So I think what you're saying--and I agree wholeheartedly--is this; For the white male Union voter with well defined goals to succeed in obtaining those goals, it is crucial to obtain Black votes for the Democratic Party. They will also need the Latino vote. And the vote of women. In other words, stop tossing Black people under the bus in the name of "economic justice" and understand they couldn't even hold on to their own economic justice-- I would go as far to say as a result of treating minority or disenfranchised voters concerns and social injustice problems as secondary-- despite significant activism in these groups -- and we see the result of this. Loss of power, loss of influence. This is a side effect of racism that isn't talked about nearly enough.
