“...even though their exclusionary racial views seem to run counter to the inclusionary racial diversity views of the Left.”
That the left of today stands against racial discrimination is a historical curiosity. The Progressives were racist. Marx and Stalin were raging anti-semites. Democrats of today aren’t opposed to discriminating against other sort of minorities. Just ask AIG.
Also, who was it that first stood against the slave trade and for racial equality, before the movement was ever radicalized? Devout Christians.
If these are your words Polarik then you also have things bass ackwards. The left has always been exclusionary with race, origin, religion, and class in this nation now and in the past. They act the same in other nations worldwide and have forever. The dems have been the party of racists and racism since their inception in 1800. Look at the founder of the party and his insisting that blacks and whites be treated differently in the Constitution or he would take the southern states and leave.
