Conservatives say "you can be somebody." Liberals say "you should hate somebody." The latter mentality is exactly what we've seen play out in Ferguson and Baltimore. Black riots, dead cops at the hands of black youths, thugs memorialized as heroes and our first lady who's grown up privileged, gives a speech at Tuskegee University in front of more privileged blacks as if she just dried off after being hosed down by Democrat Bull Connor. Give me a break! Students who are inheriting a post-civil rights America have been conditioned to believe they're getting a pre-civil rights America thanks to our first black president and first lady.
In 2008 millions of whites cast their ballot for then Sen. Obama, hoping to eliminate racism in America. At the least, they purposed to convince the world they weren't racist and assuage their "white privilege," as taught to them by their liberal professors. In 2016 some of those same voters may stay home, disillusioned that race relations have worsened despite their efforts. Many Americans have grown weary of being penalized over skin color, and I'm not talking about blacks.
Consider the "Bradley effect"-- coined after Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley lost his 1982 mayoral race despite being ahead in the polls leading up to the election. For fear of retribution from the politically correct media, white voters told pollsters they were either voting for the black candidate or undecided. As always, the ballot box was honest. They didn't re-elect Tom Bradley! They lied! In hindsight, a presidential candidate that overplays the race card in 2016 outside of predominantly black districts could surge in the polls just to lose the election by disenfranchising white constituents.
Democrats hoped Obama's presidency would transcend race and politics. It hasn't! Not because Americans are racist or partisan but because our president is! What is often forgotten is that by 2012 nearly seven million fewer voters chose President Obama. I'm not B.B. King, but the thrill was gone! Under Obama's watch nearly 93,000,000 workers are out of the labor force. Food stamp recipients have nearly tripled since 2000, growing from approximately 17 million recipients to approximately 47 million today. If ISIS is indicative of Obama's foreign policy, it's fair to say "black riots" are indicative of his domestic failure. Obama has set race relations back so far even hippies are hoping to move on. This will be a difficult task for the DNC to overcome, particularly if Republicans frame the Democrats' next nominee as Obama's third term.
White Democrats voted for hope and change, not "black riots" and declining property values.
Baltimore is a microcosm of "progressivism" at its finest. School funding is third in the nation. One of five jobs are government jobs. Fifty percent or more of law enforcement is black. Yet crime is high, economic opportunity is low and its future is bleak. Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore's incompetent state attorney, is building a case against the officers she alleges are responsible for Freddie Gray's death for political expediency. Andrew McCarthy said it best in his column "Beware Baltimore's 'No Justice, No Peace' Prosecutor.":
"Competent prosecutors charge crimes only when there is evidence sufficient to prove that specific laws have been broken. A government lawyer who publicly asserts that her case was brought for the purpose of dousing inflamed passions, satisfying political agitators, or even easing real suffering undermines the prosecution. It's not just the wrong thing to do; it's the dumb thing to do."
Guilty verdicts are unlikely, therefore more rioting is likely! Baltimore residents will have no one to blame but Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Marilyn Mosby and their ideology that seeks to agitate rather than unify.
Americans nationwide watched as Baltimore police stood at the mercy of protestors who destroyed property and physically assaulted officers. Imagine if the roles were reversed. If cops marched shouting "no justice, no peace" and sitting by in their squad cars as robbers, looters, murderers and drug dealers roamed the streets free of consequence. Citizens of Baltimore would be rightfully outraged. They'd demand cops begin policing their community. As silly as this notion sounds, this is effectively what happened when Mayor Blake demanded her cops stand down.
Black progressives are working hard to make the white male an endangered species. Riots like Ferguson and Baltimore have only highlighted that fact. But recall the "Bradley effect."
In the privacy of a voting booth those that perceive they're being bullied or mistreated by politicians plot their revenge. Had the whites that voted for President Obama known that he'd turn the race card on them he'd still be a senator. Likewise, other race-baiters hoping to ascend to higher offices could be in for a rude awakening in 2016.
Given that an old white woman is running on the dem side, I would imagine many blacks will stay home.
Just the thought of Black Racism Fatigue will make me feel some more white guilt.
More so, the Democrat party platform can be summarized easily, as “The Seven Deadly Sins”. Each one of these is a voting bloc within their party, yet all Democrats revel in them, and strive to bring them about.
Vanity
Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
But even more, as a group they seek those things that reject good, and embrace evil.
At their last party convention they went so far as to deny God three times.
I cant imagine a lot of white people aren’t fed up with giving and giving and giving while getting spat on for their efforts.
We only need 3 or 4 percent to come to their senses.
Clinton no longer leads by 20 or 25 points.
She is either losing by 1 or leading by 3 or 4.
Her image is tarnished and Cruz would clock her in a debate.
Folks, this is VERY doable.
She will still pull a bunch if she continues to promise them the tax payer funded goodies.
A lotof whites abandoned the Democrat Party in 2014. It will only be worse in 2016.
I don’t believe there is any fatigue. Those who wallow in racism, victimhood, and hate will continue to do so. They are loving it, and they have lots of racist liberal company. Those who are indifferent to race, the conservatives who judge others by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, will continue to dismiss this concern because it is impossible for normal people to understand why a significant number of people still cares about race.
Hillary and the Liberals are done. They had their chance and screwed the pooch—Now its up to the GOP to lose this one—like they did with Mittens.
No they wont the will hop on the buss get a box lunch of popeyes chicken and a 50 dollar bill to vote for her
They can save the bucks and the greasy chicken: who needs actual voters anyway when you can just fraud it up in the ghettos?
On election night....
“This just in: with 1% of the vote counted in Philadelphia, the Hillary-Cockroach ticket has 175% of the vote while Cruz-Walker have negative 175%!”
Alex Jones show today : Black Lives Matter, trying to educate America on the lefts, abortionists war on blacks lives, Margeret Singer’s eugenics and the start of Plan Parenthood’s genocide of black baby’s.
2016 will be all about Economic Populism.
The Dems will win it by promising to punish bankers and forgive student loans.
The left keep pushing, and pushing not only with race, but with gender and sexual preference.
They will only get more desperate, shrill, ugly and the normal American public will start to push back, or tune them out.
They have pushed the envelope way to far.

It was for the 1982 governor race in California, not any mayoral race. Makes me wonder about the author’s grasp on facts.

Like your thinking on this subject.
And grammar.
Not really.
What? They love how she talks just like the. “Aww don’t feel noways tired. I’ve come too faarrr from where I started frum…
