What’s your gut tell you?

As I watch Newsom and his proxies attack Elder’s “blackness”, label him as the black face of white supremacy, I am reminded of Pete Wilson and Prop 187.  In the 1994 election contest, a political party openly alienated an increasingly important demographic segment and shifted the electoral balance in California for over a generation.

Are the Elder attacks that far over the top?  Can democrats fairly position themselves as representatives of the African American community?

65% of non hispanic whites are likely to vote.  Only 54% of African Americans are similarly inclined.  73% of African Americans are democratic voters.  African Americans are 7% of registered voters while Hispanics are 28% and Asians are 14%.

How will the community react to another of their members shuffled to the back of the bus by the Democratic Party?

Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;
Good fortune seems to you have sung, to live and love way past long
