    The only reason you are endorsing him is because he's black. Lets just be clear. - Former President and racist white supremacist Bill Clinton(D)

    I mean, you got the first mainstream African American [Barack Obama] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. - Sen. Joseph Biden(D)

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then Sen. Barack Obama as light skinned and with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.

    I'll have those Niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years. Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler's Book, Inside The White House

    These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, well lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) - Texas, 1957

    You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva. Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

    Mahatma Gandhi ran a gas station down in Saint Louis. - Senator Hillary Clinton

    I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a nigger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a nigger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America. - Harry Truman

    There are white Niggers. I've seen a lot of white Niggers in my time. - Former Klansman and US Senator Robert Byrd(D), a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the conscience of the Senate in March of 2001

    I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state.... The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities. - Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the conscience of the Senate, in a letter written in 1946, after he quit the KKK.

    There's some people who've gone over the state and said, Well, George Wallace has talked too strong about segregation. Now let me ask you this: how in the name of common sense can you be too strong about it? You're either for it or you're against it. There's not any middle ground as I know of. Democrat Alabama Governor George Wallace (1959)

    He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black. California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage

Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the conscience of the Senate, in a letter written in 1944, after he quit the KKK.

    The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him.

    Slavery was abolished last in the South, but that doesn't mean racial animus is a "Southern" thing. Where have the most "race" riots happened?

    Where else, but the Northern latitudes.

    Reconstruction after the Civil War does seem to be a hot spot for the South, but look at the other places.** Asterisks denote NORTHERN for you dumbass Nawthunuhs.

    There are an overwhelming number of "racial incidences" in the North, as opposed to the South. How can that be? California and South of Orlando
    SHOULD be counted as North. There aren't too many crackers left down and out there, respectively.

    Rudy Canoza: Racist Narcissist

    Bell's research, as well as subsequent studies by other psychologists, point to one potential psychological factor: narcissism.

    Racism is not only feeling bias or prejudice toward Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. It's a system of oppression that maintains and inflicts power over them, through schools, police departments, court systems, and health care.

    But in a 1980 paper published in the Journal of the National Medical Association, the late psychiatrist Carl C. Bell, M.D., CCHP, pondered, "What characteristics cause an individual to accommodate to racist views which are in direct opposition to the value of a democratic free society?"

    The concept of the "narcissistic racist" was recently brought to light again in a widely shared Instagram post by Jacquelyn Ogorchukwu Iyamah, a user experience designer focused on racial justice education and decolonizing wellness. To better understand the association between racism and narcissism, mbg looked into Bell's research and spoke with licensed psychologist Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., and psychoanalyst Babita Spinelli, L.P.
    How narcissism can fuel racism.

    According to Bell's 1980 study, many racist traits are also traits of narcissism. Further, "racist attitudes may be indicative of a narcissistic personality disorder." Bell describes three different types of racists??the narcissistic racist, the stress-induced racist, and the socially misinformed racist??all three of which may actually be linked back to narcissistic traits.

    1. The Narcissistic Racist

    "The narcissistic racist is a person whose racism is primarily a symptom of a narcissistic personality disorder," the study says. A personality disorder diagnosis does not, however, relieve anyone of the responsibility for their behavior, Bell notes.

    He describes various traits of narcissism that manifest into racism, including a grandiose sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, and a likelihood to respond to criticism with defensiveness or indifference. Many of these are rooted in the narcissist's need for control and power.

    "It is this need for a sense of absolute control which the racist feels justifies his self-given right to violate another's 'territory' by either a physical attack, segregation, or discrimination," the study says. "The 'territory' (in this country) being, for example, the individual's right to adequate health care, education, and housing wherever he can afford it." Advertisement

    It's important to note that not every person with narcissistic traits has narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and, in fact, most people have some level of narcissism. With that in mind, the stress-induced racist is someone who acts in response to stress, rather than NPD. The study describes this type of racism as "a transient form of narcissistic rage" and is usually a response to feeling wronged and seeking revenge at all costs. Even those who don't have NPD can display this type of narcissism-fueled racist behavior.

