>It is a truism that America has become a more diverse country. It is also a beautiful thing to watch. Visitors from other countries, particularly those having trouble incorporating different ethnic groups and faiths, are amazed that we manage to pull it off. Not perfectly, of course, but certainly better than any European or Asian nation today. It’s an extraordinary success story.
>But how should this diversity shape our politics? The standard liberal answer for nearly a generation now has been that we should become aware of and “celebrate” our differences. Which is a splendid principle of moral pedagogy — but disastrous as a foundation for democratic politics in our ideological age. In recent years American liberalism has slipped into a kind of moral panic about racial, gender and sexual identity that has distorted liberalism’s message and prevented it from becoming a unifying force capable of governing.
>One of the many lessons of the recent presidential election campaign and its repugnant outcome is that the age of identity liberalism must be brought to an end. Hillary Clinton was at her best and most uplifting when she spoke about American interests in world affairs and how they relate to our understanding of democracy. But when it came to life at home, she tended on the campaign trail to lose that large vision and slip into the rhetoric of diversity, calling out explicitly to African-American, Latino, L.G.B.T. and women voters at every stop. This was a strategic mistake. If you are going to mention groups in America, you had better mention all of them. If you don’t, those left out will notice and feel excluded. Which, as the data show, was exactly what happened with the white working class and those with strong religious convictions. Fully two-thirds of white voters without college degrees voted for Donald Trump, as did over 80 percent of white evangelicals.
Hopefully this article will wake up some of those progressive shitters. Though I feel it will be too little too late.

These stupid kikes and liberals dont get it. You can't un redpill yourself. Identity politics will leave a rift in america for 50 -100 years on the off chance liberals somehow regain sanity. They wont though and they will continue to push ordinary people of all races into a corner and when catastrophe strikes there will be an ideological civil war. They fucked up and now their children will suffer while the jews scurry away to israel

What people should be doing is archiving the nasty nasty things said about Americans that voted for Trump and archive it to play back in 4 years times... the articles in the Huffing Paint about how they now hate white women because they voted for Trump.. yeah, screenshot that before it gets taken down. The Young Turks Ana Kasparian screaming thatthe majorty of people are "Fucking Dumb" who voted for Trump.
I don't see the Democrats and Liberals learning their lessons..... lord knows their followers are doubling down on the nonsense that has gotten them here.

They've certainly integrated them more successfully than we have. The MSM would have us believe that diversity has turned Britain into a paradise where we all hold hands and sing kumbaya, but of course in reality it has resulted in self-ghettoisation and the balkanisation of our society, where third-world Muslims run wild because the authorities are terrified of even the slightest possibility of being called "racist". There are parts of the UK that are indistinguishable from the shithole Middle East where you'll hear nary an English word spoken. It's truly shameful that we've allowed our country to fall this far.

They're calling for the end of it because they realize whites are now into identity politics and are learning to vote in their own self interest in America.
Did you fuckers read the fucking article? It criticizes exactly the obsession of the left in bringing the identity politics to the political debate, it agrees with the opinion of most channers if anything.

They're literally only trying to shit on white identity politics.

They are only doing this now because whites have suddenly started to play identity politics with the overwhelmingly white rust belt voting Trump and more and more becoming red-pilled as 3rd world immigrants pour in.
Whites are still more than 60% of the US population, and if whites start identifying with their own race then (((their))) narrative and goals are out of the window.

So now the democrats finally wake up to how dumb identity politics are. For a nation to function it needs unity not diversity. If the inhabitants of a nation are united behind a idea or cause. The race, religion, sexuality of the other people united in that cause. Means far less than the cause.
Jeremiah Jenkins
You can't expect her to call bullshit on BLM and hipster liberal arts faggotry especially considering that she probably makes a living giving speechs to the liberal crowd. The overall message of her article is exactly that though: let's stop with this victimism of minorities because it has gone overboard since a long ago and it's not getting us any vote anytime soon.
Isaac Cook
wont do shit.
they're just going to double down and lose even harder in 2020.
Justin Wilson
>Affirmative action has reshaped and improved corporate life.
This was the most retarded statement in the article. Many liberal and generally left-leaning people refuse to have a debate on the merits of affirmative action, especially when we have so many immigrants who are from one of the "designated groups" that benefit from it. It's just assumed that if you disagree with it, you're opposed to "diversity" and are racist. They are also tone-deaf on how many people react to both BLM and Hollywood activism. Not a bad article, but it still clings irrationally to some basic liberal dogmas.
Carson Nelson
>Visitors from other countries...are amazed that we manage to pull it off.
But we don't. Tourists only see the touristy areas (which themselves are getting pretty bad now).
Meanwhile, we have no-go zones where white people can't go w/o being attacked and robbed.
Where cops see white people and just assume they are there to buy drugs (they probably are), and warn them to GTFO for their own good.
Aaron Kelly
nah, fuck you. The intellectual libshits are only pulling back because they realized that their PC bullshit is recreating a unified white voting bloc that will put them back into chains

