Racist ‘Replacement’ Rhetoric is Deadly and Republicans Must Stop Using It
These evil actions were motivated by a racist ideology known as the Great Replacement Theory. That should cause some serious reflection among Republicans who are trying to build power with their own versions of racist “replacement” rhetoric. In 1869, this Black Republican gave a speech called “Our Composite Nation.”He promoted a vision of a country that welcomed and was strengthened by diversity. Unfortunately, millions of Americans are hearing variations of the replacement rhetoric from irresponsible politicians and cable TV personalities. It seems that the Republican Party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, is acting more like the old Democratic Party did after the Civil War.
