Blacks Like Trump? Don't Blame Kanye
2018-10-14
n what some have dubbed "Kanye Derangement Syndrome," we see the death throes of the divide-and-conquer identity politics that has long been the source of Democrat power and residual political success. Democrats' mantra was that black conservatives could not possibly exist in the natural world. They had to be some kind of genetically modified organism to which, when someone wandered off the plantation, they would apply that scientific term "Uncle Tom."

The problem for Democrats is that blacks are leaving their political plantation in increasing droves. In a bit of irony, they are pouring across ideologically open borders. Heeding candidate Trump's call of "what the hell do you have to lose," they have found they had nothing to lose by embracing the rising job opportunities, declining unemployment, and reduced crime those racist Republicans were offering compared to life in the gerrymandered inner-city Bantustans where liberal Democrats have held sway for decades.

Kanye West represents that increasing stampede, but he is a symptom, not the cause.

#1  I can hope it is the death throes. Symptom indeed.
