"Bouie's complaint is that white liberals (like Jonathan Chait) -- despite their protestations and posturing -- don't take blacks seriously."

I fear that he'll draw the wrong conclusions from that observation, though. "We need to get more violent so that they have to notice us" or some such. There is a huge, welling anger just under the surface in this country right now, from many different things. I don't think it would take much of a spark to set it off. I don't recall any occasion in history where a 12% minority took on a 74% majority and won, especially where that majority was better-off economically, much better armed, controlled the energy and food supply and were closely allied with the other larger minority groups.

Caveat: that majority doesn't really control the military, and probably not most of LEO either. The current power brokers in DC are the avowed enemies of that majority.

Still, I mostly agree, as long as that majority isn't sabotaged by those in DC. Not a given.

I quite agree.

And part of that "huge, welling anger" is legitimately coming from blacks who are starting to realize that their party and their patrons, white liberals, really don't give a damn about them, save their vote.

Under the circumstances, I'd grant there could well be some misdirected violence. But I don't see anything that can be done about it, either.

Our culture today is a devil's brew concocted by liberals, for liberals -- and damn the consequences.

Hope for the best...prepare for the worst.
