I would say the exact same things I'm saying to you to the people chanting racism. That's counter-productive to progress.
My problem with you saying it is that you need to spend more time combating and speaking against real racism within your own party. There is no equivalency. The Republican Party is racist, the Democratic Party is not.

You've posted before about the history of racism black people have faced in SF. If you believe they're wrong for saying this is another chapter that's your right but I don't I think all people share the idea that one being a democrat means they aren't or can't be racist

nobody is claiming the democrat party is racist,
YOU are racist, individuals are racist, not the republican party.
You are racist by your very words, the bottom of the scum bucket is what you are, adding nothing to unity, freedom, or the American way
own it
He's a fraud just like the rest of them. Just because he doesn't spew nigga lover, doesn't mean he doesn't support those who do.

to me the ones who know how damaging and evil racism is and then support its power increasing are worse than the stupid ones who actually believe in it

.. although I disagree with your assessment of Nixon.Bill Clinton was the greatest jailer of black males .. BY FAR. Did you vote for Bill Clinton?
Nixon, who was the only president to live in public housing, tried repeatedly to pass a health care plan far better than Obamacare.
In 1956, as vice president, Nixon went to Harlem to declare, “America can’t afford the cost of segregation.” The following year, Nixon got a personal letter from Dr. King thanking him for helping to persuade the Senate to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Nixon supported the civil rights acts of 1964, 1965, and 1968.
Nixon called out segregationist candidates in ’66 and called on LBJ, Hubert Humphrey, and Bobby Kennedy to join him in repudiating them. None did. Hubert, an arm around Lester Maddox, called him a “good Democrat.” And so were they all—good Democrats. While Adlai chose Sparkman, Nixon chose Spiro Agnew, the first governor south of the Mason Dixon Line to enact an open-housing law.
In Nixon’s presidency, the civil rights enforcement budget rose 800 percent. Record numbers of blacks were appointed to federal office. An Office of Minority Business Enterprise was created. SBA loans to minorities soared 1,000 percent. Aid to black colleges doubled.
When LBJ left office, 10 percent of Southern schools were desegregated. When Nixon left, the figure was 70 percent.
How a Republican Desegregated Southern Schools.

That republican was Richard Nixon.
Not exactly the hallmark of a racist.
We could have a similar discussion about George Bush .. who also is not a racist.

what was it the country was clamouring for at the time?
an end to gangs and violence
there was a prominate study at the time that promoted the idea of the fix that was then voted into law
signed By the president because the VAST majority of Amercians wanted signed

I've never said that being a democrat means that you're not a racist .. but that is FAR more likely if you belong to a virtually all white party.
Every tine you say this, your argument falls apart under its own weight.

Bill Clinton did it for the politics.
He was the greatest jailer of African-Americans since slavery.
Now you know why African-American voters were so hesitant about voting for Hillary.

I remember watching it pass and was against it
three strikes should have been for ONLY violent crime
the VAST majority of voters ASSUMED it was
I swear if everyone knew that one fact it would have nit been passed as written
but the BIG impact was state laws mimicking the fed law

To each his own. You can think they aren't racist, that's your prerogative.
I go by how they governed.
Yes I voted for Clinton, because there is no way on this earth would I ever vote for a republican. I won't intentionally support their racist behaviors.
As for Bush, I don't believe for 1 second he did anything to support Africans and aids.....please spare me the articles regarding the issue, I've seen them all.

2. Why was it passed and who supported it?
At the time, violent crime was seen as out of control in the US. Starting in 1987, the homicide rate in the US was increasing by 5% each year, peaking in 1991 with 9.8 deaths per every 100,000 people. Many of those victims were young African Americans. Robbery and assault rates had exploded beginning in the late 1960s, and the crack cocaine epidemic was devastating the nation's urban centres.
The bill had bipartisan support, and easily passed both the House and Senate. The Clintons have pointed out that both black politicians and community leaders backed the law, and in general supported increased law enforcement in order to help quell street violence destroying communities.
But a recent New York Times op-ed calls this a "selective hearing" of what African American leaders were asking for and points out that members of the Congressional Black Caucus asked for provisions in the bill that were left out.
"Policy makers pointed to black support for greater punishment and surveillance, without recognizing accompanying demands to redirect power and economic resources to low-income minority communities," according to the piece, written by three Ivy League professors of history and African American studies. "When blacks ask for better policing, legislators tend to hear more instead."

It's in our papers every week if not a daily basis and that's the battle over housing in California and zoning laws and well to do largely white communities fighting to avoid new housing which would possibly bring in "people of lessor means". That's not someone dropping the n word but it has major repercussions on where people can live. And if you believe the research that says poor minorities are hurt by being put in low performing largely minority schools well here is a big part of where it starts.
This is major policy with major implications. And it's happening in liberal California. Let's be real here, London Breed is a progressive. The only reason she is deemed a "moderate" is because she's not 100% against new market rate development. (Which means she at least has a modicum of understanding of how markets work). There's a reason progressives don't win the Mayor's office in SF because even some Democrats in SF know the City can't pay for affordable housing for everyone and rents don't come down when you don't build new product.
So today's housing decisions are being on zoning codes with racist pasts in well to do liberal dominated cities. Subjects like this aren't sexy to talk about but they have very real effects on people's day to day lives.

With all due respect sister, you can believe or disbelieve whatever you want, but Bush has saved millions of African lives .. don't believe me .. ask Africans, or research PEPFAR ... if you really want to know the truth.
I voted for Hillary for the same reason you voted for Bill. I didn't vote for Bill.
It wasn't just Clinton....it was the entire republican party and some dems who went along with it.
Americans were convinced that Black males were danger to society thanks to Nixon, Reagan and the rest of the bunch who spewed the propaganda americans slopped up.
Three strikes is and always has been a rightwing republican issue.
The right blames Clinton, perfect scapegoat for what they have always advocated for.
