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.

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.
