The Problem With Bernie & Trump

Both men thrive off of white identity politics, whilst at the same time telling others to “Just Be American”.

By encouraging the minimization of other people’s interest/identity; the white-identity by default becomes THE established identity.
These men are not opposed to “identity politics” — they just want it be THEIR identity.

Why?

Because it gives them the power to define OUR national identity, our national narrative.
“Oh, Honeys, hush. We can’t be touching all ‘em negro issues too much! We be diverse now. We done made it to that ol’ mountaintop, your lovely negro minister King talked about.”

All that ethnic identity scares us white folk!

Nigg** Just be American!

Just be colorblind.
REALLY, now, Miss Daisy. Oh, lord, you diverse, now! Must be nice. Looking swag. Colorblind, too, Lord Miss Daisy. You sure? ‘Cause you had slavery for a long time Miss Daisy — and NOW you diverse & “colorblind”.

Look at Miss Daisy.
I tell you...

Ain’t that something.
They are not opposed to “identity politics, they are just indifferent to identities that don’t compliment their assumed racial superiority, their “lily-white” narrative, their white-power.
They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they.

The Case for Inclusive Conservatism

“If Diversity is good enough for God, it should be be good enough for Conservatives.”

From before the 1600’s to the 1960’s - the law - favored one racial identity (white) over another (black).

#BlackConservativeMovement will NEVER cede or minimize our dissimilar identity for lily-white-progressivism or her vile sister “lily-white” Conservatism!

Not going to happen ...

We will NOT yield our identity to your delusions.
