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.”

How many all-white parties should there be?
David, my boy, put a sock in it.
If they did that, they would be screaming to come back in a month. Of course, that would be after the locals cleaned them out of everything they brought with them. And the discovery that WIC cards don’t work, minutes for the Obama phone have to be bought, and “public housing” is the stick, rock, and mud thing you can build on public land. Said public land not being permitted water, sewage, or electrical connections.
“If he hates whites so much why doesn’t he just cut his own throat and leave the rest of us alone?? I’m sick of these bad people who hate me. Don’t for a second believe they hate themselves.”
I would disagree that he doesn’t hate himself. All leftists, even the RINO kind, are haters who have a deep self-loathing, particular white leftists. Also, all leftists are congenital liars; they lie all the time about everything, but mostly they lie to themselves. And the reason he doesn’t cut his own throat is that he is an outright coward on top of every other repugnant leftist character flaw he exhibits. The Republican Party will have no future until and unless it purges itself of the RINO elitist scumbags that pull the puppet strings.

A Liberian?

Black voters find David Brooks’ neocon geopolitical views appealing.
Black voters are apparently disgusted by Donald Trump’s raceless free wheeling entertainer candidacy.
How about all Police officers are racists or all white people are racists or all Christians are racists or if you don’t like Obama you are racist.
What about that Mr. Brooks
This prick should once and for all stop identifying himself as a conservative.
LOL! Well, there is one party that is called many names. who’s true name must not be named!!!
Democrats
Liberals
Leftists
Progressives
Social Democrats
True name: Communists
David Brooks the pajama boy will sit in his white gated compound, eat white bread and drink white wine until the savages come to kill him.
Then in his final moments, he will finally understand his complete and utter stupidity as they saw his head off.
I love how Obama and Hillary feel they have to lecture white people on this urban violence problem, or maybe I should say “typical white people” clinging to their guns and their religion. Now they call it tribalism because one party is “white”. This is only more deliberate division of the citizenry, without addressing the real concerns.
This condescension is infuriating, not because it is from these smug liberal phonies whose clumsy lies are being revealed every day, but because their logic is so lacking. Black people are gunning themselves down by the score every week in their own neighborhoods; their children, their sons and daughters, their mothers and sisters, are all being murdered in cross fires and gang shootings, and when the rest of the world sees that their leaders will not lift a finger to stop it, or even complain about it, then what is the world supposed to think? Do you really value black life? If you did, your silence could sure fool us. If white liberal Rahm Emmanuel can stomach 12 black children dying every weekend without doing a damn thing to stop it, then how is this impudent lecture to “white people” by Hillary Clinton even supposed to register a second’s attention; hell, it is nothing more than a propaganda stunt from a habitual liar, as confirmed by the FBI. (If 12 white children were getting gunned down every weekend in Chicago, you would literally see the 82nd Airborne Division mobilized in the streets. I cannot understand how these Dems, from Rham to Cory Booker, allow this violence to happen unchecked – and the press barely covers it.) So their leadership and their white Democratic masters have absolutely no regard for black human life – that is apparent, unless…and here is where it gets very cynical, they can make political hay about a white cop shooting a black male. Which are statistically tiny occurrences in a sea of inner city gun violence!
When there is massive gun violence in the black community, it is not the fault of white people, so don’t lecture us, lecture the people who are doing all the shooting. Gun crime in America is not Sandy and some movie theater, which are anecdotal freak occurrence aberrations, it is the everyday warfare in the top 50 urban areas in America; Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Oakland, DC, New Orleans, LA, and so on and so on. If you take those inner cities out of America’s murder numbers, we are one of the safest nations on Earth. It is those very specific geographic locations, unfortunately, that thousands of black males engage in gun violence, under the watch of their Democratic overlords, who have been running these ghettos for 75 years, who do nothing, who don’t even enforce the current gun laws they have on the books. Who cynically use these daily tragedies as a political bludgeon to try and gain national political advantage rather than save the lives of their constituents. Gun Control? What a waste of breath, a stupid, deceitful diversion from the ugly truths which they refuse to address for their own political reasons.
Giuliani and Bloomberg proved that black lives matter, and they saved black lives by the thousands! I would caveat this discussion that mass shootings by Muslim terrorists are a danger, because they are increasing in frequency and the direct product of a global conspiracy.
Outside the 50 ghettos, the 300 million guns and one trillion rounds of ammunition that America owns are almost never used in violence, because if they were you would sure know about it. It really means that the law abiding gun owners are in fact the safest and most responsible part of our national community – a fact which is deliberately overlooked by the Democrats and the media that they control. This gun control debate is a red herring and Obama, like Hillary, is just diverting attention for political points. There is no real leadership. How can Hillary be a leader, she is a pathological liar whose only concern is the power and secret wealth she can amass through illicit political deals. That is her history. They blame the NRA because it has been an effective truth-teller and vote-getter against their relentless propaganda. It is only politics, not human lives that the Democrats are concerned about, especially black lives, we have seen it on the urban streets of America as black children continuously die, and by our brave boys who died at Benghazi…Hillary really doesn’t care,…wasn’t it a video?
Brooks is griping because he has finally figured out that “an all-White party” will beat the socks off an all-Black party. Even if all the Democrat governors have the sizable Black prison population registered to vote for Hillary, she will still lose if Whites wake up and smell the coffee this election in order to avoid the collapse of America.
Which party is he talking about?
The party of Col West, Herman Cain, Michael Steele, Ben Carson, among many others?
Or the OTHER all white party?
Psychobabble speech. They think they’re clever and try to sound reasonable.
What they really are are propaganda machines.
PBS ragging on the Dems?
