A top Democratic official in Alabama has said that one of his party's U.S. senators in the state "is a racist" and accused him of marginalizing black party members and wanting them "to pick the cotton" but not "manage the plantation."
The Democratic National Committee's Black Caucus Vice Chairman Randy Kelley, who is black, blasted Doug Jones, who is white, and his allies in the DNC for pressuring African Americans to increase the representation of Hispanic, Asian, youth, gay, and disabled party members in a new "Diversity Caucus," a move he argues would reduce the influence of black Democrats.

Kelley, who is from Moore's home town of Gadsden, accused Jones of being "obsessed" with taking over the state party after competing unsuccessfully for state party chairman several times. “Yes, Doug Jones is a racist," Kelley said. "He said during our first meeting with the DNC Credentials Committee that he has been called a Dixiecrat. If the Dixiecrats are not racist, who is?"
The Dixiecrats were Southern Democrats who seceded from the party in 1948 in protest against the extension of civil rights.
Sounds like what Kelley is figuring out is that they aren't really interested in black folk (despite how they portray themselves as the party that supports blacks), except as a means to their own end.
... or ...
Is Kelley wrong for not supporting his party and doing what they want him to do?
Yet another case of Democrats going 'circular firing squad' over ID politics. We saw it with AOC and Pelosi. We saw it with Harris (or was it Booker?) and Biden.
ID politics is going to kill the Democratic party, mark my words.
so you have a democrat calling for diversity , and the black caucus (also democrats) getting their panties in a wad because diversity is not "fair" to blacks
liberals eating themselves
