First, the Federalist and the article /author are far from SJW's, but neither of you even bothered looking before weighing, or you would have known that. Brilliant.
BigDGeek, very interesting article. I know I've conveyed some of the same frustration in threads here, but have gotten a pat on the head and 'you're wrong' in response to them.
I think he's perfectly articulated what's been happening in our society. Now what?
(rhetorically asked)
What racial detente? Any "detente" died in 2009 when Obama inserted himself into the arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates. A couple months before that Holder made his charming comment about America being a nation of cowards about race. Now CNN regularly airs the fear mongering nonsense of the race baiter Van Jones and race relations are more poisonous than I've seen since the 60's.
there are parts of this that I agree with. It jives with Jim Webb's recent comments that white working class voters from PA WI and MI who voted for Obama twice, voted for Trump because they no longer felt welcome in the Democrat party.
I also agree that this cross over to Privilege Theory has done a great deal of harm.
what I don't agree with is that this has led to white tribalism. The fact is the democrat party created identity politics because they decided it was the path to power. that methodology by the left is the cause of all this. THEY created the tribes.
Even still I totally reject the idea that whites who were left out had to run to some all white tribe. The things that Mr. Trump has said are simply things that many of us identify with.
Consider Trumps view on illegal immigration. His view is indistinguishable from that of Caesar Chavez. Chavez was a very liberal Union Activist. He is a hero of the left. He hated illegal immigration from Mexico.
It isn't the white folk that changed. Its the LEFT that changed. identity politics became their winner.
there are dozens of examples
