I am not denying that is what she meant I just said that in this political climate when the Dems are soul searching and trying to bring white working class America back, it was a poor choice of words.
In this climate??? Meaning that, in some other climate, declaring that the Democratic party should not choose a white person as leader would be acceptable to you?

No, that the idea has been brought out in the media that the Dems don't care about white people and here is someone from the party saying we don't need white people in the leadership, as in we don't need to give in to the climate (which is fair). It just looks as though to many that they don't care about white people. It seems flippant.

To be Clear, the Sanders camp lost the war for the soul of the Democratic Party, you realize that right ?

There was nothing in that discussion about not giving in to the media climate. You're trying to spin this to make it seem less overtly racist than it is.

It doesn't matter that it wasn't in the discussion. I never said it was. I said that in this political climate with the media and the Dems themselves saying that the Dem Party has abandoned white working class America, something as flippant as the Dems don't need white people in leadership would be seen as further indication to those making the claim that Dems don't like white people.

As I said in my post, its a decades long discussion that Democrats have had with themselves about whether or not there has to be a white person as the face of the party.
You think context starts with the one link above. Others do not.
You have every right to your opinion, but I think it is a topic that goes far deeper than you are willing to look into.
I will make this simple for you.You are defining identity politics as having to do with only race, gender, and sexuality. Im not. Im defining it by issues.
so yes, going out and talking to a group who's number one issue is the second amendment is 100% identity politics, going out and talking to a religious group about their religious identity and protecting it is 100% identity politics.
moral issues, race issues, religious issues, sexuality issues, constitutionality issues, are all issues that groups of people identify with.
Malarkey and if that is how Dems think then NO WONDER you guys lost. White people do not set out to debate these issues on behalf of white people. You have lobbyists though who do campaign on behalf of certain identities. They play the politics of identity.
You haven't made anything simple, you've actually complicated and deconstructed a simple issue as though it were literary criticism. No one needs to read between the lines because ANYONE can get behind those issues regardless of race.
By identity politics I meant using certain demographics to advocate for their interests and only their interests.
So only white people can care about the 2nd amendment? Pro-life? Family values?

Not all Trump supporters are racist, but there are clearly some who are. The problem is that some of you are defending them.
