".....Even as he shifts to the right, however, Walker, a preternaturally careful candidate, is avoiding any explicit suggestion that he is the champion of disaffected white voters. Still, key policy positions — particularly his changing stance on immigration and his attacks on public sector unions — reveal a carefully directed appeal. In 2011, Walker successfully sponsored legislation repealing most collective bargaining rights for government employees. Walker’s anti-union initiative has made him a folk hero to conservatives concerned about what they see as the expanding power of government.
In a recent paper, “The Whiteness of Wisconsin’s Wages,” Dylan Bennett, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, and Hannah Walker, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Washington, argue that “Governor Walker and his allies activated the racial animus of white workers.”
Bennett and Walker contend that gutting the power of public sector unions serves as a vehicle to disempower African-American workers, “for whom the public sector is the single most important source of employment.”
According the authors, the purpose of the attacks on public employees is to suggest that “those who receive from the taxpayers are dependent and morally corrupt. The link to blackness is silent and efficient.”........
....Seeking insight into Walker’s tactics, I emailed Sean Trende, a senior elections analyst for RealClearPolitics, who has argued that a political strategy calling for boosting white turnout — as opposed to trying to increase minority support — remains a viable Republican option, despite the growing number of minority voters. I wrote to Trende as follows: “My impression is that Scott Walker is developing a campaign based on the premise that an expanded white electorate can be the basis of victory in 2016. Your thoughts?”......

“It’s not racist when WE do it...”
there’s a black caucus, an Asian caucus, Hispanic caucus, a million women’s groups, blacks vote 100000 percent dem, and he’s the racist lol
BTW, anyone ever serve on Grand Jury lol? have to leave soon and don’t know what to expect.
Most NYTimes reporters/editors/contributors are pedophiles, nut jobs or communists. Sometimes all three.
I see it. This is how the MSM inserts opeds into the journalistic "news cycle", Oh no, the author didn't give his opinion. Instead, he called up some buddy's and asked them if they said this. "It would sound good in my article."
I know this happens because I had a reporter once read me a quote to see if I agreed with it. "Would you say, 'xyz & lmnop..."? I did and she printed it as according to Tenacious1, "xyz & lmnop"
The New York Times....all the news that’s fit to print by the adolescents of the adolescent communist movement in the U.S.
IMHO
So, we start with the premise that all Republican candidates are white racists, then find articles written by liberals supporting it.
The New York Times? (Yawn) Just another grocery store rag.

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama still ISN'T!
I wish one would ever call me for a quote. Even I as, as an unknowing, naive, private citizen, with no experience in my life of dealing with the media, would not agree to anything they offered to me to agree or disagree. Even if I agreed with the statement, I would say “ No, that’s not what I would say, I would such-and-such”. But then I’ve had the benefit of learning these things from over 30 years of being married to the most cynical man of earth, lol, and learning to argue with a master arguer. (Strange that the most cynical man I’ve ever known, my husband, is also the most understanding of human weakness and foibles, and the one who has put himself out most of anyone I’ve ever known to help other people).
Q: Why do Leftists always play the race card on their enemies?
A: Because IT WORKS EVERY TIME.
When the Times and their media camp followers start calling a conservative Republican ‘Racist’, you know they are worried. Very worried. Scared $chittlees even.

Just the other day it was the "Looks like Walker might be emotionally unstable" smear.
"Scott Walker enters the Republican presidential race with far stronger ties to the party’s biggest fund-raisers than any other candidate besides Jeb Bush.
Roughly half of the nation’s top 250 Republican donors have given money to Mr. Walker in his campaigns for Wisconsin governor, according to an Upshot analysis of Federal Election Commission records and state records. By comparison, 30 percent have given to Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, 20 percent to Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and 10 percent to Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.
A presidential campaign is a chance for candidates to introduce themselves to top fund-raisers, and it’s possible that another candidate will become the favorite of donors. But the data underscores the reason that Mr. Walker appears at this early stage to be in the strongest position of any candidate other than Mr. Bush......"
Bingo. This article is particularly pathetic example. It resorts to quoting a doctoral candidate. Wow! What a source. What's next, quoting a 12th grader's senior thesis?
“There were more Pakistanis and (Eastern) Indians working in the main building on the west side than black people, at least in IT (which is a big chunk).”........
Interesting that you defined which area of the DOT those people worked in, that being the “IT” group. Perhaps those who were there were better qualified than most of the blacks. (That is not a racist statement).
The NYT would no doubt love to transform ALL America into Baltimore/Ferguson.
