Roughly a month ago, Atlantic senior editor Adam Serwer authored an article that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell soon hailed as "mandatory reading." Titled 'The Nationalist's Delusion," the piece challenges the popular narrative that Trump's electoral triumph was propelled by the economic estrangement of white working- and middle-class voters. Rejecting this account, Serwer holds pervasive and deep-seated, if implicit, animosity toward non-white minorities as the ultimate fillip of the Trump phenomenon. To borrow from MSNBC's Van Jones, the 2016 election outcome was, in Serwer's telling, just one big case of "whitelash." Concerns over lax immigration policies, the flight of blue-collar jobs, Islamic terrorism (and obscurantism thereof), and an expressively stifling culture of political correctness were all a pretext for the maintenance of white supremacy and racial inequality.
A key data point Serwer draws on to advance this claim is Trump's "sweeping victory" across all income categories of white voters:
Trump defeated Clinton among white voters in every income category, winning by a margin of 57 to 34 among whites making less than $30,000; 56 to 37 among those making between $30,000 and $50,000; 61 to 33 for those making $50,000 to $100,000; 56 to 39 among those making $100,000 to $200,000; 50 to 45 among those making $200,000 to $250,000; and 48 to 43 among those making more than $250,000. In other words, Trump won white voters at every level of class and income. He won workers, he won managers, he won owners, he won robber barons. This is not a working-class coalition; it is a nationalist one.
Incidentally, in a veritable "white male privilege coming out party," neo-conservative writer Max Boot recently credited both Serwer and these figures, more specifically, in helping him finally "see the light" of America's endemic racism and xenophobia.

Americans simply need to cherish their citizenship.
And I have to thank those white women who voted for Trump.
Many of those black men especially want to arouse the envy of white men and if you don’t like it then you’re racist when it’s the other way around.
Yeah,
So what.

How planing on spendin’ them retirement petro-rubbils, Huge?
Yeah. Whenever I see an inter-racial couple, I wonder if they’re really in love or just using each other. I have a young family member who hooked up with a Black guy, and I swear, she did it mostly to parade him around and accuse her relatives of racism if they acted like maybe she should concentrate on school more and boys less. So they had a kid. Then he left her a couple years later. I guess they both got what they wanted. He got a blonde with a big butt for a few years, she got a very cute mixed race little boy that she can use as a virtue-signaling accessory for life.
Whites are the only ones foolish enough to put themselves on the line for others who will never return the favor. “
Not only will they not return the favor, they will use it against them.
Don’t buy the nonsense in the headline; these stories are designed to chip away BLACK, HISPANIC, and ASIAN support for Trump by framing in it a race context.
Too many of those groups either voted for Trump or just refused to vote for Hillary; the media is already trying to prevent a repeat of that escape from the Dem plantation.
As other FReepers are pointing out, HILLARY CLINTON IS WHITE - and the same country elected a mulatto TWICE.
Affirmative action has real economic, and therefore demographic consequences, and if Republicans don’t fix it then they can look forward to being the permanent political minority going forward. I suspect it will disappear as Hispanics and white women are dropped from preferences, but that can be decades away; there would be no way to replace the white middle class by that point.
The Dems openly hate us; the Republicans hide their scorn better but leave affirmative action in place.
Another loon post. How many bases does the US maintain outside our territory, 800 or so? There are still no Soviets. Russia is not your enemy Mitt.
>>How many bases does the US maintain outside our territory,
As many as required to prop up the Military Industrial empire?
>>Russia is not your enemy Mitt.
I’m not Mitt, Huge.
Have fun exchanging those petro-rubbils for toilet paper.
So she used him as an excuse to get out of studying and making a better life for herself? I have no words...
And for attention, I think.
Interesting...if 97% of blacks vote for Obie, that’s not racist...if 60% of whites vote for Trump, that’s racist.
