Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris blasted critics of "identity politics," saying that those who use the phrase are attempting to "marginalize issues that impact all of us." Speaking Friday at the Netroots Nation event in New Orleans, Harris implored her supporters to instead fully address the issues of race and gender.
"Let’s be clear," Harris told the crowd. "When people say [identity politics], it’s a pejorative. That phrase is used to divide, and it is used to distract. Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us. It is used to try and shut us up.”
She further galvanized the audience, saying that Democrats won't be silenced about immigrant rights and women's reproductive rights.

The democrats don’t want a united America. They want African-America, Hispanic-America, Asian-America, Native-American (Indian), Indian-America (India), Muslim-America, LGBT(or what are we today?)-America, people of color-America, poor-America, underprivileged-America, etc., etc., etc. The only colors they dislike and don’t want are white and orange. Especially straight white Christian-American. This hated group must be labeled, isolated, targeted, shunned, persecuted, taunted, tormented, sued out of business, bankrupted, beaten, and eventually herded onto boxcars and shipped off to the reeducation camps. The orange-American is the most hated of all.
Hammer on the head of the nail Mr Jim except instead of reeducation camps I believe they would have us shot, gassed, beheaded...any method will do as long as we are dead!
She’s nothing more than a race baiter white hating b****
Another reason to ban all immigration.
Many of them are, but many more are truly evil.
Kamala Harris is such a jerkoff traveling the country giving out her free but unwelcome ideas how to run stuff, while the state she administers is literary on fire and begging for Federal emergency aid. Meanwhile, they all ask their resident taxpayers to accept the “new normal.” Go home, witch.

I’d love to see Harris take on Ocasio-Cortez in a spelling contest.
n Inglis v. Trustees (1830) and Elk v. Wilkins (1884), the Supreme Court ruled that a child born on U.S. soil, of a father who owes allegiance to a sovereignty other than the United States, is not a U.S. citizen at birth; the citizenship of such a child is that of its father, not its place of birth [20]. Consequently, the U.S.-born child of a foreign-citizen father cannot be a natural born citizen
So, she's repudiating her entire career and is going to retire from public life? Great! Thanks Altura Ct..
That’s nice ... it’s irrelevant to my comment, though. Loyalty occurs in a person’s mind, not in the accidents of his birth.
Barack Hussein 0bama wasn’t a horrible President because he was born in Kenya. He was a horrible President because he was loyal to mohammedanism, and communism, and because he held the founding principles of America beneath contempt.
In a sane world Kamala Harris could not be elected dog catcher, let alone to congress.
Kamala Harris, proving if you sleep with the right rich guy, he’ll buy you a Senate seat.
Is there any group of hardworking Americans that Elizabeth Warren hasn’t vilified?

[snip] our criminal justice system,” she railed. “It’s racist. It is. And when I say our system, I mean all the way. I mean front to back. This is not just sentencing reform we’re talking about here. We’re talking about the front end on what you declare to be illegal on how you enforce it, on who gets arrested. [/snip]
Well, let's be clear, Camela, there is a serious disconnect with your ignorant Black Logic...
Identity Politics by the New Marxists of the extreme left wing fringe is __________???
But the same thing by American Citizens and Legal Immigrants is "That phrase is used to divide, and it is used to distract. Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us.It is used to try and shut us up.”
Seems like in addition to never discovering the wheel and even primitive writing, Africa neglected to breed simple logic into its indigenous population. The "one drop" rule prevails.
You've painted yourself into a primitive culture corner.
The Identity Politics scam has been around a long time!
Over 100 years now, like a vampire.
Social justice is liberal authoritarianism invested with religious levels of devotion.
Identity politics takes this one step further. It is a reversion to the unification of tribe and faith. It is most akin to the Old Testament Jews. Real Jews worshiped Yaweh, Jews who worshiped another God were expelled or killed. The shared faith increases cohesion of the group and power of the leaders. Predicating membership in the tribe on belief system causes everyone who loves you to pressure you to conform to the belief system.
By saying “real blacks are Democrat, real women are liberal”, it enables liberal bullies to abuse evil apostates, those who betrayed the tribe by espousing blasphemous views. How dare Tammy Bruce, a lesbian, express conservative views? Conservative blacks are traitors, call them ethnic slurs that we say evil racist conservatives use for everyone. They’re not really black because they’re conservative and actually worse than groups we assume aren’t believers like white men.
A decade before Me, Too, liberals were sexually demeaning conservative women.
The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse

Why revert to tribalism? It creates a lot of opportunities for race baiting liberals to become leaders of THEIR communities. It divides society into competing groups that liberals think justifies having big Mommy government over everyone to mediate the disputes and make it fair.
By thinking everyone is oppressing you and against you, you undermine the common American culture that liberals hate as evil and oppressive. And it justifies keeping immigrants from assimilating, because their culture is part of their sacred identity and necessary to keeping them a tight uniform Democrat voting block. This is simply a shift in Communists’ constant war of the classes to constant warring between demographic tribes, instead.
Identity politics lets you attack the family, too, by saying men are oppressing women and can’t understand them. Or pushing interracial families to pick their tribe while simultaneously demonizing those who intermarry. White guy dates an Asian? He’s just a racist fetishizing her. A black man wants to marry a white woman? He’s bought into white supremacist standards of beauty and betraying his tribe.
Identity politics unironically adopts a number of the worst traits of ancient fundamentalist religion.
There’s collective guilt like original sin but no redemptive aspect. Instead, at best, the lower castes can rise up to tolerated status for sufficiently denouncing their inborn sin like white privilege. Like Christian dhimmi in Muslim theocratic systems, there are direct personal benefits to doing this. If you beat yourself up, the people who hate you won’t do it worse. If you demonize your own group, they put up with you for entertainment.
Demonize your own group and advocate their oppression, and your moral superiors with all the power will put you in charge of your group. So by hating on whites and men, like the DNC party chair candidate who said it was her job to silence white people, they expect to get a position in middle management.
Many other liberal bullies’ tactics are right out of Puritan times. Shaming and shunning of dissidents. But there are no constraints when you can enlist thousands of strangers on the internet as there were when you have to live with the people afterward. So while you might throw tomatoes at them on Saturday or scream insults all weak, you shut up at the end of the punishment period because you sit with them in church on Sunday. The weaponization of poverty, intentionally destroying someone’s ability to earn a living, was not tolerated because the people doing it had to literally pay the welfare for the person they hurt so.
Excellent points, thank you.
