Democrats, Not Trump, Racialize Our Politics

Democratic pundits are calling on their party to court working-class and non-coastal whites in the wake of this month’s electoral rout. But the Democratic Party is now dominated by identity politics, which defines whites, particularly heterosexual males, as oppressors of every other population in the U.S. Why should the targets of such thinking embrace an ideology that scorns them?

The most absurd Democratic meme to emerge from the party’s ballot-box defeat is the claim that it is Donald Trump, rather than Democrats, who engages in “aggressive, racialized discourse,” in the words of a Los Angeles Times op-ed. By contrast, President Barack Obama sought a “post-racial, bridge-building society,” according to New York Times reporter Peter Baker. Obama’s post-racial efforts have now “given way to an angry, jeering, us-against-them nation,” writes Baker, in a front-page “news” story.

Tell that valedictory for “post-racial bridge-building” to police officers, who have been living through two years of racialized hatred directed at them in the streets, to the applause of many Democratic politicians. Black Lives Matter rhetoric consists of slogans like: “CPD [Chicago Police Department] KKK, how many children did you kill today?” “F___ the police,” and “Racist, killer cops.” Officers have been assassinated by Black Lives Matter-inspired killers who set out to kill whites in general and white police officers in particular. Gun murders of law enforcement officers are up 67 percent this year through November 23, following five ambushes and attacks over the November 18 weekend that left a San Antonio police officer and a U.S. marshall dead. A few days before those weekend shootings, anarchist wannabes in Austin led a counting chant based on the template: “What’s better than X dead cops? X + 1 Dead Cops.”

While dems are left puzzling over the loss of white working class in the Rust Belt, Trump is already planning to go after their core constituency in the inner cities. Once the dems lose the black vote and can’t count on any more illegals, it’s all over.

ABSOLUTELY. Race-baiters extraordinaire - those evil, deceptive POS ‘Rats.

[goldstategop]

Democrats have told white males - your votes are neither needed nor wanted.

And they wonder why they keep on losing elections? Outside of minority-majority CA, they can’t win.

Sucks to be them.

And everyone who votes for a democrate promotes racism.

[max americana]

Of course, they did.

What the news media will never say is that the Obama Administration has waged a war on the American middle class for eight years. This includes the Stimulus, Dodd-Franks, ObamaCare, open borders, increased payroll taxes, etc. and an assault on traditional values and culture. It's ironic considering Obama and his minions continually claim to be the champions of the working class.

So what makes it stop? While it has come to a boil in the last eight years in general and during this election in particular. Anti-white racialized politics has been being pushed since the 1960's. it's just that now they have had several generations that have been imbibed in the anti-white, Anti-West propagada and clearly have drank it up. Not to mention there has been little to no push back from whites except to say inane things line 'I not racist'.

Such a claim is an insult to the overwhelming majority of white Americans who harbor no bigotry and who long to live in a truly post-racial society.

And that will be to our downfall as most non-whites do not. When non whites clamor for doing away with race group i.e. the Black & Hispanics Caucuses, LaRaza or The NAACP et. al. or anti-white laws etc then maybe we can talk but otherwise that is complete and utter pied piper BS. ,

ABSOLUTELY. Racists thrive on the concept "racism". It's who they are. Racists. Lying, POS, scum-sucking, deceptive, back-stabbing, front-stabbing, racists. Late 2016. Wake up. Witness the obvious.

The courts just slapped him down again, maybe the 50th time, for his labor department trying to tell business' how much they can pay their salaried employees.

The Harvard educated pin heads in the bureaucracy, decided business and their relationship with their employees needed to be meddled with and demanded business pay their salaried employees an hourly wage if they make a certain amount for a certain amount of time.

See they are absolute experts in running a business, employing hundreds of Americans to work and abide by all the rules and regulations they put out there on a daily basis. And something was "not fair" in their eyes so time to tell others what to do! Its what they do!!
