For a few hours on Saturday morning, I felt good about America. I was at a smallish rally in the Atlanta suburb of Riverdale, listening to Democratic politicians including Senator Kamala Harris and Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, who could become the first African-American female governor in American history. Abrams told a story she often repeats on the campaign trail, about being 17 and arriving at the governor’s mansion for a reception for Georgia’s high school valedictorians.
Her family didn’t have a car, and she described getting off the bus and walking with her parents along a driveway to a set of black gates. A guard approached, and she remembered him saying, “This is a private event — you don’t belong here.”
Though they were eventually let in, Abrams recalled little of the event itself. “The only clear memory I have of that day is a man standing in front of the most powerful place in Georgia, looking at me and telling me I don’t belong,” she said. “But with your help in 10 days we will open those gates wide!” The crowd stood, applauding and cheering, as Abrams said, “Because this is our Georgia!”
Right now America is tearing itself apart as an embittered white conservative minority clings to power, terrified at being swamped by a new multiracial polyglot majority. The divide feels especially stark in Georgia, where the midterm election is a battle between Trumpist reaction and the multicultural America whose emergence the right is trying, at all costs, to forestall.
Abrams’s goal is to put together a coalition of African-American and other minority voters and white liberals. The potential is there; Georgia is less than 53 percent non-Hispanic white. “Georgia is a blue state if everybody votes,” DuBose Porter, chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, told me.

Yeshua, please smash the Synagouge of Satan’s lies!
What is this white nationalism bullsh*t?
the kkk people should be called “White Globalists”
Senator Kamala Harris and Georgia’s Stacey Abrams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two of the biggest whackjobs to ever run for office.
A true multicultural society wouldn’t be anti-white, but would include all, even whites, Christians and conservatives. As for pokyglot, people can speak whatever they want at home, but in the US, people should be able to speak English.
They wore racist out, this is their replacement word. As a bonus this one can only apply to white people.
All they need is Sheila Jackson Lee to complete the trifecta. :P
Where does she even get “polyglot majority”? Does she think black Southerners speak Spanish?
“Right now America is tearing itself apart as an embittered white conservative minority clings to power, terrified at being swamped by a new multiracial polyglot majority.”
Feminazis, black nationalists of the Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan sort, and others all demanding that “wypipo” be denied jobs and advancement and demand that they simply sit down, shut up, and suffer second class status because “it’s time” and “sins of the father” and all that rot strictly because of their skin color.
I call BS on her being denied entry. She needs to provide dates etc.
Apparently Stacey thinks she is DUE to be governor - sounds like somebody from 2016 who was already writing her pages in the history books.
Her racist gaurd story is a lie.
KKK = White Democrats
Bill Clinton excused past Democrats’ membership in the Klan saying that’s what it took to get elected then.

so no more gates? no more guards?
Even the NAACP checks for photo ID when attendees visit their gatherings.
When they admit that they want to replace us, pay attention.
Based on numerous NYTimes articles today, they have gone ALL IN for the Democrats. Not even bothering to pretend to be a neutral source anymore.
Yep BS story I’m sure. Just like Blasey Ford, I cant remember anything else except the big bad white man at the gate. Good grief. I’d Georgia elects her she will spend all her time starting her run for potus or vp.
I can’t tell from the portrayal that the guard was being racist. Did she bring an invitation letter with her? Was there a guest list? Was there a line of people going into the Governor’s mansion or was her family the only one?
