(36,927 posts)The things you mentioned come from the very extreme and from people who are very much in the minority in this country.
Birthers?
Never polled higher than 20% as far as I know, and out of that 20%, how many are white supremacists and how many just hate any Democrat in the White House regardless of race?
So since as many as 20% of the population are dumber than a rock, this somehow means we are a White Supremacist Society? Still not sure how you connect the dots on that one. Clinton suffered a $100 million criminal investigation that failed to so much as indict him for a parking ticket. There are always going to be a good percentage of GOPhers who are going to try to usurp democracy in this country any way they can. You might as well get used to that because I don't see it changing anytime soon.
And what is the population rate of people who belong to white supremacist organizations?
.001% of the population?
So let's say their numbers doubled (which is certainly liberal), and now we have .002% of the population who belong to white supremacist organizations. That somehow makes us a white supremacist majority?
While I'll certainly give you that the percentage of bigots and racists in the GOP is high, I can't agree that the US is a "White Supremacist Society". Seems more than a bit over the top to me.
