[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4992768, member: 66082"] I am not a Democrat. Politics is all about identifying constituents based on who they are or their identity. Politicians discuss business owners, or farmers, or the middle class, or soccer moms, or blue collar voters, or college educated voters or etc. They say hey business owners tell me they want this or that policy, or to help middle class families, I support this policy or blue collar workers want to do this on trade policy etc and so on. Those are all group identities and politicans slice up those identities based on who they are and design policies help those groups. The reality is that being a woman or a man or a black American or a gay person or an immigrant or etc are also apart of people's political identities. How do Democrats play groups against one another? I barely remember Larry Elder, but what I do know about him from long ago is that he is anti-black. He has fully absorbed the message that there is something collectively wrong within the black race. So since the 1990's I was like that guy is an anti-black bigot. In terms of what the person who said that about him(if that really was said about him), I don't know and I don't care, but how does that pit one group against another? If a person thinks Larry Elder is racist against black people, isn't Larry Elder in their belief the one who is dividing people with identity politics when he says the anti black stuff he says?
