Despite President Obama's two election victories, the nation has become increasingly racially divided in its politics and "tribal" in its voting patterns, according to the president's election pollster.

"We've come a long way in a lot of different ways around race in this country, but if you look at our voting patterns, we're as segregated in how we vote today as we were 40-some years ago," said Cornell Belcher, president of Brilliant Corners Research & Strategies and a Harvard University fellow...

“Tribes” is obviously a word that has racial connotations — slaves were kidnapped from their native tribes.

So using the word in any way is a micro-aggression against minorities, intended to repress them, to make them feel inferior, to remind them of their kidnappings from peaceful, harmonious former environs, and their involuntary transport to an oppressed subsistence in the diaspora.

And oh, yeah, if you don’t force everyone else to use a hypenated descriptor term to classify you, you’re not entitled to the tribal spoils here, in the diaspora!

So use of the word “tribal” is obviously another tactic of brutal anglophile, xenophobic repression!

One can only imagine the $hiite $torm that would follow if this were to have originated in the Trump camp.

Or even Carson......

Yet if this SOB were to run again we would be hard pressed to defeat him...Amazing.....

That is what community organizers do.
baraq is a community organizer. He doesn’t know how to do anything else. And his media was all aglow about his background and lack of real experience.
