[quote:Anonymous Coward 15916826:MV8yMTQ4NTE4XzM2MzA3NzAzX0U3MEM0OUI0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 34900904:MV8yMTQ4NTE4XzM2MzA2NDE1X0FEOEUwNEZD] If you notice, too, the conspiracy culture is only fueled by the far right when a democrat is in office. When a republican gets elected again, you won't hear very much about FEMA death camps anymore. They just fuel that speculation because to them it's super super scary that a black guy who thinks differently than them has access to the infrastructure FEMA has. The intelligent conservatives don't need conspiracy theories to voice their objections to the President; however, conspiracies grab the people who may be less intelligent or more psychologically prone to anxiety, paranoia, and fear. I think many of the white "racist" conspiracy theorists here really loved Bush and many of them probably voted for him, but would now deny having done so. I even have some white family members who were very excited about Bush back in 2000 and 2004, but now won't even admit they voted for anyone at all in 2000 and 2004. If the right wing conspiracy promoters out there have to use racism, fear, and malicious stories of tyranny and new world order takeovers to get Obama out of power, they will do it. Because it goes without saying they can't get a republican elected on that person's own merits. [/quote] I can see where you are coming from but there where plenty of conspiracy theories about Bush too. The FEMA thing came from a certain guy in Texas that loves Ron Paul while Bush was still in office. It does happen on both sides. We all need to band together regardless of race cause we are all human and call out those that would seek to divide us. [/quote]
Original Message
I consider myself an American. No hyphens. I am mostly conservative and I come from a mixed background. Black White and Cherokee. I've been into conspiracy culture since I was a kid. I have always wondered though why is there racism in conspiracy culture?
