21. The only identity politics centered on race is wrong, and encouraging this

is more wrong.....just because it is old, doesn't make it the right thing. That's like saying that murder has been around forever, so why not?

Justifying identity politics is exactly something that one would want to discourage. That's why, until Hillary felt otherwise, Democrats have encourage that folks vote their financial interest and not this value/culture shit.

Hillary Clinton has done much to take us back in time and has made racial divisions cool again. For that, I'll never forgive her.
