Has the Democratic party become too obcessed with race? [View all]

[bart95]

My family have always been Democrats, and have always supported civil rights

I suppose we are Democrats in the model of Henry Wallace, a great progressive

As a child, I recall a very evenly ballanced focus on

- environment and resource sustainability
- wages
- support for middle and working classes
- anti-war (although LBJ needed a little work on that one)
- civil rights

but frankly, it feels like with support of free trade and open borders (both of which crush citizen workers) and willing to go along with warmongering (even if not openly instigating it), it seems like there is an obcession with race way beyond what it was when I was a kid, even now that racial slurs have all but been eradicated (even if there is still more progress to be made)

is the focus on race a smoke screen for selling out on so many other fronts?

ponder or flame, away!
