" The same people who argue that “identity politics” has curdled public discourse refuse to acknowledge their own worldview as one predicated on white identity as the “natural” order."

The man as as blind as he thinks conservatives are. The "white identity order" is not white, as liberals implicitly admit in their consternation about Africans supporting Trump, but it refers to a culture of traditional values, moral or at least financial and in governing. Which means that while it is mainly white people who contend for this, yet it is not contending for whiteness but the culture that many or most Africans also basically support. And thus a black conservative Trump or even Bush or Romney, would be elected by white conservatives vs a Hillary etc., and Herman Cain was once a front runner conservative candidate before the liberal media lynched him. It is culture, nor color.

And since the Left is loath to call a black a conservative, then its own racist bigotry is on display.
