Column: Economic and racial anxiety are two separate forces driving support for Donald Trump

Among many other topics, respondents were asked whether they were struggling economically — or whether they were comfortable and moving up. They were also asked whether they thought it was more of a problem that African-Americans and Latinos are "losing out because of preferences for whites" or whether whites are "losing out because of preferences for blacks and Hispanics." The survey asked this question in order to gauge the sentiment that racial and ethnic groups don't just feel they are facing difficulties in general, but that those losses are being caused by other group's gains.

Obama is the one who has exacerbated racial anxiety, for pity’s sake. Not Trump, nor his supporters.

Ten years before he opened his campaign for the presidency (or in his case, the _residency, or the pres__ency), Barack Obama told us on the record what he really thought of white people, in a university talk to a general audience in 1997. Quote, "There is no such thing as a 'good' white person."

This in reply to a student's question after the main talk was over, in which Obama revealed what FMD had taught him years before, in the early 1980's, about how bad white people are. This was standard Communist Party boilerplate aimed at the black community, where the Communists had been recruiting vigorously since 1919 and before, vigorously enough to draw a reference in Ralph Ellison's 1948 classic, The Invisible Man.

This line about white hatefulness was shown in the 1960's to be part of the standard Communist repertory of billboard issues, when Communist "intellectual" Susan Sontag issued the defi, in 1966 in a major newsweekly, "The Caucasian race is the cancer of the planet." She, of course, as a Jew, being conspicuously Caucasian herself. (Way to throw your own people under a bus for the Cause, Susan. Forward!!)

It depends whether or not he implements and supports the left’s current drive for racial hate doctrines and racial preferences or not.

If he denounces the Left’s race hate and divide game for power and gets rid of it in the Just-Us department, he’ll do a lot for bringing color blind and equality policies and narratives back into the public square.

Again:

Islam’s binding theology to kill Christians and Jews and convert their nations to shari’a law is not a race.

Illegal and criminal entry is not a race.

Objecting to these behaviors, which are practiced by peoples of many races, is not racism. Nor is is “because” of racsim.
