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.

@Step one. I don't really care about the party history of America. I care about the fact that some elements of the far right has a history of racism, the ultra-conservatives. I also know that some extreme elements of the far-left have a history of racism (ie. Black Panthers) but that still doesn't take away from what I have said.

@Step two. I think I've held multiple arguments on this forum about the legitimate concerns that you, Mafoo and others have about Obama. I don't see how you can claim that I never actually address the concerns. In fact in all those debates I don't think I ever bring up racism, I think the only time I have talked about racism against Obama is in topics about racism against Obama. (Oh and now that I think about it I may have mentioned it in some election topics too).

Edit: @Zucas. I never said that the far right was built upon racism. Don't put words into my mouth.

Because Democrats have had VERY high levels of support among african americans for the past few decades?

also I'm sick and tired of conservatives acting like racism doesn't exist there is a very large undercurrent of racism in the south.  It just isnt very overt.

While i don't care about Kanye West (as i had absolutly no idea that he exists before forum thread here)

The idea is definitly not abstract becouse in western europe and us tolerance has been changed into minority rule long time ago (especially for homosexuals, black people and muslims).

I kind of thought it was obvious really, but I don't mind being blunt.

Liberals have perfected the art of exploiting racial tension to reap political gain. 

Strangely where I come from it is usually the conservatives who play the race card for political gain.

In recent memory particularly Don Brash who vowed 'one law for all' realising that a fairly large group of whites were upset with the amount of 'handouts' being given to the Maori.

I don't think Kanye is racist, he loves attention, that's all.

@ sqrl

How do exploit reality? Racism is as real as ever, it just not in your face as it used to be.

The same could be said of Smallpocks.

While racism still exists.  Studies tend to show that when wealth is accounted for... everybody tends to end up in the same place.  Race isn't something that is going to largely effect someone being successful outside of a few fringe examples.

Most people who are racist by in large have no power.  In part this may explain actually why they are racist.

Yo, CommunistHater, I know you're making a topic, and I'ma let you finish. But Kanye West has interrupted some of the best singers of all time.
