No, that's not necessarily the case, and here's why. Let's say a random KKK member wanted to run for president. There's absolutely no way they're going to win the election because too many people on both sides of the political spectrum are against racism. So instead of outright showing affiliation with the KKK, a smarter campaign would be to pretend their racist history doesn't exist and even promise to help blacks and other races of color. After all, if you're a politician, promises mean absolutely jack, so it's not like you have to follow up on what you said. And if you run as a Democrat the media will protect you. Now the reason few of these people will run as Democrat today is because they hate Marxism. Marx himself was also racist, but anyone who knows a tiny bit about communism knows that the system actually hates whites too, because everyone suffers except the government, who gains pretty much everything.
Yeah it is. Several things are done to white people that would be totally racist if done to black people. And black people are allowed to have pride and do things that whites would be racist for doing. And unfortunately, this one doesn't fall on just the politicians. This is a problem in Hollywood, the media, and even real life. And I'm not one to really call things racist but if something is considered racist when one person does it but not when another does it, I'm going to call that out.
No, it doesn't count if they themselves haven't helped black America. If they have, then yes. But Obama was supposed to be a symbol of progression and opportunity for blacks and all he did was kill jobs and put blacks in even more poverty. (Now part of that was Barney Frank's fault, ppl ik were drastically affected by what he did, which he then proceeded to blame conservatives for after they had been opposing his idea for over a year). But still, that' doesn't fly as "helping the black community."
