Can you morally call yourself a Christian if you vote conservative.

So you're saying that we didn't have slaves in America until after the American Revolution?

A political view is not something which needs a standardization. The democratic party today ultimately traces back to slavery, it is just that simple.

 

[Crowns&Laurels]

Wrong. Most blacks were actually Republicans from the time following the Civil War until the 1950s. You need to learn your history.

Republicans abolished slavery. YOU need to learn your history

Republicans abolished slavery. YOU need to learn your history

Yes Republicans abolished slavery. That is why most blacks became Republicans after the Civil War.

Again, you really need to learn your history.

I live in a pretty bad, underprivileged neighborhood. I would love for you to come here and ask them how they feel about Republicanism.

And if you had read my earlier post you would know that I said that the majority of blacks were Republicans from after the Civil War until the 1950s.

Again, you need to learn your history.

I can count the number of black republicans with my fingers.

And you should be proud of it.

Here's the thing Crowns&Laurels: Since blacks overwhelmingly voted Republican until the 1930s, either:

a) the Republican Party was liberal before then, in which case I doubt slavers would've been liberals (the Republican Party was, in fact, incredibly unpopular among Southern whites until the 1960s)

or

b) blacks weren't liberal before then, in which case you can't say they learned liberalism from the slavers.

And you should be proud of it.

If I would be so petty as to be racist, I wouldn't say all that I say, and live by what I live.

I don't think you're racist.

 

[Crowns&Laurels]

I don't think you're racist.

Alright, I'll throw out a bone.
Liberal and conservative ideology has almost switched places in today's age. The fact, however, is not due to the belief, but to the lineage- Liberals have their trace back to slavery, much unlike most Republicans.

I don't know what that means.

Do you mean most liberals are descended from slaves? Considering most liberals are white, I don't think that's true, unless you go back a long time in the past (in which case most conservatives would also be descended from slaves).

 

[Crowns&Laurels]

Considering most liberals are white

The overwhelming majority of black ppl are liberal.

I say not cause you go against Christs values but it will interesting to see what others think.

No Christian has Christ's worldview if his view is in line with any worldly political viewpoint. The House of Christ is a house of uncut stones built on the foundation of the Uncut Stone and capped by the Uncut Stone. That House of Uncut Stones does not fit the design of any worldly view. If any Christian has a worldview that fits the design of any worldly worldview, that Christian does not have Christ's world view.

The overwhelming majority of black ppl are liberal.

Correct.

90-95% of blacks in the US will vote for the democrat in presidential elections, but the white vote is fairly equal amongst whites in the same regard. Why do you think that is?

In some things.

 

[Crowns&Laurels]

Correct.

I think of the South, and the North, and how they are probably equal in number. And then I draw my conclusion.

 

[RDKirk]

Correct.

Because Republican rhetoric does not distinguish between racist right wing and mere social conservatives, or between fiscal Darwinists and Libertarians.

"What must I do to be saved???"

"Believe and be baptized and vote for a liberal."

Since when did politics have anything to do with being a Christian? And how are conservatives going against the values of Jesus? I'm a bit late to the party so perhaps someone else has mentioned this.

What is a fiscal darwinist?
