As a child I saw an ad for movie — which I never watched — titled “Japanese Tank Versus American Armored Car”. All these years I’ve wondered what I missed by not viewing that extraordinary confrontation. But there was no need to worry as more bizarre spectacles awaited. Decades later Twitter is alive with matchups for the next presidential like “Two White Hispanics Versus One Elderly Woman” or “Elderly White Woman Versus White-Looking Native American”.
If it sounds weirder than Nipponese Tank vs Detroit Armored Car it is because identity politics is being driven by the American kaleidoscope of identities into a kind of reductio ad absurdum. One Tweet captures how strange things look through the traditional liberal identity politics viewport now that Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have declared their candidacy for president.
Really The GOP is just “old men” hmmm two Republican hopefuls are in their early 40s still while #Hillary is almost 70.
Who’s a minority? In 2003 the New York Times noted that “Hispanics have edged past blacks as the nation’s largest minority group”. Pew Research notes that in California whites are now minority in California because Hispanics are in the majority. NBC reports that by 2043, whites will no longer be the majority overall. So are Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio “minorities” (being Hispanic) or in the majority? Or are they in either category only sometimes?
Matt Walsh says its time to call identity politics off. ”No, it isn’t ‘time for a woman to be president.’”, he says. “It’s time for a competent adult of either gender to be president.”(continued)

The audience liked that part of it, but as different Star Trek series came and went, the idea became a parody of itself. The politically correct wanted different races as the captain of the ship, and then a woman. But this advocacy/demand was an inversion of what the original show was about. The original show was a meritocracy. Lt. Uhura was not just a black affirmative action hire, but the best communications officer available. Nobody on the show ever thought she wasn't. But the politically correct turned it into "let's have an X or a Y be captain," without understanding that they were completely missing the point.
We are now in a Star Trek presidency. We had several white male captains, so now we want black captains, then women captains, and not bothering to ask if they are the best available.
The Liberals wanted a Negro president...but they couldn’t find a “qualified” one. So, they settled for a Mulatto instead...and tried to pass him off for a Negro.
The Democrats have the bench set to play identity politics for several cycles. Hillary appears poised to take the nomination in a walk. Julian Casto, current secretary of HUD, and former mayor of San Antonio, is quietly sitting on the bench waiting to be tapped for the VP nomination. Castro’s mother was a founder of La Raza. Castro on the ticket will bring out the Mexican American and Central American vote as well as encourage community activists to push illegals to commit voter fraud by registering and showing up to vote.
Castro is then set to lead the ticket in 2020 or 2024 depending on Hillary’s decision to run for reelection in 2020. It may be Hillary was promised a cakewalk to the nomination in 2016 in return for a promise to be a one term president. In any event a Clinton/Castro ticket in 2016 neutralizes any hispanic benefit from either Cruz or Rubio being the VP candidate on a ticket headed by Jeb Bush or Scott Walker. When Castro heads the Dem ticket in 2020 or 2024 he can pick a black (Cory Booker or Deval Patrick) a white female in development (Senator Amy Klobochar for example), or even a white male (Terry McAuliffe perhaps). Elizabeth Warren will be 70 in 2020, possibly too old to run with Castro, but she could on the ticket at the top if Hillary retires and Castro flames out. Watch Klobochar, she’s starting to make the Sunday talk show circuit.
“The Liberals wanted a Negro president...but they couldn’t find a “qualified” one.”
Come on...he’s articulate, clean, light skinned, and doesn’t speak in a Negro dialect unless he wants to. What’s not to love?
Word on the street says that unofficially, white people have now fallen below 50% of the population of the United States.
We are now Brazil with nukes.
