Demonrat party operatives have been persuading non-thinking voters of ALL races for decades.
To: Evil Slayer
Both men were initially determined to win back the white working-class majority, but both currently advocate a revised Democratic alliance in which whites without college degrees are effectively replaced by well-educated socially liberal whites in alliance with the growing ranks of less affluent minority voters, especially Hispanics. Non-union working-class whites are in competition with minorities for the same working-class jobs, and are disproportionately affected by affirmative action rules.

America will be truly divided - and by race.
Let all pretense of union be forgotten.
Get ready for violence.

professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists All capital-consuming occupations. Not a one contributes a penny to the wealth of the nation. Combine those with the poor and the destitute and you have an even clearer indication (if you needed one) that the Democrats are now officially the party of the parasite class.

20 years ago I poo-pooed the idea of a civil war within the United States.
Now I just think it’s only a matter of time. The die has already been cast.

When we have 2 parties primarily defined by race there will be racial violence.
Every political issue will become defined by race.
Every disagreement will be racist.

educational attainment .....artists,... social workers, teachers and therapists
LMAO!
Since when have these types of people attained, or even sought some kind of notable educational achievement?

All pretence of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.I've heard this before. This was the strategy of Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign. It didn't end well for Mondale.

Wasn’t the poltical wiz Bob Beckel the campaign manager/strategist for Mondale?

When we have 2 parties primarily defined by race there will be racial violence. So you're saying that our side will become primarily defined by race? It's true that the other side has long been evolving into something of that description, but I hardly think that our side is.
Let me cut to the chase here. When a black conservative reads a statement like the one I first responded to, a small alarm goes off in their head. The potential for taking friendly fire is a real concern for people like me. If the SHTF, right thinking blacks are going to be at great risk in the fight, if the lines are being defined primarily by race.
I don't expect you to have the answer, but the scenario you pose is of life and death concern for some people.
