Amen!

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.

Again, it’s a matter of what Americans are willing to do to keep it.
All options are on the table. Especially the Lexington-Concord option.
There were blacks that also voted for Donald Trump. The two ladies of Diamond and Silk are just 2 examples
-—Diamond and Silk-—
Now there is a truly American phenomenon. They just went out there and did it. Entrapraneurs
I watched them this morning...... Fox News contributors.
They could not hate me or my country.
Seems to have been the criteria of a lot of voters.
Trump was the only candidate that speaks like people I know...like my father and uncles did. Trump doesn’t speak political mush-mouth.
Given DemoncRAT voting fraud, Trump won the popular election, too.
I sure do pray that voter fraud is on Trump’s clean-up list.
Pardon?
I thought her VP was Tim Kaine
I propose a nice pat on the head, a scratch behind the ears and a bowl of kibble for o’donnell, before we send him on his way.
You are correct, it was Tim Kaine. My point was they forced all the other candidates out until only the Bern was left and they made sure he would not get the nomination by only giving him so many super delegates while they gave Hillary Rotten Clinton the majority of them.
Amen!
Eat it progs! Could it be rejection of Obamas failures and no more Teflon black skin to roll it all off of?
Who cares? Shall I keep dwelling on what failure is?
No, it's just fun to smear in their faces.
Below is a list of Program hosts
Correspondents and substitute anchors
Regular guests and contributors
I do not see Diamond and Silk listed
and finally
Former hosts and contributors
This list s quite large.
That’s his white momma’s half flashing that neo-Nazi sign.
Even though I voted for George W Bush in the 2000 general election and 2004 primary and general election, his brother was out of the question for me. I had nothing against him but 2 Bushes was enough, especially in such a short time.
If there’s any validity to Serwer’s argument, then given the 94+% black voter turnout for obama over Romney or McCain, one can be assured that white voters are much less color nationalistic than blacks. And in 2008, obama was the least personally impressive or professionally accomplished candidate ever to seek the office of President. Yet his support among blacks was strictly based on his skin color. Truth be told, if whites ever voted as blacks do, there would never again be another minority nominee.
...OVER ANYONE!
Correct.
“our black and Hispanic American brothers”
I will consider that I might have black and Hispanic American brothers when you show me one who is not prejudiced against whites.
Let’s see, I wanted Cruz or Paul. But we had choice of Hillary, Bernie, or Donald. EASY CHOICE! Had nothing to do with skin color or gender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adore those two. Gorgeous, sexy, smart!
