Democrats are obsessed with race

The truth about race relations in America

Democrats kicked off the Democrat National Convention in Chicago this week by racially segregating their attendees. According to the official DNC schedule yesterday, the first morning began with several caucus meetings that divided attendees based on their races—the Black Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus, the Asian American Pacific Islander Caucus, etc.

It’s a story that sounds like it belongs in 1964, not 2024. And yet, sixty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Americans are being conditioned to act like this is normal. These racial group meetings are now commonplace and celebrated in corporate America and in higher education. In 2019, for example, the National Association of Scholars found 200 colleges and universities were segregating students based on race in events, housing, and other activities.

The truth is, racial division is the modern modus operandi of the Democrat Party. Everything is viewed through a racial prism, allies and enemies alike. White Americans are inherently bad, and required express some sort of racial guilt for acceptance. So-called “people of color” are inherently good or victimized, meaning they are deserving of some sort of preferential treatment to atone for some undefined previous racial injustice against them.

To hide from this fact, the Democrat Party works in overdrive to levy this very accusation against Republicans as a means of deflection. They always accuse their opponents of the very thing they themselves are doing.

Democrats are helped in this by a media that loves nothing more than to talk about race. But it didn’t always used to be this way. As Zach Goldberg noted in Tablet Magazine, in the period between 2011 and 2019, there was a “continual dramatic increase in usages of ‘racism’ and its variations.”

By 2019, the use of these terms in the media had skyrocketed, rising by as much as 1000% in the Washington Post.

“By 2019, they would constitute 0.02% and just under 0.03% of all words published in the [New York] Times and [Washington] Post—an increase of over 700% and just under 1,000%, respectively, from 2011.” — Zach Goldberg in Tablet Magazine

In that time, Americans have been subjected to increasing coverage and lecturing by the media and Democrat politicians on how racist the country is, how racist they are, and how terrible the United States is for minorities.

The commentary has devolved into practically labeling everything racist. It has become so absurd that basic societal norms like punctuality are apparently representative of “white supremacist culture.” And that isn’t just being pushed by the online fringe. In 2020, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture labeled “rational thinking and hard work” a “white value” (and they didn’t mean that in a good way).

The coverage has also normalized racial commentary and humor about whites that wouldn’t be tolerated if used for other races. For example, a few days ago Kamala Harris’ vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz told Harris that he liked “white guy tacos.” Harris responded asking if white guy tacos meant “mayonnaise and tuna,” and then jokingly asked if Walz “put any flavor in it.” The “joke” was of course that white people don’t season their food. Hilarious, right? Walz played the part of self-flagellating white man to perfection.

On X, I wrote that Walz was the perfect encapsulation of the modern white liberal: a gleefully subservient punching bag for a party and campaign that opposes his very existence.

It’s not that I am opposed to humor, even humor directed at specific groups. But while jokes at white Americans’ expense are laughed at and allowed, the same isn’t true for jokes about other groups. Those jokes are met with scorn and scolding. As the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh pointed out on X, there would have been a nuclear meltdown if Donald Trump talked about a “black guy taco” with fried chicken and watermelon.

The reality of race relations in America is clearly far different than what Democrats and the media portray, regardless of their claims. In fact, the opposite of their claims is true. Minorities in America are more likely than white Americans to hold negative opinions or harbor ‘cold feelings’ towards individuals of other racial groups.

According to the American National Election Studies, white Americans in 2020 were the only racial group that viewed individuals in other racial groups with the same warmth as members of their own group. In other words, white Americans essentially viewed blacks, Hispanics, and Asians as equal to themselves.

Other racial groups, however, were more prejudiced. Among all groups, whites were rated the worst. Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians viewed whites less favorably than their own groups and each other. Each of these other racial groups also rated their own group far more favorably than other groups, which suggests they have a preference for members of their own racial category.

The largest “warmth” gap was between how blacks viewed themselves and how they viewed whites. The average black score from black respondents was an 85.5, whereas black respondents rated whites with a 62.4. Hispanics were also the only other group that rated themselves favorably enough to have a score above 80.

Many of you are likely familiar with the above graph and statistic, especially if you use X. A few days ago, Elon Musk reposted the graph asking for evidence that contradicted it.

This data is obviously not completely definitive of American culture and society, but it is suggestive. Based on this information, it’s clear that the racial group viewed most negatively in this country is white Americans—the same group that is consistently blamed for racial division and racism. If the beliefs revealed in this survey yield behaviors, is there really any doubt as to whether whites experience real world treatment based on these views?
