Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) told left-wing activists at the Netroots Nation conference on Friday that the phrase “identity politics” was “pejorative” and should be rejected.
Harris had just told the conference that black women were not being given their due by the Democratic Party. She said it was “an uncomfortable truth” was that “the folks who helped build the Democratic Party and have been the backbone of the Democratic Party have not always been given equal voice in the Democratic Party, and we need to deal with that.” She went on to point out that black women had been critical to the party, as in Doug Jones’s victory last year in the special election for Senate in Alabama.

Instead of just thanking “women of color,” Harris said, “we should be electing them.”

She then went on to say:

Now, I am aware that some people would say that what I just said is plain “identity politics.” But, I have a problem, guys, with that phrase, “identity politics.” ‘Cause let’s be clear, when people say that, it’s a pejorative. That phrase is used to divide and it is used to distract. Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us. It is used to try and shut us up. Because, think about — think about when you’ve heard it raised: when we’re talking about race, when we’re talking about gender, when we’re talking about sexual orientation, when we’re talking about civil rights. And, yes, we’re talking about those issues. And we won’t be shut up. And we won’t be silenced. We won’t be silent about immigrant rights. We won’t be silent about a woman’s right to control her own body. We won’t be silence about equal opportunity and equal justice under the law.

Any thoughts on what she said Joe?

Yes, she is a victim, people of color are victims.
They should be elected by the color of their skin alone, like Obama. We all know how that worked out.
She also wants open borders and the right to kill unborn black babies.
Is that what you got out of it?

Idk if I agree. Seems to me black women have supported democrats as much as anyone... and it's fair to point out that they've gotten very little in return. Really not that different a pitch then Trumps making to the rust belt, only in this case more focused on black women who I'd expect are also thinking they system is failing them. Seems fairly mundane in today's sharply divided partisan political atmosphere.

If I were speaking of the realpolitik's, what I see this as being about is KH running for President in 2018. Have to think her chances become slimmer if Nancy Pelosi gets replaced before then by... say a women of color. What I read was her telling supporters to buckle down because it might be a while.
 
See post 16641

I just read it cuz I felt bad for you. You plainly have no friends or life, and spend all day alone at a computer monitoring the political section of a youth soccer forum. Weekdays, weekends, the middle of the night... you literally are always in here posting.

So Obama the great uniter didn't unite shit, right?
All he did is divide the country on purpose, that is what community organizers do.
Hopefully that social experiment is over with for good. Hopefully we won't make the same mistake with a woman or gay candidate.
Elect the best person and that obviously wasn't Obama or Hillary.

Well he certainly didn't unify you... as all your angry/ranty posting points out.
