One of your themes is how "identity politics" dominates the Democratic
Party. I readily admit that it's an issue: in the Democratic Party,
whites still strongly tend to vote for white candidates, and blacks
still strongly tend to vote for black candidates. It doesn't take a
genius to figure out what a huge role race plays in many people's
voting decisions.

Well, it seems to have escaped most of the Democrat party ... at least in Ohio and Texas ... where they clearly showed that they are willing to talk the talk but NOT walk the walk. Hypocrits pure and simple. Holier than thou attitudes from the athiests, that's funny.

Funny how, though, that all these black Democrats aren't fleeing all
these white racists in the Democratic party and flooding into the
Republican Party. Apparently, they'd rather take their chances with
the white racist Demnocrats. So apparently you're overlooking some
missing appeal of the Democratic Party, or some lack thereof in the
Republican Party.

Well, not exactly. When you are running a plantation, as the Democrat party is, you make sure the blacks continue to be dependent on you for everything. That is the primary goal of the liberal handout programs, to buy votes and keep people dependent. If anyone is keeping these people locked into a cycle of poverty it is the Democrats and their policies of dependence.

And what you're missing is the fact that you belong to a party that has
taken identity politics to an even more insidious level, by adopting
and protecting policies and positions that attempt to maintain and
perpetuate legacy white wealth and privelege from earlier racist eras.

Bah, humbug. We are doing no such thing. We are adopting and protecting policies that allow people to keep what is theirs, pure and simple, and to keep people from confiscating personal property for redistribution to others.

I'm talking about such policies such as the reduction of taxes on
unearned investment income and the elimination or reduction of
inheritance taxes, both of which would serve to help ensure that more
"old" money was passed thru to future generations. Much of this money,
largely held by whites, was not earned by present generations, but it
is the legacy of wealth and privelege from an earlier racist era where
unfair policies excluded blacks from the opportunity to accumulate
wealth, or worse, where white wealth was generated on the back of
blacks, whose own wealth needle was never allowed to budge from zero.

Total BS. Which generation earned the money should not be a factor in this discussion. Why do you want to tax people for dying? What a ghoulish way of confiscating someone's property and preventing them from providing for the progeny. In the end ALL of this money was earned, which generation earned it does not matter.

The simple fact is that you are confiscating money that was earned by someone and giving it to someone else without their consent. Whether it was earned by me, my father, or my grandfather doesn't change that fact.

In fact, any attempt to gradually even out the distribution of wealth
over generations, no matter how subtle the policy, no matter how
non-punitive the measure, is characterized in the Republican Party as
"wealth redistribution", code for "stealing earned money from someone
and giving it to someone who didn't earn it".

There's no "code" about it. That's exactly what it is. You can't deny it.

The fallacy that all white wealth and privilege has been earned is never questioned in the Republican Party.

Give me some examples of "white wealth and privilege" which wasn't "earned: by someone somewhere.

The false assumption is made that everybody got an even start in life.

I have no idea who makes this assumption. You're just making this up.

Even policies which would benefit only young people, such as money for
college for poor students, is looked at as wealth redistribution-- as
if the students from rich (largely white) students who can afford
college earned that privilege. In this way, even "earned" money is
kept in the hands of whites, as the cost to go to the good schools
skyrockets and significant wealth is required to attend, which tends to
keep the good jobs in the hands of privileged whites whose parents have
the green to put them thru school.

Hey, I can't speak for everyone but I don't know any one personally who actually complains that Blacks and other minorities shouldn't have a decent chance to get a decent education. I have advocated here many times for a system to funds kids equally and have even advocated for a progressive form of funding where the rich pay more than the poor into the pool. I am speaking, of course, about school vouchers.

Republicans want to give minorities and equal opportunity to attend those better schools by providing a system that actually gives them choice. The Democrats are consistently against such policies, preferring instead to keep them locked into a system of inferior schools with inferior results which keeps the black ignorant and uneducated. A policy used by slave owners in their day as well. Coincidence? You decide.

College education? There are already so many programs handing out so much money and it is all tied to need. Merit scholarships are almost totally unheard of anymore. Rich people won't see a cent of the public grants for education so I don't know where you are getting this mostly rich white kids BS. Show me some evidence that the bulk of the public grant money is going to rich white kids because I simply don't believe it.

Same thing with primary education-- rich white Republicans want to keep
"their" tax money in their schools for their kids-- meaning that the
schools where the poor kids go get inferior funding and end up
providing an inferior education. It's just another way to pass on
privelege and wealth from generation to generation, and it's not as if
the rich kids "earned" this privelege and the poor kids did not.

Well, as I pointed out above, school vouchers are a viable mechanism to address this very concern. Who's for them? Republicans. Who's against them? Democrats. Net results for the minorities? They are stuck in inferior schools with no options ... just where the Democrats apparantly want them.

Sure, the brilliant and the talented can thrive and accumulate wealth
under the Republican rules regardless of race; but where in time where
the average black individual has had a favorable environment to
accumulate the kind of wealth that can be passed from generation and
make a difference?

Whether I accept this loaded premise or not, the Democrat rules prevent such a thing in the first place, right? I mean lets say that Joe Average Black Guy happens to earn a couple of hundred million or so. When he dies you are going to confiscate huge amounts of it from his kids anyway, right?

The Democrats are, once again, putting in place a system whereby everyone is forced to start back at square one. Everyone is forced to scrape and scratch to get ahead. Why do they do this? Because they want people to be poor and hungry because it allows them to come in on their white horse and pretend to make it better. All the while, of course, padding their own pockets and keeping the minorities and the poor shut out of their power structure. Republicans, of course, are not afraid of sharing their power with minorities.

When has there been a time higher education was accessible to most
blacks, when you consider that almost as soon as segregation was phased
out, college costs began to rise and have skyrocketd beyond the means
of many black families?

Well, I would say that college education is as readily available to blacks in recent history as it has ever been, wouldn't you? Is there still rom for improvement? Sure, so why are the Democrats advocating policies that hamper the ability of minorities to get a good primary education so that they are prepared to succeed in college?

Where is the even playing field for the poor black kid in the inner
city who has not one single ancestor who was a member of a privleged
class, who has not one single ancestor who passed on any significant
wealth to the next generation that could be used to fund an education
or start a business?

I don't know about you, but I don't have some fat trust fund in my background. Nor do most of the people who go to college or start their own businesses. This is a stawman.

So sure, you can point to the race squabbles of the Demoicratic party,
but recognize that you are a member of a homogenous, lily white party,
which maintains that homogeneity by adoptiong economic policies that
have little to no appeal to most black people ...

There is nothing homogeneous or lilly white about my party.

... policies that do not value work or education but place a high value on
passing unearned legacy wealth and privilege from generation to
generation.

This part is funny. Republicans are THE party of hard work and education. Democrats are THE party of hand-outs and keeping minorities stuck in dead-end schools.

As for "unearned legacy wealth" please provide some examples of "legacy wealth" that wasn't earned by someone, somewhere, sometime, and how impasing a death tax on people ... especially any minorities that happen to accumulate some wealth ... is helping the poor in any way? This policy is explicitly design to insure that are as many poor people as possible, not the other way around.

Republicans are free thinking adult humans.
