White trash racists now feel liberated. They want to be loud and proud. They go over the top touting everything and anything Trump. These same people would never be as fervent about a candidate like John McCain or Mitt Romney. Those two are not as much "true American" wink, wink. Originally Posted by Cap'n Crunch

Interesting comment. When, IYO, did we stop being a great country and what were the events that caused this? End of the Andrew Jackson presidency? The end of Reconstruction? The New Deal? Passing the Civil Rights Act? Internment of Japanese Americans? Ending Prohibition? The Death of Edward Murrow? Disavowal of the KKK? Allowing same sex marriages? Having a black man elected President?Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.
You kinda just come off as a hater, in general. Originally Posted by EagleEye
Austin Ellen, Why do you feel I was referring to you, when you hadn't even posted in this thread? I mean, If you want to lump yourself in with that group, go right ahead. The post you were horrified by is my general statement about a segment of Trump's supporters.
Of course, not all Trump supporters are racist. Many Trump supporters believe in him yet still admit being troubled by many of his words and actions. But there are plenty of yahoos singing unabashed do-no-wrong praise of Trump, on forums throughout the country, who are truly, truly racist.
No Presidential candidate in modern times, not even George Wallace, has brought such a sense of power to white racists in this country. You either get it or you don't. You either condemn and fight against racism or you are part of the problem.

What is it about voting for a particular presidential candidate makes a voter racist? ..... and as for the white trash that Cap'n Crunch speaks of, weren't they the ones doing the marching on election day? .....

It is the way in which a person supports him (or her) that can lead one to believe they may indeed be racist, whether openly or subconsciously.

Can you explain in detail why these events caused the demise? At first glance, they seem to relate to racial issues. Do you think Jim Crow laws should still be in place? Do you think we are no longer a great country because we are less white?
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (H.R. 2580; Pub.L. 89–236, 79 Stat. 911, enacted June 30, 1968), also known as the Hart–Celler Act,[1] changed the way quotas were allocated by ending the National Origins Formula that had been in place in the United States since the Emergency Quota Act of 1921. Representative Emanuel Celler of New York proposed the bill, Senator Philip Hart of Michigan co-sponsored it, and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts helped to promote it.
The Hart–Celler Act abolished the quota system based on national origins that had been American immigration policy since the 1920s. The new law maintained the per-country limits, but it also created preference visa categories that focused on immigrants' skills and family relationships with citizens or U.S. residents. The bill set numerical restrictions on visas at 170,000 per year, with a per-country-of-origin quota. However, immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and "special immigrants" had no restrictions.[1] Originally Posted by DSK
