That awkward moment when you find out this is false but believe it anyway because the internet is always true.

[–]FunkEnet 135 points136 points ago

Yup, here is the snopes article on it. Apparently, yes it is a racist catch-phrase but no it is not Romney's motto.

[–]DankBeard 3 points4 points ago

How is it racist?

[–]Thomsenite 39 points40 points ago

It's not inherently, but I think they are saying racist groups use it as their motto.

[–]J7x 11 points12 points ago

The exact term on it's own isn't necessarily racist, but it is a slogan used by racist organizations. Thus making it a "racist slogan."

EDIT: Haha I didn't say it was racist! In fact, I clearly said the term on its own wasn't racist. I even used quote marks to show it's only deemed racist due to it's use by certain organizations. The words itself aren't racist, they just have a link and preconception because of that.

It would be the same if Romneys slogan was "AMERICA: Home of the Whopper" only instead of the racist link, people would claim he was advertising burger king.

To all the people saying that the KKK also use air and roads.. Okay, how about if Romney came out to do a speech dressed in a white robe and hood? That'd be fine right? Just using one absurd example against another.

2nd EDIT: If I was American I would vote for anyone with the slogan "AMERICA: Home of the Whopper." Hell, I'd vote for a prime minister in the UK with that slogan.

[–]Oscar_Wilde_Ride 6 points7 points ago

Of course not, but you've set up a ginormous strawman. You might as well have said, "So if a racist breathes, is breathing racist?" The comparison is unjust.

Now, if an organization called itself The Third Reich (or even the Fourth Reich) I think you would see how that would be racist. It's just words, they just mean things, but there is a subtext to them that is imbued with meaning.

A racist slogan, once thrust into the common discourse retains is imbued with more meaning that the direct words. If this is indeed a racist slogan (I'm not familiar with it), then it is a racist slogan. That same imbuing does not occur for absolutely anything a racist organization comes in contact with.

[–]redditlovesfish 1 point2 points ago

yes

[–]kencole54321 2 points3 points ago

So if the Nazi's use a Swastika, the Swastika is a "racist symbol"?

I'll see your strawman argument and call with an equally convincing one for the other side.

[–]malvoliosf 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure if zimzalbim is making the same point or the opposite one, but I'll answer there.

[–]Able_Seacat_Simon -2 points-1 points ago

the Swastika is a "racist symbol"?

yes

[–]kencole54321 0 points1 point ago

That's my point.

[–]zimzalabim 1 point2 points ago

That isn't really an appropriate analogy. A Ford is not a sign or symbol, nor does it convey any inherent meaning, on the other hand a motto is symbolic as it is a representation of certain ideas and concepts which it is intended to communicate. A more appropriate analogy would be the use of the swastika; the swastika was originally intended to convey the meaning of peace and existed well in advance of Nazism. The symbol was then used by the Nazis and as a result it developed a new meaning divorced from the original meaning it was intended to convey. That is to say that though a swastika is not necessarily a racist symbol, as it can be used in a quite opposite context to its more modern use, it is best to avoid using signs and symbols such as the swastika in its original context or "Keep America, American" as they can convey meanings that are unintended.

[–]malvoliosf 0 points1 point ago

A car would be an unintentional symbol, if a symbol at all.

A swastika would be an intentional symbol, but one could argue that it is misappropriated.

A slogan has its own independent semantic content, so if it's adopted (or coined) by racists, on the one hand you have to ask yourself, why would they even use the phrase if they didn't at all suspect that its meaning would support their distasteful ideology?

On the other hand, the phrase does have meaning, it has independent semantic ballast. Even if some morons choose to misuse a statement or misunderstand it, well, that's why we call them morons.

Personally, I reject the phrase not because of its association but because of its inherent implications: those people who are Americans now have some special privileges or special qualities over those who wish to be American.

    [–]FunkEnet 12 points13 points ago

    It is a catch-phrase used by racists, so sorry.

    [–]DankBeard 10 points11 points ago

    You don't have to be sorry, just asking a question.

    [–]SNORTIMER_HAMSWORTH 4 points5 points ago

    He's Canadian. He can't help it!

    [–]fuckingcalmdown -1 points0 points ago

    He said "Sorry," not "Soorry." FunkEnet is probably a Brit.

    [–]malvoliosf 5 points6 points ago

    The implication -- and pretty clear one -- is that the people who are currently American, are somehow the "real Americans" and immigrants are not.

    "He's apparently under the impression that 'Patrick Buchanan' is a Cherokee Indian name."

    [–]DankBeard 1 point2 points ago

    I think that 'Keep America American' could relate to constitutional law, foreign policy, democratic processes, and things that we all have common ground on.

    As for context, I'm from Massachusetts. Mitt Romney did not ever represent anything racist and actually gave us (with the help of state politicians) Masshealth. Your explanation makes perfect sense with the GOP stigma but I was a little surprised to see Romney cast in this light.

    [–]shiskabobtron 7 points8 points ago

    If it has anything to do with Mitt Romney or republicans, it's going to be horribly misconstrued by reddit.

    [–]RTFW 2 points3 points ago

    Romney is the Republican candidate and therefore must be racist. It's in all the guidebooks. Anyone non-white or non-male in the Republican Party is just a traitor according to those same books.

    [–]stuhfoo -2 points-1 points ago

    yes, can you get more defensive? All the reverse racism you have to deal with on a daily basis must be bringing you down, no? Don't have any real struggles in your life so you have to make them up now, right?

    [–]malvoliosf 1 point2 points ago

    I think that 'Keep America American' could relate to constitutional law

    It could, but I don't think anyone did interpret it that way.

    Your explanation makes perfect sense with the GOP stigma but I was a little surprised to see Romney cast in this light.

