Wall Street Journal deputy editorial page editor Bret Stephens told CNNs' Fareed Zakaria that Donald Trump's campaign is "increasingly a vision of the privileges of a white ethnic bloc." Stephens warned Trump has turned the Republican party into the "white party" and is doubtful the it can reclaim the principle of opportunity and the "right to rise" following a Trump loss.

What Trump’s tax deduction for childcare does is also further erode mother-at-home and grandparent childcare. That is because more daycare for the lower to middle classes will, with this subsidy, look cost effective.

I continue to be appalled and disgusted!

Trump has turned the Republican party into the “white party”

Never heard that accusation before Trump.

Well, when the DNC became the White People Are Bad party, where else was there for whites to go?

Frankly, we need a party that looks out for white interests, which our leaders seem to enjoy selling off for political gain. Keeping the playing field level isn’t racism, or at least it should be considered as such.

Let’s see:

If you are merely white, you have some weird privelege. Like Michael Jordan, Shaq, Beyonce, Sam Jackson, Don Cheadle, Denzel, Kerry Washington(I’d hit that), Taraji Henson(Hit it twice), Angela Basset(Hit that forever), Halle Berry(Hit it til I got sick of her), Angela Bassett(Shower her with attention always)

Great. Now my original thought makes not sense because I wish I looked as good as Denzel and Slept with just one of the beautiful women on this list.

Did I mention they were black? Oh, must’uh forgot.

Oh, that’s right...I don’t like black people because, I think of people in terms of first names, similar or shared interests, find them interesting, blah, blah, blah....

Identifying someone by their race objectifies them. Which, if you are a criminal, is a marker for identification.

But, if you are making friends, you don’t invite the black guy.

You invite your friend, who has a first name. Probably has parents, like you and may even like to participate in the same activities you enjoy, which makes them just another guy.

The women, on the other hand, are just fantastic...and crazy...

That is a scurrilous, low-down attack by one of the leading Chickenhawk Neo-Cons whose idiotic policies have led to so much death and destruction and has all but destroyed the Republican Party.

Bret Stephens should be ostracized, shunned, and ridiculed at every opportunity by patriotic Americans everywhere.

Heaven forbid that the white majority has anyone to represent them. If the Republicans do become the "white party" it is because the Democrats have clearly abandoned them and made themselves the party of the non-white minorities.

Lies, lies - and more lies.

HILLARY is the model of white privilege - off the blood & sweat of the poor and middle class and blacks!

Trump is an example of a businessman whose success has benefited thousands upon thousands of blue-collar workers - and Hillary has not only never helped one blue-collar worker - she has caused much harm to many - e.g. - the coal industry.

Lies - all lies.

But then - that’s all liberals do........

Thank you. This election cycle has exposed many people for what they are. An “independent” is for Clinton and he told me his reasons. I mentioned to him that he is a liberal and needs to break from that “independent” label since there isn’t one issue in which he is a conservative or even a centrist. I cited how he is close to Bernie Sanders in beliefs and his response was “What’s wrong with that?!” I said “He is a socialist not an independent.” Again, the person was muted.

The GOP has never pandered to whites. Certainly not to the extent the Rats have to blacks and homos.

Everything costs twice what it did seven years ago. Which is curious because as soon as you buy anything it is immediately worth half what you paid...

Actually it is the Criminal Queen’s campaign that has increasingly become a vision of the visceral hatred she and her cabal of Leftists have for America’s Constitutional Republic.

” Mr. Stephens’ background reeks of “privilege”. Neo-Con scum. “

Neocons have always agreed with the Left that America will be much better when whites are finally a minority.

When ‘Boomers when growing up Americans were 88% white. Blacks were 10%, “other” was just 2%.

Today, white Americans are down to maybe 64% of the population and falling due to the massive 3rd world immigration, legal and illegal, that began in 1965.

Well I hope that once the mulatto-who-looks-black current president is out of office, TV commercials will be more truthful and less “diverse” and dishonest. For Pete’s sake, we have about 11% black population in the U.S., but TV commercials show about 75% black actors. And the blacks are the smartest ones, the most competent, the law-and-order people (while the whites are criminals).

Stephens was born in New York City, the son of Xenia and Charles J. Stephens, a former vice president of General Products, a chemical company in Mexico. His parents were both secular Jews. His paternal grandfather had changed the family surname from Ehrlich to Stephens...

One of the usual self-hating suspects ....

” The notion underlying this nonsense, now but barely suppressed, is that white people are evil. So what should be done with this evil, “ethnic bloc?” Concentration camps? Extermination? “

Drown them in a flood of 3rd world immigration. It’s been the policy of neocons, Bush Republicans and other fellow travelers of the hate America Left.

That’s why they have refused to deport the millions of illegals that transformed California and will fight to death to keep them here and give them amnesty.
