Why the fuck would you establish yourself as the racism party and then run a candidate racists will hate

[–] puppygirlpets@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

because a surprising number of the members believe the bullshit that they aren't actually racist and are just preserving the culture or whatever wank they claim this month

You've got to have a few PoC in the party to point at so you can claim to not be racist. Most people do see racism as bad even if they support racist policies. They just only see racism in the most cartoonish obvious way. So having a few tokens around alleviates their guilt of being racist.