    "The main stressor that narcissists have to manage is the threat to their ego and sense of superiority," Durvasula explains. Anything that threatens their fragile egos and puts them in a vulnerable state (i.e., losing a job, marital issues, etc.) may cause them to react with victimhood, shame, and rage, she says. "They need someone to blame because they cannot take responsibility."

    A racist would take it out on people of different races, and a narcissist would attach false rhetorics to groups of people in order to justify their blame, Durvasula says.


    3. The socially misinformed racist

    Socially misinformed racists with NPD need the people leading their institutions to be direct reflections of themselves and their ideas. This can then justify their unempathetic feelings and behaviors. Bell cites research by psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut, who wrote of this type of racist narcissist: "They seem to combine an absolute certainty concerning the validity of their ideas with an equally absolute lack of empathic understanding for large segments of feelings, needs, and rights of other human beings and for the values cherished by them. They understand the environment in which they live only as an extension of their own narcissistic universe."

    Bell does note there's another type of socially misinformed racist that may not have NPD and instead is a product of systemic racism. They are socially misinformed at an early age, though with enough exposure to different people and cultures, Bell says they can start to unlearn their ignorant beliefs. Advertisement

    How narcissistic traits manifest as racism:


    Lack of empathy

    Empathy is threefold, according to Durvasula. "First is the classical emotional piece?the ability or desire to feel the other person and shape your responses and behavior accordingly," she says. Then, there's the cognitive piece?to understand what the other person is experiencing. Finally, the self-reflective capacity piece, which she describes as "the ability to understand and reflect on the impact of your behavior and words on other people."

    Narcissistic individuals lack all three aspects, and Durvasula says it is likely that racist individuals don't care about those around them and save the worst of their hatred for people who are different from them.

    Gaslighting

    Gaslighting is when a person denies another person's reality, Spinelli says. Examples of gaslighting can sound like It's not a big deal, or Just let it go.

    "This is similar to how a racist would dismiss the reality of racism and attempt to normalize racist practices," Spinelli explains.
    Other traits include:

    Insecurity
    Extreme sense of entitlement
    A need for power and control
    A superiority to others
    Tendency to bully and oppress others


    So can a narcissistic racist change?

    "A racist has the potential to process and recover from being a racist, if they take steps to face their racist stance and invest the time and effort to learn, grow, and take action to change," Spinelli says. "Narcissists, on the other hand, generally do not believe they need to change and refuse to change."

    In rare cases, both experts say a narcissist may change, but it takes several years of intense therapeutic work. This may help them understand their core traumas, attachment issues, and early dynamic issues that led them to be racist, Durvasula says, but most often they won't be willing or interested in discussing their emotions in therapy.

    Do not invest energy into changing the narcissist's view, Spinelli says.
    What does this mean for the efforts to end racism?

    If narcissists are hard to change, and narcissism and racism are linked, what does that mean for the efforts to end racism?

    As previously mentioned, it's important to recognize that not everybody with narcissistic traits has NPD. Most of us have some levels of narcissism within us, and if we can recognize how our internalized racism may be rooted in narcissism, it may provide insights into what type of inner work we need to be doing to heal our racism.

    But the connection between racism and NPD is also an important reminder that dismantling racism must go beyond individual-level change. The idea that racism is rooted in ignorance alone is too simple, Durvasula says. Since ignorance means a lack of education, that suggests people can seek more information and change their attitude. "That rarely happens," she says. Racism is deeper?it is privilege mixed with entitlement, contempt, fragility, shame, fear, arrogance, lack of empathy, hypersensitivity, and ignorance, she says.

    While self-reflection is a critical part of committing to anti-racism, Spinelli recommends focusing on efforts like educating, challenging normalized racism, dismantling systems that embolden racism, and working toward changing the policies and procedures that keep them in place.
