Those damn minorities voting for Trump. What do you think we should do with them? Follow the example of the National Socialists, the Union of Soviet Socialists, or the United Socialists???
 
Do you really think Iowa is much better?

And there's a lot more to why the South votes red than race.

I'd like to think Iowa is better than that, but the past 2 election cycles have shown otherwise. The tail (the west & small towns) wags the dog (the east & larger metros).

As far as the South going red, it's called the Bible Belt for a reason.

how ironic that the Bible is associated with hate, racism and violence. The Bible Belt voted for a guy who lies, cheats and puts kids in cages
 
Back in the 90s had a supervisor who went down South for convention. She was shocked how rude and bigoted some of the white people from the South were to the black people working at the place.

You my friend need to stop, take a look at yourself and move on. Don't blame racism for everything even though it is obvious that is your default position. Why not realize the left is moving way to fast to the socialist agenda for most Americans, it has nothing to do with race.

Are you done virtue signaling? Or are you just going to continue to paint groups of people with a broad brush? There are racists and ignorant people everywhere. Comments like yours aren't exactly shining you in a positive light.

this is absolutely ridiculous. You’re joking right
 
Really?,.. southern racism?,... OP, your narrative is overly simple and outdated...

Go check the wrestling and football board threads on kneeling for reference in Iowa racism. Some of the stuff in there is disgusting.

oh yeah. Ive seen it. Its amazing how many of the Iowa fans cheer for the Black players but also hate them because they’re Black. Truly amazing. And are surprised when the Black players say how racist Iowa is

1000%.

Lots of racist hawk fans who never went to the UI. Several on this board.
 
There are racist people everywhere. I was born in PA and most of my extended family still lives there. Some of the more racist people I've ever encountered live there. With that said, part of the culture shock for me when I moved from the Florida Keys to "the south" was how open some people were with racist views whereas in other areas of the country they might whisper their racist comments or look around first to make sure nobody was listening.

I also feel the need to say that not all republicans (or Trump supporters) are racist. Believing all (or even most) southern people are racist or that all Trump supporters are racist is just another form of bigotry.

South sure seems to love flying the confederate battle flag which has symbolized oppression of black people for 150 years.

Maybe it's time we get over that then,.. A symbol can only be oppressive if you allow yourself to be oppressed by it,.. Today, most people see the confederate flag as little more than a redneck tailgate banner...

No. I see it as a symbol of a war in which Iowa lost more men per capita than any state. We literally have war dead in our cemeteries all over the state and rednecks here fly that flag....Its beyond disrespectful. Its akin to flying the Nazi flag at Arlington.

Don't think that is how black people feel.

Symbols have meaning are important. That's why you don't bring a swastika in a Jewish cemetary.

At some point you simply have to let people move on,.. I'm a Catholic, I've traveled to Rome and visited the Colosseum where many of my kind were executed for public entertainment,.. Had a great time, Italians are nice and the food was fantastic,.. get over it.

A better comparison would be if the Romans had executed your grandparents and were still an ongoing problem for you today.
