When did people agree on this new definition of the word "Racism"? I hear it a lot, but I never got the memo.

It's old. Sociology defines racism that way.

I just wanna quickly say how glad I am to finally see how I'm not crazy about class replacing race as the major division in our society.

Like this has something that had been kicking around in my head as a child and member of the comfortable salary class from years ago, hearing the voice of people I knew being all "I'm all for social justice as long as there's good wine and cheese." These are people who vote 100% democrat, good reliable​ voters, always tip 15%, black, hispanic, asian, gay, jewish, muslim friends... and totally lost the plot on people not_like_them.

Huh, the only definitions of racism I ever saw for most of my life are basically "Racial stereotyping."

And the only ones I can find that don't use it that way are inside of academic papers from the 1990's. Doesn't seem very widespread.

Man, is it annoying when common words are jargon that mean something rather different, kinda like "Resolution."

Omg, they absolutely fear for their healthcare and plenty of young minorities have kids to care for.

How blacks are affected and treated in this country absolutely affects their experiences attempting to get and maintain healthcare as well as their ability to care for their kids.

You realize it's more difficult to get birth control, healthcare, pain management, physical therapy, good schools, passable schools, money to feed those kids, ability to be found eligible for food stamps vs their counter parts in rural areas, or any other type of government assistance compared to their rural counterparts.

Then there is the criminalization of young black people.

Yeah identity politics are "a distraction".

It's also time liberals struck "white" out from their common lexicon of insults. "Such a white thing to do" or "white people problems" :jerkbag: or "white people haha am I right?", this isn't a white supremacy/white pride thing, people need to stop conflating ALL behaviors with race. The coastal elite have been making GBS threads on midwestern whites for ages now and you wonder why disadvantaged working class whites tune out democratic messaging? I'm not as good at communicating as others when it comes to politics but seriously it's bullshit to poo poo on "rednecks" or "hicks" or "white trash" and in the same sentence get pissy when lower class urban blacks are called "ghetto". It's all a form of classism. The DNC expected the Rust Belt to turn out for Hillary like good little Democrats then when they went to Trump in droves people get mad at them for all being racist/sexist hicks. They're people too and liberals shouldn't write them off because they're white and white people "need to die" or whatever.

The more significant divide is between the metropoles and their hinterlands. Even real cities are being cannibalized and having their capital sucked up into major service centers, like New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, etc. There isn't any difference in the economic relations of that dynamic between people in the Midwest, or the people in rural parts of New York.

Hillary did worse with every minority demographic than Obama. You can't just draw the end of your analysis here without tangling with the issue of why 8% of the black vote went to Trump.

How many of those voters were motivated by hatred of Hispanics or Muslims? How many are simply a traitorous bourgeoisie?

There is for sure, far more racial motivation among whites than any other group, but racism won on the margins - it wasn't all white folks.

Hillary did worse with every minority demographic than Obama.

This is a bad faith argument. That is willfully ignoring the fact that Hillary was never going to reach those numbers since Obama was the first black president in the history of the United States. Now if Hillary's team believed they were going to do that, then that is yet another major gently caress up. Our turnout was very much in line with what is expected from a winning democratic candidate.

Also really? You are going to talk about 8 percent of the black vote when we make up 13 percent of the population when 63 percent of white men voted for Trump and of those that remained many didn't care for him but didn't find blatant racism disgusting enough to get them to vote against it?

At what point do middle class white people take responsibility for the personal antipathy that led them to just sit this one out.

If we are going to acknowledge the rust belt's part in this, where is the admission that the poor descendants of steel workers did not do this alone?

I'm not going to accept responsibility for an identity grouping that I'm not even a part of.

I only brought up the black vote, because the conventional wisdom was that Trump shouldn't have gotten any of it. Well what about the quarter of the Hispanic vote that went to Trump too? Hillary lost on pitifully small margins, which meant those minority votes for Trump made a difference. How can you account for that? Blaming the racism problem exclusively on whites is a counter-productive analysis.

Also, "Middle class white people" didn't sit this out. They voted decisively for Trump. A third of the country only has an income of $20,000 or less. 71% makes less than $50,000. The middle class in general is a rump of what it used to be, and the white middle class sure as Hell didn't sit this out. Poor people did.
