Also yes, 'positive' racism in the black community gives him votes from there. Is that really a surprise?

There is no such thing as positive racism.

You are either racist, or your not. To look at any group of people, and think due to a race trait something is better or worse about a person, is equally bad.

 

EDIT: I just realized you might not be implying that it's a good thing. If that's the case, I apologize.

I wasn't implying it was a good thing. Also are you dropping the accusation that I was stereotyping the entire far right as racist?

 

@Sqrl. What was your point again? I seem to have missed it.

Well not exactly.  You did commit a fallacy by assuming that all the far right ideologiy is built upon an element of racism.  That is obviously a haste generalization.  But you did not, in your wording, generalize that everyone in the far right is racist.  Where they are getting that from is not true at all.  You wouldn't have said elements... you would have said people.  Meaning they had a straw man argument. 

 

All that we do know about the far right is it has been moving slowly with racist nationalism and because of that there is a minority in it that have been using that nationalism as something to weed out races as American or not... as I explained.  It's not the far right ideology as a whole or the far right people as a whole... but simply how the ideology has pushed a few into associating extreme nationalism with race.
