The Problem With Republican Outreach Efforts: White Identity Politics

Despite claims to the contrary: The Republican Party already caters to a wide range of identity movements (example: Southern Baptist wing of Evangelicalism) and they just so happen to be overwhelmingly white.

So, when they say that they're tired of hearing about identity politics, they are being disingenuous.

How? Because they are one of the biggest promoters of it.

It would be like CitiBank saying they're tired of Capitalism.

The party will never win a majority of minorities (Blacks, Asians, Jews, Muslims, Arabs) because their interest groups (largely white) need a safe-space, and they don't like to share their safe-space with identities that don't conform to their Lily White narrative of reality.

Around election time you have "colorblind" Rubio minority types who write articles about why "The Party Needs Asian Voters"

nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/…

How many articles can one write before one is wiling to acknowledge the elephant in the room: "Lily White" Identity Politics?

I'm going to read the article! But, I do wonder if this strain of new-immigrant-color-blind-Rubio-Cruz-conservatism can really be like Black Conservatism and look Lily White Conservatives into their face and say without apology: You are the problem.

Black Conservatives can no longer wait for them to get their shit together.

We must not sit 'round and wait for them or their new colorblind ethnic just off-the-boat apologist.

We must build, NOW.
We must BUILD our own Black Conservative institutions, NOW!

Let their cruelty, their fakeness, and their indifference be the spark that forces us to lay our buckets down where we are. Let's build a BOLD & BLACK an unapolgetic conservative counter to Black Progressivism, Colorblind & Lily White Conservatism, neither of whom represents us.

It's why I've always said.

We need a BLACK conservative think-tank that's not controlled by Lily White Conservatives, a Think-Tank advancing race-conscious-inclusive conservatism, that accurately represents the black-lived reality, even if it isn't a reality shared by others.

Why "The Party Needs Asian Voters" why "The Party Needs Black Voters"... blah blah.

Party needs to tell members of it's lily-white-base that it's their indifference, racist and xenophobic behavior that is a major factor for why minorities (all ethnicities) leave the party.

Unfortunately, party will become a more white party -- potentially could (officially) become a white-nationalist party. All because they won't tell them what they need to hear. Who is going to tell them --- Candace Owens, Colorblind weak Rubio & wobbly Cruz?

I don't think so.

A race-conscious Black Conservatism (Your Tim Scotts) would start sounding the alarm.

It certainly wont be Rush Limbaugh or the others who are just too colorblind or racist or too stupid, indifferent to see the danger coming.

But should that happem (and pray, pray it doesn't) America (our world) will be in big trouble.

White Supremacy and people's indiffernce to it will destroy this country.

The global fallout will be massive..

It's difficult to imagine this, but this one party has alot of power.

Do not underestimate its potential to rival even the NAZIS should it ever decide to.
