Author Shelby Steele, expert on race relations in America says: (see below)

(Paraphrasing, not quoting) Liberals who are always playing the race card do so out of guilt, and from the need to 'prove' their own innocence. He says that Hillary Clinton offers them innocence. She tells them that she is innocent, and that if they join her, THEY in turn will become innocent....a sort of expiation of their racial guilt.

He says that in fact, the democrats and the liberals wish to create a "victim class", because only by "saving" the victims of a victim class can they acheive power. He says that black people are actually no better off today in terms of real freedom, as members of the democratic party than they were when they were enslaved, because they are being kept in the "victim class".

He says that more black people are opening their eyes and realizing that they are being lied to, so a new victim class has to be created: illegal immigrants.

The Walk Away Movement is getting stronger..The left is doubling down on keeping P C , Labeling , Their Maxine Waters type Heros and the Victimization Card alive ..it's becoming too much like a non paying job for younger folk ..heavy , weighty and depressing or anyone who can't sit back on their laurels like the elite dictators of the party can afford to.. the party is cannibalizing itself to the point where it'll take decades to repair. You can't have Unity if everybody is suspicious in some wrong doing

I think we need to discard the race card, and see people as people. We're all part of the human race, after all. 😌

Obama stirred up the race factor... congrats to him. He will go down in history as such...

I'd say this: many liberal politicians take advantage of marginalized groups by neither helping nor hurting them much, since they know they will get the vote of marginalized groups because the other party actively works against their interests, sometimes openly. So in other words, "Where are you gonna go? The Republicans actively hate you, and we just don't care." Democrats seem to be the party of the status quo.

@33person Hmm. Interesting point of view. I do think that there is a lot of desperation in the democratic party right now, and they have begun to rely on maintaining or creating a 'victim' class of people who feel that they only way they can thrive is to support democrats.

Personal empowerment means tossing the Victim Card into the garbage can.

@cherokeepatti There you go, Patti. Common sense and the ability to think for oneself instead of parrotting others...

If this goose Shelby Steele, a so called expert on race relations in America happens to mention Hillary Clinton and innocence in the same sentence, he is full of bullshit

@nedkelly He was basically saying she is the one full of bullshit...LOL!!!

Do you think most POC think they're better off now or in the days of slavery?
Because one black man playing to a conservative audience isnt representative.

@DarkMoon But slavery IS still in force. It may be a different form of slavery but it's still slavery. I didn't make this up, I heard it from a black man. Actually, I've heard it from a lot more than one black man. A lot of blacks are waking up. dimwits know this as evidenced by the leaked email by jenifer palmiere to major dimwit players in 2016. She said that hispanics are their future political security because they're losing the blacks. If you're a dem you know you have to have an ignorant underclass.
DarkMoon · 22-25, M
@katielass You would advise a black friend to vote for a candidate endorsed by the Klan?
4meAndyou · F
@DarkMoon Yeah, that bit the big one, didn't it? But when push comes to shove, you have to look at actions. It's super hard to overcome media frenzy, and it's even more hard to ignore David Dukes attachment to Trump. I wonder if David Duke knew then what he knows now if he would still feel the same way. Overall, I think the job situation for blacks is a win-win. Now if someone....anyone...could kill off the Sinaloa cartel in Chicago, it would stop being little Columbia and more young black men would be alive today.
