Comments on: RACISM – THROUGH FOREIGN EYES https://myhonestopinionblog.com/racism-through-foreign-eyes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=racism-through-foreign-eyes Common sense opinion relating to current and recurring issues Mon, 13 Oct 2025 07:29:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Jorg https://myhonestopinionblog.com/racism-through-foreign-eyes/comment-page-1/#comment-7176 Sun, 29 Jan 2023 17:05:06 +0000 http://myhonestopinionblog.com/?p=1997#comment-7176 In reply to Ray Fowler.

This comment missed my point completely, which was to show my personal experience and how incredibly stupid racists can be, when in desperate need to have someone to look down on, – imaginary if necessary.
This happens all the time, especially when it is important for someone to downplay the race issue, which seems to be particularly important for Trump voters, whose great appeal is exactly that, namely racism, still prevalent within the Republican party, and in some respect a leftover from the pre-Civil War, when the then so-called Southern Democrats were the most racist. Since then, the R-D platforms and ideology have switched and pretty much changed 180°, – a fact less than popular among some Republicans. Since they have no program, no platform, and nothing to offer but trouble and chaos, they like to blame today’s Democrats for the past sins of the Southerners way back when. Anything religious about the sick idea of passing sins from generation to generation, by any chance?

Jorg, your understanding of American history is woefully deficient. You have made claims in the past that the two major American political parties switched platforms. I sent you a rebuttal with many, many facts to debunk your claim. Did you offer any factual information to support your position? No.

Let’s look at just one example… you want to suggest that things changed with respect to racism in America with FDR’s social programs. FDR’s administration codified red-lining to keep Blacks from buying homes in White neighborhoods, FDR’s New Deal work programs paid Black workers less than White workers for the same jobs, and FDR did not endorse anti-lynching legislation because he did not want to lose political support from fellow Democrats. All this was known to you before you posted today your view on racism in America.

Oh, yes… one more tidbit re: FDR… he did not congratulate 4-time gold medalist US Olympic athlete Jesse Owens in 1936, however, FDR did invite the 1936 White Olympic team members to the White House. You can consult with your “Miss Google” to confirm these facts.

It will take courage to print my comments without censoring them. I welcome any challenge on this topic from you or any others who read your blog.
