On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that in the discussions after the shooting of police officers in Dallas, and the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, “it doesn’t help that we have an American political debate with basically one all-white party.”
Brooks began by saying, “The question, to me, is, are we going to speak out in a way that is actual dialogue and conversation, or are we going to drift into tribal thinking? There’s been a lot of rancid overgeneralizations in our society, that all African men behind the wheel are dangerous, that all Muslims are somehow involved in terrorism, that all cops are somehow at war with communities. And if we can speak in a way that’s not tribalistic, that’s not making these generalizations, then we may make something out of the current moment. But I’m not always hopeful after a bad week like this one.”
He later added, “[W]hen people are in a period of bad mood, then they want to hunker down and protect. And that’s the exact opposite from what we need now. And let’s be frank, it doesn’t help that we have an American political debate with basically one all-white party. And that just means we fall along very polarized lines, when we fall into the normal default position of politics, that we fall along racially polarized lines. And we have to acknowledge that’s an inherently dangerous situation, given everything else that’s happening.”

Brooks is a race-traitor. Keep in mind 43% of whites voted for Obama too. He has successfully installed the typical African ruling class in nice muslim fashion. The only people I see standing up to the African criminals are labeled skinhead supremacist for their opposition to BLiesMatter scum.
No whites in the Demorat party?
He should take his self hating ass to South Africa.
This is about the Muslim vs Christian wars in the Congo. Every African-American should kiss the American soil they walk on every day. Their slave ancestors paid their dues for them DECADES IN ADVANCE!!!!””
I’ve never heard a sliver of gratitude from any of them.
Make no mistake, what is happening in the Congo is closer than we think.
It doesn’t help that there’s one party that keeps minorities on the plantation...
or are we going to drift into tribal thinking?

That’s all that exists in the other party.
It was not White America’s idea for Democrats deciding that there are more votes for them by DIVIDING THE COUNTRY BY RACE.
But now that they have, they will have to deal with Trump getting the VAST MAJORITY of the white vote - which is what Brooks really fears, as that will be a LANDSLIDE victory.
In fact, that is the basis of ALL OF THE FEAR of Trump. They know that if a Republican ever connects with white voters, their entire plan for the New World Order is over. It has NOTHING to do with Trump himself, it only has to do with what he represents and that is why they were even willing to team up with Democrats and the Media to try to stop him. Even today, I doubt anyone denies that the fear of Brooks and the rest of the GOPe is that TRUMP MIGHT WIN, not that he may lose.
It’s all one party. Trump is trying to break it up.
It also doesn’t help that the non-producing losers of one party are sucking the life out of the producers in the other party.
That is not gonna’ last and we will take what is owed to us at some point.
It doesn’t help that multiculturalism is an abysmal failure.
“If he hates whites so much why doesn’t he just cut his own throat and leave the rest of us alone??”
You know how all of this gets fixed? Make it a law that all buildings cannot have guards at the front acting like dorrmen. All gated communities have to take their gates down. Both of these make me very depressed as I cannot afford these things and I free economically inferior.
Too many blacks in places like SC going for Hillary.
The self-hating Caucasians are now lining up.
I like it! Although as a conservative, for 30 years I lived in a doorman building. Today, I don’t - and I have already had one near mugging a few years ago.
Seems to me that one party had 3 candidates for President during their primary season that were all white. Only one of the candidates was a woman. All three of them also were married to non-immigrant spouses.
The other party had 12 candidates, including one black candidate, two Hispanic candidates (25% racial minority). They also had a woman as a candidate. 3 of them (25%) are also married to spouses who were either immigrants or were children of immigrants.
So, yes, it is clear that one party is lily white and has no real personal connection with the issues that minorities or immigrants face in this country.
Diamond and Silk will be shocked to learn they’re white.
Yeah, because the Dems aren’t the racist party. D’oh! [eyeroll]
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment urgently needs to be repealed imo.

"It’s all one party. Trump is trying to break it up." =^)
David Brooks doesn't get it. We're NOT trying to 'help' or 'heal' or make life easier for white liberal elites or the black underclass that props them up - WE'RE TRYING TO SURVIVE.
If David Brooks want to wallow in white guilt and/or endless puffed up pity parties he damn sure picked the right place to work.
Go for it David.
