Good! Keep them thinking they can win elections by cobbling together “coalitions of color”. It’s a sure-fire formula for continued losses.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Steve Phillips is a racist.

Don’t blacks know that voting is acting white?

[Red Badger]

Accroding to the Census Bureau, Virginia is 80% white, 19% black...............

[Mariner]

I sure hope they focus all their efforts on the voters “of color”.

[bk1000]

They really want black against white? What a shock that would be....for them!

[Avalon Memories]

So what is this imbecile saying? That Democrats no longer need or want a coalition that includes white people? Good luck with that since whites comprise about 72% of the US population. Granted that some percentage of them are Leftists, but if they are excluded from the coalition, their votes don’t go to Democrats. All the other race/ethnic groups combined don’t add up to 30% of the US population,and they are mostly concentrated in urban centers. Go ahead, Democrats, revel in your identity politics to the exclusion of most Americans. We might finally begin to turn the tide against Leftist crap.

Harvey Pervberg sure seemed to have an obsession with young white actresses.

[CodeJockey]

That’s exactly what this Myeshia Johnson/Frederica Wilson sordid ordeal is all about. Attempting to motivate black voters to get out and vote against non Democrat candidates.

Only problem is that it’s probably good for 5 points for the conservative/ Republican candidate.

Despicable what they did, and people with a brain know the truth and won’t forget.

Ms Clinton did not receive even 50% of the vote in Virginia. This analysis is nuts.

[Albion Wilde]

Much of the progressive movement and many progressive campaigns are still dominated by White leadership, fixated on White voters.

They speak as if two-thirds of the nation should just go away and die, never to vote or hold office again.

[Alas Babylon!]

If every person of color who voted for Hillary Clinton in Virginia last year turns out to vote in Virginia’s gubernatorial contest on November 7, Democrat Ralph Northam could win without getting a single vote from a white person. Not one.

LOL! Really???

Not one? Steve, you need some lessons in math.

From Wikipedia:

Virginia Ethnicity			Non-Hispanic White	62.7%	Black or African American	19.7%	Hispanic or Latino (of any race)	9.0%	Asian	6.5%	American Indian and Alaska Native	0.5%

The headline and much of the writing is completely misleading - probably to attract clicks for the author and the magazine.

Bottom Line...

“In Virginia...there are at least 900,000 reliably Democratic white voters...”

[stylin19a]

Math is hard for Steve.

If all the white voters who voted for Trump vote for Gillespie, and Steve's dream comes true and no whites vote for Northam, Northam gets creamed.

[Jim Noble]

In Virginia, Democrats don’t need any white votes

OK then.

[bluejean]

So in the alternate reality magical thinking cartoon world of the hate whitey democrats, they don’t think they even need white votes anymore? Awesome. This just gets more entertaining in a morbidly fascinating way. Maybe they’ll decide voting is too white, as things like math, science, reading and thinking are to them now.

They want to throw out civilized man and go back to savagery, apparently, based on all thier recent behavior. If it comes down to brains vs. neanderthal in the end, the Dindunuffins will be mighty disappointed.

[Mr Rogers]

He obviously needs to go back to school and study percentages...although I’ve been reading, and apparently math is the domain of white supremacists.

[Note: Are ANY whites NOT white supremacists? From what I’ve read, it is 100%. Just ask Jesse Jackson.]

[JimRed]

Isn’t The Nation one of the voices of U.S. communists? Do they really think that POC in Virginia are really going to stay home in droves, or even less likely, vote R? It’s misdirection.

[snarkytart]

We don’t care about old RINO Ed. If he wins, he does if not oh well. either way VA will have a liberal Gov.

[libertylover]

most Democratic strategists and donors overlook and undervalue voters of color in general and African-American voters in particular

Absolute nonsense! Democrats totally pander to blacks. If black voters wised up and changed their voting from 90%+ Democrat down to 80% Democrat the Democrats would never win another election.
