Re: NP - Fuck You and Your “Democrats Have to End Identity Politics to Win” Bullshit

[David Morris]

Are you deaf to the point that all these dozens of anti identity politics
critiques are FUCKING STUPID?  "Identity" criticism is ALL about offending
the white poor minority because of inclusion politics.  It is that simple.
They are afraid that minorities are getting more help than them.  Anti
identity politics is all about misplaced resentment of others'
advancement.  It is the white hillbilly resenting the Cadillac queen.
