So Reagan signed the Voting Rights Act extension but was a racist anyway. But liberal Democrat Jimmy Carter wasn't a racist despite supporting ethnic purity in neighborhoods. Who said Carter is not a racist. The statement that is alleged he made suggests he was a racist. But he didn't try to prevent blacks from getting ahead as it appears Reagan did. Let's see - it goes like this: conservative = racist; liberal = not racist. No matter what the conservative and liberal does. Most people are racist to one degree or another.....however, you want your leaders to be as hte least racist as possible, and if not in mind, in practice. As for the GOP = racist......why did the Dixiecrat Dems jump to the GOP when the Dems came out in support of civil rights? And there is little reason to believe that not much has changed in the GOP over the past 50 years.

"So Reagan signed the Voting Rights Act extension but was a racist anyway." No. Ok, I guess logic isn't one of your strengths. That is ok, some people are just that way. Being opposed to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which Reagan was a very vocal opponent of, doesn't make you racist. It might make you a political opportunist, though. Or, it could mean that you don't see it as important legislation. Or something else. Or, it might make you racist. But that certainly isn't the only option. "Let's see - it goes like this: conservative = racist; liberal = not racist. No matter what the conservative and liberal does." No. It just means you are mindlessly binary in your thinking. Hopefully you know this when you aren't presenting intellectually dishonest arguments.
