Candidates aspiring to take over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee met Monday night to discuss what went wrong in 2016 and how to get the party back on track.
Early into the event the candidates gravitated toward a particular scapegoat for the partys poor showing in November: Political consultancies owned by white people.
We have to stop, particularly with the consultants, said the chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Jaime Harrison. You cannot come to the DNC and get a contract and the only minority face you have is the person answering the phone.
Minority consultants need to get the same resources that the white consultants have gotten, said a Fox News analyst and candidate for the chairmanship, Jehmu Greene. "The DNC did a piss poor, pathetic job" attracting minorities, she said.
Democrats must provide training that focuses in part on teaching Americans how to be sensitive and how to shut their mouths if they are white, urged the executive director of Idahos Democratic Party, Sally Boynton Brown, who is white.
The events moderator, MSNBCs Joy Ann Reid, asked the candidates how the party should handle the Black Lives Now movement.
The candidates uniformly emphasized that the party must embrace the activists unreservedly.
It makes me sad that were even having that conversation and that tells me that white leaders in our party have failed, Brown said. Im a white woman, I dont get it. My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.
This is life and death she emphasized. I am a human being trying to do good work and I cant do it without yall. So please, please, please, get ahold of me. Sally at we-the-dnc.org. I need schooling so I can go school the other white people.

Just doing some basic maths
Trump got 62,000,000 votes.
62% of white men voted Trump and 53% of white women voted for him too.
So saying the voter turnout is roughly equal to US demographics. That means:
23,000,000 white men voted for him and 21,000,000 white women.
Which means 18,000,000 non whites voted for him. About 30% of his support.
USA is 63% white 37% non white.
The shift was white people from democrat to republican. So apparently Trumps racism got people who voted for a black guy in 2012 to vote for him. Seems legit.
Also his sexism got white women to vote for him, rather than a self confessed feminist woman. Seems legit.
For everything the media and left wing activists tried to do to paint Trump as the King of Shytlords, it seems to have had very little effect on his support, with his overall support amongst women falling only slightly, about 500,000 women across the nation.
There w around 120,000,000 women eligible to vote of which only 30,000,000 or so voted against him. So either American women are very stupid, or the narrative against him is slightly overblown.
they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. -

Another moron who doesn't know or understand actual voting statistics running off at the mouth and speaking for minorities again. Perhaps you should clue yourself in to how many people actually voted for Trump (and Clinton for that matter) and compare that to how many boted for Obama in 2008 so you can see where your logic went horribly wrong. To dumb it down for you, minorities did not vote for Trump! They also did not vote for Clinton, and neither did white women. And that's why Trump wonbecause of the lack of voter turnout from minorities, NOT because of minority support for an obvious racist you idiot!

Right, so lets take your logic.
Trump was so racist and sexist that minorities and women didn't bother to turn out to vote against him. Well, then they really only have themselves to blame, don't they?
And how exactly am I speaking for minorities?
Around about 75,000,000 of the US electorate are white males. So even if every one of them turned out to vote, Trump would have got 46,000,000 votes. So somebody else must have voted for him.
Voter turnout was not significantly lower in 2016 than it was in 2012. It was somewhere around 1% lower.

Absolutely. Your point?

You just got finished making claims about what minorities supposedly did (but actually didn't), then tried to explain their supposed motivations for doing it. So shouldn't the question be, "how are you NOT speaking for minorities?"
Around about 75,000,000 of the US electorate are white males. So even if every one of them turned out to vote, Trump would have got 46,000,000 votes. So somebody else must have voted for him.
Jesus beep Christ! Another "logic" wiz over here.

Nationwide, no (and actually it was closer to 2%). But that is not a relevant factor in this AT ALL. What is relevant is what the voter turnout IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES is! Because the electoral votes are the only ones that count, and states decide elections. And if you actually knew dick about US Government and election history, you'd know that!
The fact of the matter is, Trump got more racist white people to vote for him than Romney and McCain did, and he (and the FBI, and Russia and Clinton) got less minorities to vote for Clinton than for Obama in key states (that's what won Trump the election), and STILL lost the popular vote. The only "majority" of any ethnic demographic that Trump won was WHITE PEOPLE. And that is a demographic that Republicans always win.

Now all we need is a REAL news story from a LEGITIMATE "news" organization to report something ACTUALLY derogatory about the DNC from a neutral perspective, and then we can really celebrate!
