I'm sure all of these answers are in your textbooks and/or class notes. If not, this site will HELP you. http://www.ushistory.org/us/index.asp AFTER you've done YOUR work, I'm positive someone will correct it for you. THAT is HELP.

You need to be doing your own homework. Grab your history book, poli-sci book, lecture notes, search the web for reputable sources (i.e. not yahoo answers), etc. and study hard. You could always form a study group if you are wanting to bounce ideas and solutions off each other. Additionally, it's just as important to know why the wrong answers are wrong as to know why the right answer is right

Can LIBERALS be RACIST?
Can LIBERALS be RACIST?
"After a lengthy critique of Bush administration education policies, Joe Biden attempted to explain why some schools perform better than others -- in Iowa, for instance, compared with the District of Columbia. "There's less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5 percent that are minorities. What is in Washington D.C.? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/24/AR2007102402716.html?nav=rss_print/asection Democrats - pretend a Republican said this. How would you respond? Just curious....... NOTE: I don't think Biden's comments are Racist. Biden, I believe, was speaking to the socioeconomic relalities of D.C. I just know if a Republican made these comments CNN & MSNBC would devote hours to it.

liberals are racist against their own race and wellbeing.

Ahhhh, hahahaha, its about time the truth comes out

Very much so. Anyone can be regardless of their political/ideological identity. I frequently observe some (NOT ALL) bigoted liberals here refer to conservatives as trailer park trash (even though they are supposedly rich corporate execs too) making fun of NASCAR fans etc. Oh, and lets not get started on the hate/blame whitey crowd. Then you of course have: Black Caucus: Whites Not Allowed http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=4AF8124E-3048-5C12-006558D2C4DED716 and Cynthia McKinney - Told a Saudi prince she would accept his offer of $10 million that New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani rejected because it came with anti-Semitic strings attached - "She is a racist. She bases everything on race. Everything bad that has ever happened to her is because she's black. She's anti-Semitic, that's who she is." -- Rep. Tom Delay (R-Texas) -Her hatred of Jews and the Bush Administration also apparently includes a hatred of white people here and abroad. Of Marxist President Robert Mugabe's racist policy of confiscating all white farms in Zimbabwe, McKinney said: "To any honest observer, Zimbabwe's sin is that it has taken the position to right a wrong, whose resolution has been too long overdue — to return its land to its people." http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1508

Yeah, look at Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. http://truewordtoday.blogspot.com
5 :
Of course. My personal philsophy comes from post-modern philosophers in stating that we are essentially racist, however, some people come to terms with it better than others.
6 :
Well, I'm sure he meant it in a nice, paternalistic way...
7 :
Yes, if by racist you mean it in the true sense of discriminating against someone on the basis of their race (which, by the way, does include white people and men). If, though, you mean racist in the context of simple facts that tend to disfavor "minorities," then they're perfectly in the clear. It really sends shivers up my spine.
8 :
Liberals are ALLOWED to be racist because theyre racist EQUALLY.
9 :
Prejudice and bigotry are generally not 100% correlated to political leanings
10 :
Democrat liberals ARE racist! You know who voted against the Civil Rights act in '64??? DEMS! (Inlcuding Al Gore SR) They are always trolling out billions in entitlement programs because they think blacks can't take care of themselves.
11 :
anyone can be racist, political party affiliation doesnt make you, or not make you racist. There just happen to be more racist conservatives than liberals because conservatives are descendants of the white christian male supremacy movement. But, racism has no boundaries.
12 :
I think racism is what it is...racism. It doesn't matter what political view you have.
13 :
Absolutley. Just read the Jena 6 story.
14 :
Rather a democrat or republican said this I would think the same thing: It was a racist comment, but I don't think it was meant to be. I think he was trying to say that minorities, in general, live in more poverty, which would effect school performance. He should have said that though. he should have said that economic level was the factor, and not said minorities.
15 :
Liberals are VERY racist. They NEED the race card to survive. I think he was just stating a fact. THAT, in of itself, is RACIST to those who don't want to hear it.
16 :
Joe has a history of sticking his foot in his mouth, so this is no surprise and why he won't win the nomination or even be nominated for VP. And yes, Liberals can be racist, even if it is implicit. edit: Well, I expect that Biden's comments will fill up most of the evening on Fox News, and doubt that I will be disappointed by their coverage.
17 :
Not wits that are associated with Biden's head; it's the fake sod that crowns it that has people talking.
18 :
No. Never. LOL
19 :
Liberals are some of the most racist people I know. Please note how Hillary talks when she is in front of a group of blacks compare to that when she is in front of group of whites. Can you imagine the out rage if lets say Hillary is president and has a black Sec of State and Rush was to call her a house slave. Tell me there would be crys from coast to coast for his head. Yet that is allow to be said about Rice. Go figure.

like this: - James D. Watson, 79, “lifelong Democrat� and co-discoverer of the DNA helix and winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in medicine, told the Sunday Times of London that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours — whereas all the testing says not really." He recognized that the prevailing belief was that all human groups are equal, but that "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true." “I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.� Liberal USA Today columnist Julianne Malveaux on Clarence Thomas “Blacks and Hispanics were too busy eating watermelons and tacos to read the fine print on the phony insurance policies.� Mike Wallace, of 60 Minutes fame - Garry Trudeau, of the out dated, boring Dunesbury (wonder if he’s still wearing platform shoes and into disco?), caricatured Condi Rice and put a label under her calling her “Brown Sugar.� Nice touch there, Garry. All you need now is a white robe with one of those pointy little hoods. - Lib racist Pat Oliphant incredibly pictured Rice as a big-lipped parrot in one of his “cartoon� (yes, everyone finds racism “real� funny, Pat). . - But, as they say in the commercials: Wait, there’s more… Jeff Danziger has shown Rice as the servant in Gone with the Wind (frankly Jeff, to paraphrase Clark Gable - and as shown in the last few elections - no one gives a damn about anything you liberals have to say) - Ted Rall referred to Condi as the president’s ‘House N-word’… however, Jesse Jackson has, insofar as I know, not had– for the first time ever that I can remember - any protest to lodge over this. - Finally, one upping the former DEMOCRAT Gov. of Alabama, George Wallace, John Sylvester, in P.C.

Gov. Michael S. Steele, a black Republican also gets the usual lib hatred, including Democrats who have thrown Oreo cookies at him during campaign stops, and then of course the usual litany of “lib dirty tricks,� such as personal credit checks on Steele's financial history and records - simply because he had the temerity to leave the lib socialist nanny state plantation

sure - no need to pretend. send bush a e-mail telling him to get out of San Diego. we don't need or want him here.

Can CONSERVATIVES be RACIST? It works both ways, you know. You just conveniently forgot to mention it, I guess.
23 :
Of course they can be racist
24 :
Ummm, actually they did bring it up a couple times on MSNBC today, and I'm pretty sure Fox is going to just eat it up, so don't worry about media coverage. Biden's "clean and articulate" comment made the news for a while. To answer your question: Al "White interlopers" Sharpton and Jesse "Himeytown" Jackson. On your other question, if the Republican clarified afterwards and went on about socioeconomics and was really sincere about it all just being a poor choice of grammar, then it's O.K. by my standards, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Since this is a hypothetical, I don't know how the media would react. My predictions would be that the media picks it up for a while, a couple of TV specials on racism are aired, and Fox defends the subject like they were Christ and blames liberals as always or something.
