For a few hours on Saturday morning, I felt good about America. I was at a smallish rally in the Atlanta suburb of Riverdale, listening to Democratic politicians including Senator Kamala Harris and Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, who could become the first African-American female governor in American history. Abrams told a story she often repeats on the campaign trail, about being 17 and arriving at the governor’s mansion for a reception for Georgia’s high school valedictorians.
Her family didn’t have a car, and she described getting off the bus and walking with her parents along a driveway to a set of black gates. A guard approached, and she remembered him saying, “This is a private event — you don’t belong here.”
Though they were eventually let in, Abrams recalled little of the event itself. “The only clear memory I have of that day is a man standing in front of the most powerful place in Georgia, looking at me and telling me I don’t belong,” she said. “But with your help in 10 days we will open those gates wide!” The crowd stood, applauding and cheering, as Abrams said, “Because this is our Georgia!”
Right now America is tearing itself apart as an embittered white conservative minority clings to power, terrified at being swamped by a new multiracial polyglot majority. The divide feels especially stark in Georgia, where the midterm election is a battle between Trumpist reaction and the multicultural America whose emergence the right is trying, at all costs, to forestall.
Abrams’s goal is to put together a coalition of African-American and other minority voters and white liberals. The potential is there; Georgia is less than 53 percent non-Hispanic white. “Georgia is a blue state if everybody votes,” DuBose Porter, chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, told me.

Why, this is the very latest MSM smear and all the proggie Cool Kids are parroting it! It works like this: a white nationalist used to be someone who believed in an exclusively white nation, just as a black nationalist does for black people. Ah, but we'll just change the terms a bit such that anyone who happens to be white and loves his or her country is now a white nationalist! And no, that doesn't apply to black nationalists...
White Supremacist is another rather cheap rhetorical neologism. The lefty defines the U.S. as an irredeemably white-dominated state and so anyone who believes in his or her country is therefore a white supremacist! Cute, huh? And that one works even if one doesn't happen to be white.
They'd never get away with this sort of ludicrous Newspeak if there were honest media to call them on it. There aren't. And so here we are.
We’ve seen big-tech fire the white people and insist that they train their Indian replacements.
Atlanta, 1990 - she probably had to ride in the back of the bus to even get to the reception. /s
Journalists with Jewish names writing libels in the New York Times are the lifeblood of Nazis.

The Partisan Media Shill is reprehensibly, and probably irreparably, racist, sexist, and antidemocratic.

Leftists are upset these days with Los Angeles immigrant John Lydon/Johnny Rotten. A month ago Johnny was photographed peering out of his New Orleans hotel room wearing a MAGA shirt. And he’s gone on record saying that the biased press is dishonest in branding Donald Trump a racist.
Corey Booker’s friend T-bone was probably with her at the time.
the governor in 1990 was a Democrat. So it figures his staff would be racist.

“Georgia’s Stacey Abrams”
Who was born in Wisconsin, and raised in Mississippi.
Joe Frank Harris until 91'.
Apparently she got over her resentment of the democrat party denying her entrance.
And in 1990, the governor was Democrat Joe Frank Harris. Hmmm.
Abrams is very much like 0bama except without his self effacing humility, his basic honesty, and his respect for the Constitution
FAKE NEWS!
The fakest of fake news! Now the progs have dreamed up White Nationalism! In their fevered dreams only!
FAKE NEWS!
Note a small gathering
What on earth is “white nationalism”? Why don’t I see this? I see people of every color and creed making a living and getting on with their lives.
But we do want their money so we can use it to stay in power.
“...she remembered him saying, “This is a private event — you don’t belong here.”
Bullshit.
