(34,648 posts)Knowing that my issues are derided among his support as wedge issues and identity politics is what sealed the deal.
Telling us we'd do well to listen? You'd do better by listening to us since without us Hilkary wins. I understand that it us difficult to give up a position of percieved authority to the people who actually own their own selves and votes. Hard not to have a say in the way others operate.
The black community got poorer? Oh? So now people care? Where were all these concerned individuals the last 30 years?
My interest is to not let the type that call black issues 'identity politics' have any extra support from anybody i can sway against them. If people think they can talk down to us and paternalize, they can do it by themselves. We can take our vote to a respectful space.
