The Democrats’ presidential candidate must attract the full ninety percent of the black vote to win the White House. Even a small drop may spell disaster on Election Day. Democrat leaders subconsciously realize that this minority community must be constantly radicalized. They fear contented and hopeful black voters. Any serious candidate who is also a “person of color” like “Barry” Obama must therefore go along with the scheme.

Only the Republicans realistically offer the hope of a “post racial” America. The Democrats are a bunch of losers. A center right black man would easily win the presidential contest. The Democratic Party is committed to race card politics—perhaps even existentially. This mindset is so firmly established that the Democrats may no longer even be able to imagine another approach. Race hustling might now be part of their political DNA.