    An utterly baseless accusation? In politics? Shocking.

    An utterly baseless accusation? In politics? Shocking.

    That's why I find these exchanges valuable.

    [–]Edgerunner10 0 points1 point ago

    It could, but I don't think anyone did interpret it that way.

    I did. Why would anyone think of it any other way? I could easily say that America is the home of immigrants and the land of opportunity and that in itself is an American value. To say that Keep America American is racist based on the thought that it's not taking into account any other race is absurd and consequentially racist in itself? Well guess what, immigrants are Americans too.

    [–]malvoliosf 0 points1 point ago

    I could easily say that America is the home of immigrants and the land of opportunity and that in itself is an American value.

    That's certainly a much more sensible way to interpret it, I just don't think it was meant or heard that way.

    Somebody at the RNC said, "Let America be America", which carries your meaning, much less ambiguously.

    [–]jerkstate 1 point2 points ago

    the catchphrase itself is racist because it implies or states that "America" would not be "American" if more recent immigrants were allowed to have the same rights and freedoms as white protestant americans.

    [–]dclowd9901 -4 points-3 points ago

    Like the Republican party itself, it's not racist, just beloved by racists.

    [–]DankBeard 2 points3 points ago

    That doesn't answer my question. I know plenty of liberals that love America and the values it was founded on.

    [–]malvoliosf -5 points-4 points ago

    Remember, the Republican Party was formed to support slavery.

    Wait....

    [–]Able_Seacat_Simon -1 points0 points ago

    Yes, the Republican party used to be radical, but they all died. The GOP of today is not the party of Lincoln and hasn't been for for at least 60 years.

    [–]dclowd9901 -2 points-1 points ago

    And mold is dangerous and useless.

    Just because something was true at one point doesn't mean it has any bearing on reality now.

    [–]malvoliosf 0 points1 point ago

    So we can disregard all evidence from the past. Maybe we should just re-elect George Bush.

    The last formal ties between the Klan and the Democrats were severed in 2010.

    [–]WalrusTits -2 points-1 points ago

    You're not great at context

    [–]DankBeard 2 points3 points ago

    I'm not great at a lot of things.

    [–]Ahrounmoon 1 point2 points ago

    Interesting. The end of the article points to a misunderstanding where he was quoted as saying "Keep America America." That one little "N" seems to be making the difference for some people. Without a greater context I'm not sure either statement is really that different from the other.

    [–]FunkEnet 1 point2 points ago

    You are right, but it was a one off statement, not a slogan. I definitely would like to hear someone explain why the missing "N" makes such a difference. If there is one I don't see it.

    [–]William_the_Bastard 1 point2 points ago

    With the "n" references the population.

    Without the "n" references the government.

    If you're talking about "Keep America America" it's in reference to the freedoms, liberties, etc that people enjoy. Don't change the structure of the country; don't make it harder to realize the American dream.

    When you add that "n" it is in relation to the makeup of the population. Keeping America "American" means that you don't want the people to be different than they are now. It means that the "real" Americans are white, Protestant, and have been present in the country for generations. If you're not white, then you're not American. (Just for clarification, this is how I understand what this phrase means in the KKK's use of it, and this is not my opinion on what an American actually is.)

    So, in my eyes, there actually is a big difference. Romney saying, "Keep America America" isn't all that terrible. It's a little cheesy, yes, but I don't see any racial undertones to it.

    [–]Mr_Slippery 0 points1 point ago

    It's not racist, but it is a bit tone-deaf. Once someone points out to you that you're one easily-slurred letter away from a KKK motto, you reconsider your phrasing. When you were raised in a religious minority that didn't consider black people fully human until the 1970s and are running against a black man, you seriously reconsider your phrasing.

    [–]U2_is_gay -2 points-1 points ago

      [–]cenobyte40k -1 points0 points ago

      "Keep American America" Either an idiot or a xenophobe said this. Yes it's slightly off from the totally racist KKK thing, but its still the same meaning.

      [–]gocougs11 0 points1 point ago

      It's not at all the same meaning. "Keep America America" is more easily interpreted as wanting to maintain the values our founding fathers believed in. "Keep America American" is more easily interpreted as oppressive towards non-American people.

      [–]LongDongSchlongers 0 points1 point ago

      Well, the thing is without knowing the context, keeping America American sounds good. It's all in the eyes of what each persons "America" is.

      One person it might mean that white males run everything, and women and any non-Caucasian is a second class citizen. Another person might see it as being free.

      This is the third time I've seen this today; please stop.

      [–]William_the_Bastard 1 point2 points ago

      Is this really what reddit has become?

      Massive upvotes for a blatantly false repost simply because it's anti-Romney?

      No one cares about content or truth anymore?

      That awkward moment when you make your whole side of the political spectrum look like grasping practitioners of "Big Lie" technique.

      [–]Eddyoshi 0 points1 point ago

      If I recall my leonardo movies correctly, it was also the catchphrase for the democrats in the 1864 election.

      That awkward moment when nobody can phrase a joke properly anymore so they resort to a template that's gone so far even my college professors use it.

      That awkward moment when you want to upvote a repost.

      [–]joculator -2 points-1 points ago

      Looks like people are starting to use Tea Party tactics on Romney. It was bound to happen after 4 years of shit like this leveled against Obama.

      [–]flaystus -2 points-1 points ago

      That awkward moment when you are justifiably murdered for using the phrase "that awkward moment" on the internet.

      [–]Grumpsh -1 points0 points ago

      Lets get something straight. All the left wing comedians and liberal pundits and talk show heads are voting for Romney. They have been starving for a president they can take cheap shots at without being called racist.
