I doubt Ta-Nahesi Coates is popular with the readers of this blog, but at least his attacks on Bernie's stance on race relations were out of misguided identity politics principles, not to get a woman who proudly supported three strike laws and the destruction of welfare elected.<br /><br />It's worth remembering the difference in how Bernie and Hillary handled BLM protesters at their events. Maybe Bernie could win over James with some superficial patronizing outreach towards the black community, like keeping hot sauce in his pocket and hosting a Hov and Beyonce concert as a GOTV operation.<br /><br />http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/what-is-ethno-nationalism/<br /><br />Gene Callahan had a pretty good piece in The American Conservative about how ethno-nationalism in America does not need to be white nationalist, pointing out that black workers are also getting screwed by immigration driving down wages. Heck, as Callahan notes, the descendants of slaves have been Americans longer than most Americans who descend from European immigrants.SHNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-88309095474153468022016-11-29T13:10:06.182-08:002016-11-29T13:10:06.182-08:00Quite right.

Bernie and anyone who is a "protectionist"* is a racist became they would undermine trade agreements that offer employment opportunities to people outside the US. So because Bernie isn't proactively trying to make life better for people in Vietnam that means he doesn't care about them and is a white supremacist.<br /><br />*Neoliberals tend to accuse anyone with any skepticism of current trade agreements as being a protectionist. The term has been watered down and often the party accused doesn't even want a tariff regime. Lukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07277134451848581852noreply@blogger.com
