Candidates aspiring to take over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee met Monday night to discuss what went wrong in 2016 and how to get the party back on track.

Early into the event the candidates gravitated toward a particular scapegoat for the party’s poor showing in November: Political consultancies owned by white people.

“We have to stop, particularly with the consultants,” said the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Jaime Harrison. “You cannot come to the DNC and get a contract and the only minority face you have is the person answering the phone.”

Minority consultants “need to get the same resources that the white consultants have gotten,” said a Fox News analyst and candidate for the chairmanship, Jehmu Greene. "The DNC did a piss poor, pathetic job" attracting minorities, she said.

Democrats must provide “training” that focuses in part on teaching Americans “how to be sensitive and how to shut their mouths if they are white,” urged the executive director of Idaho’s Democratic Party, Sally Boynton Brown, who is white.

The event’s moderator, MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid, asked the candidates how the party should handle the Black Lives Now movement.

The candidates uniformly emphasized that the party must embrace the activists unreservedly.

“It makes me sad that we’re even having that conversation and that tells me that white leaders in our party have failed,” Brown said. “I’m a white woman, I don’t get it. … My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.”

“This is life and death” she emphasized. “I am a human being trying to do good work and I can’t do it without y’all. So please, please, please, get ahold of me. Sally at we-the-dnc.org. I need schooling so I can go school the other white people.”

Another candidate said black Americans are now living with “justified fear” of being killed after Donald Trump was elected president.

Raymond Buckley, the chairman for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, told a story about how, in the midst of “grieving” on Election Day, he received a call from his black niece, who feared for her life after Trump’s victory.

“It’s not just certain parts of the country,” he said. “That fear is all across the country. It’s even in rural new Hampshire. So when people say black lives matter, you are damn right they matter.”

Asked whether they would agree to work with President Trump, the candidates agreed they would never do so, which drew some applause from the otherwise quiet crowd at George Washington University.

DNC Chair Candidates Bash White People in Racially-Charged Forum

Can you be just a teensy bit more nuanced?

With the defeat of the Left in the last presidential election, the defeat of the Left in two-thirds of the gubernatorial elections and in a majority of House and Senate elections, this is likely the last chance liberals, conservatives, and the Right have to defeat the American Left. But it will not happen until these groups understand that we are fighting for the survival of America no less than the Union troops were in the First Civil War

Oh man, do I want to give little Denny a big hug!

On the bright side, at least he lumps old kalm in with the conservatives and the right...

That's because racial oppression liberators and SJWs want a lecture and not a conversation. You can't have a productive conversation about anything where you don't see eye to eye when you want to start with the premise that you're right. That's something we we're supposed to learn in elementary school.

FFS.

Leftists want to lecture on EVERY topic.

Climate change? Lecture.
Abortion? Lecture.
GLBT rights? Lecture.
Race relations? Lecture.

You name it, they'll lecture you on it. It's what they do.

And what's the deal with that white woman? “I’m a white woman, I don’t get it. … My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.” Shut the hell up. Your job isn't to shout down opinion. That makes you worse than what you're rallying against.


Oh, and refusing to work with the President is down right hypocritical and childish. Republicans and Democrats should work with Trump. Like him or not, he's the guy. Deal with it.

As noted many times: The proportion of the population composed of non White people is inexorably increasing. In the long term it's the Republicans that need to worry.

And BTW Trump got a lower percentage of the vote than Romney did in 2012. The problem the Democrats had this time is that they stuck with someone who was foolish enough to use a private e mail server while she was Secretary of State to handle her official e mail and so ended up being under a cloud of FBI investigation during the election. That and the fact that the Russians for some reason decided to intervene on the side of the Republicans.
