Of course, the collectivist mentality and the racist mentality are one and the same, so what do you expect from Democrats?

It's just the sort of idea that most Democrats would never consider since the power structure of identity politics would be bypassed. A focus on need rather than fostering competition and strife between representatives of divisions within the community. These representatives (Al Sharpton and Rev. Wrong) rely on discriminatory fielties and organizations for their livelyhood. Who really expects that the Democratic party can encourage improved race relations? What is happening now is endemic to their politic. -Their chickens are coming home to roost.
