The parties flipped with Reagan, I mean Nixon, I mean Goldwater, I mean Roosevelt, I mean Hoover, I mean the other Roosevelt, I mean Taft.
^ Actual conversations I've had.
At some point, some how, some way, the Democrats stopped being the racialist party despite obsessing over it since Andrew Jackson, and somehow the Republicans became racialist, despite never obsessing over it on any platform, even under Lincoln.
The Dems have always been the racialist carrot & stick party. It's mostly carrot now, vs. stick, but once you envision it this way, there's no going back on the plantation.
Everyone was "racialist" until very recently. Hell I'd argue everyone is still that way, it's just had to go underground for the most part.
No one was a racialist until the 20th century. Fucking Nationalism is a modern concept. If they were anything they were theocrats, monarchists, and imperials.
Race was never a concept for political organization because it wouldn't make sense. There was no Finnish-Portuguese White Brotherhood Alliance of 1324 because that's retarded and doesn't make sense. At no point did Europe stop fighting wars with each other, in order to came together to form an international race-based socialist government. There was no White Commintern. People that don't have the same language, culture, religion, ethnic groups, economic interdependence, shared history, sense of self-identification, or geographical continuity are NOT going to form a political body.
Racialism is a modern, leftist, political construct that replaces the bourgeoise & proletariat with oppressor race and oppressed race.
Explain the wording of the immigration policy of this nation at its founding you filthy fucking liar.
Only in so far as nation and country (and religion too for a while) were synonymous throughout the overwhelming majority of human history.
Germans and Catholics were only debatably White.
Is that the definition you are using?
Absolutely not. Remember, most people lived under monarchies. Nations existed both without states, and between states. Feudalism didn't take nations of people into account. Hell, the Hapsburgs personally owned multiple states, and their subjects were many peoples and many religions. A state was claimed by inheritance from family, not whether or not a nation of people existed from it.
