...conflicts based on race/faith/ethnic/political conflicts....

Precisely. Conflicts based on conflicts are merely the perpetuation of hollow grievances. You are speaking out of sentiment, not intellect.

The potential conflict envisioned by the author has nothing to do with race, faith, ethnic or political concerns. He is positing a ridiculous position, namely, when the checks stop the slaves will revolt.

In the first place the checks stopped 15 years ago when welfare recipients were required to work. There was no revolt, only an increase in people moving from dependence to independence.

In the second place beggars do not revolt when people stop dropping coins in their cups. They get help in the form of a job or a better grift.

There will be no riots when the anointed one loses. There will be a sigh of relief from black citizens that the madman who has saddled them with his ugly image is gone.

You seem unable to distinguish between a gradual, guided change in lifestyle and a near-instantaneous loss of all means of support.
