This is the monster of identity politics gone berserk.
They don't hate white people. The democratic party is the biggest pro white organization on the planet. All the exist to do is make white people look like saviors of all minorities, and discredit minorities.

This is so true

"The Democrats thought everyone shared their assumptions. Having decided that no decent person could vote for Donald Trump – a candidate backed by a “basket of deplorables” – they seemed to argue that people had a moral responsibility to keep him out of office, irrespective of any other consideration: “our children are watching”, as her ads relentlessly reminded the TV audience.

But other things that were closer to home mattered more to people than Donald Trump’s flaws, and Donald Trump was talking about them – albeit in crude terms, and in even cruder terms about things they often wished he wouldn’t talk about at all."

Yet when they looked over the fence to see what was on the left-liberal agenda, what did they hear? Gender-neutral pronouns, safe spaces, transgender bathroom rights – the burgeoning agenda of identity politics that many ordinary voters feel is widening and entrenching division – and what someone in one of my focus groups of African-American voters called the “rich white person problem” of climate change.

Very astute individual. Why are Dems focusing on the cause célèbre of climate change (when earth's climate has ALWAYS changed in naturally occurring cycles, having been much warmer 100,000s of years ago in the past), instead of focusing their attention on trying to find solutions for minorities' disproportionate poverty and crime rates?

Democrats think and they're probably not wrong, this election notwithstanding, that they can totally disregard the white voters going forward. They have about 40% of white voters no matter what and their real base is the 'people of color' coalition that keeps growing because of immigration who seem to be all about identity politics. But this is really just the Democrat party showing its true colors and intentions its had for several decades. Who knows how extreme democrats will get.

No, she absolutely said what she meant and she exposed true racist self.

When you dig that far out to non-whites looking for support you have to crater to their demands or else you end up with divisive government and that's exactly what's been happening since Obama took office.

He's done some good things for race relations but he sets this back when he over-steps and make some divisive remarks that clearly was meant to prove he's got a race scorecard handy.