Justin Adams
Again you have to take in perspective how much her rethoric can stretch in face of the crowd she talks and its respective political stance. Affirmative action is like a sacred pole that has been endorsed for decades by the american left and some conservatives theorists alike, John Raws for instance. She can't suddenly write in an article that affirmative action is ineffective, or that it creates more divisiviness than benefits. The political discourse can accept a limited degree of rewinding, and that's exactly what she's doing. Her article specifically is like a victory for Sup Forums and that's what I'm trying to convey to the fellow anons whose brains have been melted by the memes.
Christian Cox
Can't believe a Times writer summarized my thoughts
he mentions that the KKK was one of the first real American "identity movements", I think liberals should be aware that the more they push other individual identity movements as paramount (black/gay/female etc) you're going to see a continued surge in white nationalist identity groups. It's a natural consequence, people, feeling excluded or threatened, band together.
We need to reclaim American nationality or else we will continue on down the road towards real civil unrest

I'm always confused by how these kinds of people act like they live in real fear and oppression. "White male dominated America" ended slavery, granted citizenship, allowed suffrage, allowed virtually full civil rights in the 60's/70's, and most recently allowed gay marriage, something 50% of the "modern west" has yet to do. Everyone is essentially free to do as they please.
Yet you can't go a day without being huffy under white men because we're all suddenly going to roll back all of the things we consented to over the past 100 years? It's insanity. They probably think civil rights groups walked into Congress and held a gun to their head to get them to acquiesce.

This election simply opened my eyes, even before the election the chimpouts/terrorist attacks and obamas refusal to do anything pointed me into the right direction

And they've already freed the millennial beast. They're not going to learn, they're going to go at it harder.
The millennials actually do carry a lot of weight. Their parents are getting old and businessmen need them to buy things. Similarly the Democrats are going to sell themselves to what they think is the average liberal millennial, which means sjws

Maybe that's the end goal. The US has the biggest Jewish population on earth. (((They))) need some way to get them to move to the holy land so they can justify their expansion into Greater Israel.
They have a knack for getting expelled from countries. If the US eventually becomes inhospitable to Jews(via racial strife) they can double their Jewish population.
Europe is already doing this with Muslim immigrants. As a result of the migrant crisis more Jews are flocking from France to Israel than any point in history.

James Collins
>This article is insulting to people who are not cisgendered, heterosexual white men. Identity is not something which can be quietly set aside in pursuit of common goals, since historically those goals were set by and for white men; women, people of color, members of the LGBT community are seeking to rebalance a society which both intentionally and unintentionally excluded their interests for centuries. Moreover, identity informs key political questions, which may start as attempts to address specific groups' concerns but can broaden into affecting much larger groups. For example, the push to protect the rights of migrant workers, many of whom are undocumented, is not a simple issue of immigrant identity, but can lead to higher wages and better employment protections for all workers. Promoting women's equality in the workforce can lead to greater access to childcare resources and expanded parental and family leave for all workers.
>I also dispute the argument that liberals are responsible for promoting identity politics. President-elect Trump's campaign trafficked heavily in Islamaphobia and xenophobia, he was endorsed by the KKK, and has since selected the white supremacist Steve Bannon as a member of his administration. We don't want to keep defending reproductive rights, gender identity, racial equality and religious freedom and yet, these rights are constantly under attack. Ask conservatives to abandon the identity politics of white Christians and then we'll talk.
