Inside the rise of the multiracial right
New york times ^ | 24th July 2025 | Daniel Martinez Hosang

For decades, the dominant assumption has been that people-of-color in the USAwould find their natural political home within the Democratic Party. The nation’s growing racial and ethnic diversity seemed to ensure the left’s electoral future.

I have been studying the movement of nonwhite voters to the right for 15 years. When we began this work, people like Mr. Gibson were often disdained by liberals as dupes of the right voting against their own interests, votes they would regret once they saw their conservative beliefs in action.

But seven years later, Mr. Gibson seems to be much less of an anomaly. Mr. Trump nearly doubled his support among Black voters from 2020 to 2024, won some 40 percent of the Asian American vote, and took almost half of the Latino vote. Many of those I have spoken with recently — students, lawyers, mechanics, pastors and others — sounded strikingly similar to Mr. Gibson. Angry at a system they contend is indifferent to their lives, they express ideas that were once seen only on the far-right fringe. ...

Orlando Owens, black minister " A lot of Black people have already heard the promises from the Democrats. And nothing was delivered.”

...Cindy Werner, black, 65 "The policies that the Republican party supports - pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - were in our household already" ... They’re rejecting the Democrat leadership because of how they’re running our communities.

... Shana Gray, a cafe owner in Milwaukee, told me how frustrated she had become with Democrats in her community. “‘Oh, just give us your vote.’ That’s all we heard,” she told me. “There was no action behind that"

..."When I ask my friends, what do you think of President Trump? They are all pretty satisfied.”

Nancy Yu Law, 53, is a business owner.

Erik Ngutse, 33, is a community engagement director for the Wisconsin Republican Party and an immigrant from Rwanda: “it was something about when Hillary Clinton ran for office that I think I started realizing that a lot of the values that I truly believed in were more on the conservative side. I absolutely despised her idea that she already owned the Black vote, that she didn’t really have to do anything."

Shawna, cafe owner " For many, many years we have voted Democratic, but we have nothing to show for that other than the continued fight for civil rights. I am tired of fighting"

Allen Chin, 51, is the owner of a charter boat business: “I was an Obama voter. I was fooled by his rhetoric...People automatically assume that people of color should be Democrats. They need to open their eyes to what’s really happening in this country. It doesn’t matter what color you are. You know what your background is. You should be standing for the side that’s for this country.”

The “assumption” was that the racist Democrats would keep so-called minorities on the Democratic plantation through direct cash payments. Lyndon Baines Johnson said privately “We’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years”. They purposefully created tribalism in America, in order to increase racial strife, not lessen it.

You can see the timeline in action, those with long memories. As a society we went from sensible ideas such as “Don’t pre-judge people based on the color of their skin or national origin” and “treat everyone equally” to “Whitey needs to Die” in about 30 years. How did that happen?

On the heels of Mr. Obama’s sweeping victory in 2008, the Democratic Party saw the multiracial coalition that elected him as a virtual electoral guarantee

Voters like Tammy Li in San Francisco, whose frustrations with the Democrats stem from the break-ins and shopliftings at the 7-Eleven franchise she owned there, began engaging with the right-wing social critique once she found herself in Republican circles. “I’m a minority myself,” she told me, “but just because you’re L.G.B.T.Q., you have more rights over my rights?”

At the same time they destroyed black families with welfare.

In the 50s and 60s, black people had higher rates of intact marriages than whites. Now 70% have broken homes.

Hey, she had a purse full of hot sauce and could say " I Don't Feel No Ways tired" in a black accent. What more do you want?

Well, what are they fighting for? Minorities have full civil rights. But acknowledging that fact takes the power away from the race hustlers. And they’re committed to fighting for themselves and their expensive tastes.

“Multiracial” sounds better than “multicultural” but it still seems a bit racist to me.

“Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963... “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I’ll have them n*ggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years”.”

This should have been the first clue why blacks should have voted Republican.

Yes it does. It takes the left to notice race. The right has been quite colorblind for quite a while.

Yes, but you will never hear this statement reported. As long as the media is in cahoots with the swamp it is an uphill battle. we can still win but there will be a body count and it needs to be the left that feels the blowback.

Finally leaving the plantation. Where they’ve been told for decades by the dems that they aren’t capable of succeeding without dems giving them help. 🐂💨💩

Black people destroyed the black family. They didn't have to buy into the Dem swill, but they did hook, line and sinker. All of the pathologies in the so-called black community are perpetrated by blacks themselves.

For many years I have wondered why some minority groups don’t take offense at the insults from the Democrat Party. “You people are too stupid, lazy or inept to get an ID, but we’ll make sure you can vote anyway. We know you can’t compete with the rest of the population without special assistance, but we will give you preference.” At some point, the disrespect will exceed the promised benefits.

Many of them are members of the Middle class and they own their businesses. Also, they hate the "woke" crap by the Democratic Party.

"The right has been quite colorblind for quite a while."

If only that were true... Then, the majority of all Americans would vote Republican.

But, as evidenced on this forum, some of the most vocal people on the Right are just as racist as the Left. That kind of talk chases voters away.

This is true. That is why the spook agencies have always used the black community as a “proving ground” for whatever dystopian destabilization techniques they are experimenting with. Prison inmates, ghettos, and also University campuses actually.

A huge prosperous middle class, regardless of race, has to be destroyed. This is the stark contrast between the free market nations and the shithole countries. The absence of a “middle class”.

The communists really, really hate the middle class too. I’m not sure why, but they do. Part of it is wealthy people feel guilty about not being born poor, and then annoy the poor by trying to help them.
