It's not their 'problem'...

THAT was funny!

And illustrates perfectly the Democrats'
problem - they're tone deaf. It's like they all got Algoritis or something.
On another note, I'd read Ray Nagin's comments but had never actually heard or seen him before, that I recall. I kept expecting him to say "Yo shawty - whut up".
...it IS who they are.
Consider, if a Republican went out and said:
"We need to make the Democrats in the House pick cotton and live in shacks and whip them into compliance."
or
"We need to make sure only rich white people live in certain parts of NO and keep the coloreds in their place."
or
"We need to use the courts, our courts, to mandate a GOP winner in ever election nationwide."
Now, every one of those statements would be heard by Democratic ears, a majority of them, as the truth, how GOP'ers really think and see the world.
They would also be met with outrage and whomever said them would be gone tomorrow, by insistance of Republicans.
So, there are certain things you can't say as a Republican. Because we get accussed of this stuff all the time by the media and, obviously, Democrats, there is a strong desire to take those opportunities and make a very big statement that there is no Klan in the GOP, unlike the Democratic party, and there are no race based policies or planning in the GOP, unlike the Democratic party and there is no using the courts to shape the world, unlike the Democratic party.
On the flip side, Hillary and Nagin and Pelosi can and just about must say things like this BECAUSE there is profound racism in the Democratic party and because there is segregation in the Democratic party and there is a 'use the courts' when you lose the votes mentality in the Democratic party. And no one, no one on their side will call them out on this, let alone demand their removal from power.
Are there any blacks in position of national power in the Demcoratic party?
Were there any for eight years under Clinton besides Jocyln Elders?
Who constantly obsesses over the courts?
Who has Ray Negin? Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson? Race baiters.
Add Hillary.
Problem? How about identity.
