Yes, the Democrats pretty much invented identity politics, and for a while, at least, they will pay the penalty. But this characterization of the two candidates is a flat-out lie, as well.
Hillary is an ambitious Marxist/Lesbian/feminist who has used blacks to climb her way to power, but can scarcely be said to have helped them in any significant way. She has just climbed on their backs, while ensuring that they remain on the plantation.
And Obama used his black ID card to climb his way to power through Harvard and then in a black district in the Chicago area, with the help of his good friends Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan--and the Chicago machine, of course, which needed a useful black for that district.
All that stuff about coming together is nothing but empty talk. Try to question him, and he pulls the race card every time.
Note to NYT:
HUSSEIN NObomba always has been, and always will be, about race, race and nothing more than race. He got where he’s at because of it and will sink or swin because of it.
“De-emphasis” . . . laughable.
