Only a minority of black and Hispanic call themselves liberal. Moreover, the liberal surge is driven primarily by college-educated white progressives — the exact people who occupy the commanding heights of American media, the academy, and pop culture.
This white-liberal surge dovetails with other data, including the comprehensive “Hidden Tribes” study identifying left-wing polarization as being primarily driven by a “progressive activist” class that is disproportionately white, disproportionately college-educated, and disproportionately secular. The secularization of white Democrats is obvious from other sources as well. Pew Research Center data indicates that only 32 percent of white Democrats believe in the God of the Bible, compared to 61 percent of nonwhite Democrats and 72 percent of Republicans. White Americans are to the left of black Americans even on racial issues.
And, again, white progressives aren’t just any American constituency. They’re the most culturally powerful people on the planet.
This increasingly rapid secularization and liberalization makes national unity far more difficult. There are times when progressives can win and yet get more angry. Take, for example, same-sex marriage. If you had told American culture warriors ten years ago that the gay marriage issue would be so settled that no serious GOP candidate would attempt to overturn it and that a prominent gay American would address the GOP convention, they might have been tempted to conclude that the culture wars were on the wane, that Americans were coming together on the most important issues of faith and family.

All progressives are the disease! Option E is the cure!!
Progressives of every color are polarizing the country...its what they do.
I see Trump winning a record number of minority voters...
Well if black people just barely scraping by in the Chicago projects are going to follow the lead of a white progressive from the faculty lounge who claims to be a Cherokee, what are you gonna do?
Black America has given away their voice to rich, white politicians. Even the CBC does what the rich, white Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer tell them to do.

The leftists indoctrination centers we call colleges have been turning out mindless robots that think they know how everyone should live for 30 years.
Idiots like Frenchfry are also undercutting America with their neverTrump crap.
If Kamala Harris is the Dem candidate, I expect a lot of black women who sat out in 2016 will come to the polls. I’m not sure enough black men will vote Trump to overcome that.

It all makes sense you find out the leftists at Google are funding the chattering class “conservatives” at NR.
Anyone can pursue “white privilege” in America.
Stay in school, learn a skill or trade, don’t do drugs, and don’t have children out of wedlock. It’s not a secret. It works almost all the time regardless of race, gender, or any other variable.
Not when they hear about her Jamaican roots, specifically the slaveholder side of the family.
Yup! My fault.
OH. Progs not nationalists.
Suburban white women won’t get the tingles for a black female candidate like they would for Beto. That’s why he or somebody like him will be the nom and she won’t. Kampala and all the rest of the identity politics crowd are actually running for VP. A white male will be the top of the Dem ticket.

“And some of them wear R jerseys..”
So true. Too many of them do.

Exactly. Color doesn’t matter at all. It’s brain function. Look at Maxine Waters and her most recent comments about Jussie The Liar, how it’s all Trump’s fault, because Trump “dog whistles these events”, or something like that.
It’s not just white progressives. It’s all progressives.
The sum total of her “evidence” that NR took Google cash to suppress conservative views comes from a Breitbart story about a Wired story. Here’s the gist: Google gave money to CEI, where Iain Murray works. Iain wrote a piece for us in which he disagreed with a New York Times writer who thinks the government should break up big tech firms, including Google. And . . . that’s it.
