How many minorities have been the Prime Minister of Canada?
I know a few Canadians, and they always love to say how they are race-free and Americans and disgusting and racist and blah blah blah. Can you tell me how many blacks have been prime minister of Canada? How many women have been? How many have been close? How many blacks or women have been Minister of Foreign Affairs? How many Attorney Generals have been Hispanic, black, asian, or females? I'm just curious if Canada's immense tolerance and lack of racism is all talk or not.
Of all the societies in history, which was the most tolerant of minorities in its midst?
Regarding the references to book authors, I assume that the correct spellings are * Dinesh D'Souza * John Gardner Wilkinson I couldn't find much online for Wilkinson, though he was famous in his day. I've heard of D'Souza and found him persuasive.
How come minorities usually don't vote Republican?
For 100 years after the Civil War, blacks voted almost 100% Republican because Lincoln was a Republican, and Democrats were dominated by the south, where blacks were segregated and lynched by the southern Democrats. But by 1964, the growth of northern urban areas caused the northern liberal Democrats to gain power and eventually dominate the party. This transition occurred over the 30 year period from 1930 to 1960, during the FDR/Truman years. In 1964, a total change over of the Democratic Party occurred, as the Kennedy/LBJ liberals took over. They purchased the black vote with welfare money and other government assistance programs. Blacks turned around and backstabbed the Republicans by voting against them in favor of getting free money from the Democrats. So of course, blacks had to invent an excuse for their deplorable actions. Thus the myth was born that the parties had magically switched places overnight, and now somehow Republicans were the ones who had segregated and lynched blacks for 100 years, and the Democrats astonishingly became the party of Lincoln. People would say with a straight face things like, "Lincoln would be a Democrat today, because Democrats do more to help the blacks." Do more what.... keeping blacks in poverty in the ghetto, having children out of wedlock to get more welfare money, spending all day hanging around with nothing to do, getting addicted to drugs and infected with STD's..... yes, if this is doing more for blacks, they might have done better to stay with the Republicans.
