Bankole: All white lineup and liberal hypocrisy

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/op...tion/34147571/

The left is tripping over their identity politics here in Michigan. The Michigan Dem party will be fielding an all white slate of candidates in the upcoming election cycle for state government. It's really got the some folks PO'd.

Democrats know very well that the white slate that emerged out of Cobo Center after a contentious April 15 convention is not reflective of their base, and that it represents an insult to black voters who have loyally remained the soul of the party for decades. The fact that a party that parades itself as a paragon of diversity and inclusion will now head into the fall election with a ticket that smacks of political regression and indignity, not future growth, is unacceptable.

Time and time again, the party has always turned to blacks to rescue them in crucial electoral battles. But what do they get in return?

White liberal politicians who have gone on to seek higher office have always sought the black vote to catapult them to the pinnacle of political power. Yet when it comes to simply matching their actions with the political rhetoric of diversity that they sell in black churches when canvassing for votes, they drop the ball.


Yikes!
