GOP Will Continue To Frame Democratic Party As The Anti White Pro Brown/Black Party.

The GOP will continue to stoke racial hatred in the US. It has worked well since the passage of the Civil Rights law. They have OFx and RW hate media to continue to advance their cause. Until we can break that meme an show how absurd and wrong that is Democrats will have a hard time to win elections.

For all intense and purpose the Democrats should be able to win most elections. We have to combat race baiting every time is arises.

believe we just cater to minorities, gays and women. We need a message rooted in economic fairness for everyone as the main driver of progress and social justice.

8. Anti-whiteness, as it is dominant paradigm in power structures

Is not a bad thing to be. White peoples feelings get hurt over this because they tend to not examine the power structure of whiteness—that’s why all the angst and re-examining Trump voters. It’s not that BEING white is bad, it’s the blind thievery of the white and privileged—which is always on display. We just don’t look.

Trump won the electoral college. We won the popular.
Not sure that dynamic has changed
