth of what she has said do your own research. Knowledge you obtain is yours as long as you live, it can't be taken away from you, and it is a very powerful tool. I wish you both great happiness and success in your life and work. I thank you for your time that is used to learn and share knowledge.

If you can't be troubled, in this world of instant access to information, to know at least the name of the person you're voting for, you shouldn't cast a vote for that particular office or station.

Politicians lie to get into office

Sorry, but no. Party affiliation matters a great deal in Washington D.C.. Parties have platforms for a reason - their members will often vote party line, and are strongly encouraged, even strong-armed, to do so. Also, candidates receive funding from their parties in order to support their campaigns, but only if they demonstrate party and ideological loyalty. What that means is that politicians who can afford to get elected are almost certainly already in the fold. Finally, politicians from both parties routinely lie in order to get elected. Party and party platforms are often clearer indicators of how a politician will vote.

Democrats run the schools and shape the minds of the young.

Because the Democrats are good liars

Are you saying we should forget where we came from?Americans are refugees basically from white European ancestry and are the ones that founded and established this country after they decimated and annihilated the native inhabitants because of territory and a conflict of interests which is ironic as America forcefully took away the freedoms of Native Americans to establish what they call the land of the free. As time went on other racial groups were added as white Western Europeans expanded and took ownership because of superior technology and tactics over the indigenous peoples. Each racial group has its own ethnic customs and traditions. That’s what makes America great, right! They are free to practice the religion of their choice and their individual cultures as long as they are not harmful to the physical well-being of others. Is recognizing your Irish heritage and traditions harmful to others, of course not, is being Hungarian culturally harmful to others of course not, it’s only harmful when those in power force their will and agenda on the masses and that is when America stops being America and is no longer great. If your culture inculcates violence or hostility against the existence of other cultures and races, then it is harmful and dangerous.

@@charlesmorris6476 Americans are Americans. I was born in the US and will always be and American.

@@aso6437 yes me too, but I cannot forget my origins and where I came from that’s what culture is. America is a place where people are free to celebrate their culture and origins and America has developed its own unique culture, “out of many one“. Diversity is the spice of life and America provides that freedom for everyone except those who wish to destroy and divide one against another and try to force everyone into one mindset and looking at things one way, that never ends in any freedom or peace.

@@charlesmorris6476 Ok well what about the People who are from 3 or 4 ancestral backgrounds English/Irish/German/Spanish American? Ridiculous. The Indians Forcefully took the land away from Other Indian tribes before the settlers ever got here and during and after they got here - so the Settlers didn't do anything to them they themselves were not doing to one another.

@@jeanb.5405 yes no doubt that is true I agree.

Make sense. Is the “s” at the end just based on where people are from?

​@@TaySteph'S' plural form tense😁🍻👍🏽

​​​​@@TaySteph without the letter S how do you denote that there is more than one ? S just means plural You don't say I have 50 friend you say I have 50 friends did it make it racist to put an S on the end?

It's like the progressives calling Hispanic people Latin-x. They never stop.

You left out the most prominent one today I'll give you a hint it is only tolerated when it comes from their own.

@@user-pe3ld2is2o yes I agree

Are you sure it was black americans that keep changing the name or white people. Did anyone even ask the blacks if they wanted to be called African Americans? How about native Americans. They keep changing too.

Because we think if we cry for something it should be giving to us because of past history instead of using the life now and thank God that it's changed. we don't need handouts. we just need to open or eyes and press for the opportunities' in our face. it's called press not handed.
