We are all fundamentally tribal. The change has been that white people have tried to be less tribal - in many cases spurning their own tribe in favor of those with more melanin in their skin. We call that White Guilt.<br /><br />But in truth, white people remain tribal. Ask any white New Yorker what he thinks about white southerners or white Texans. Ask any white Texan what he thinks about white people in California. Tribalism is clearly evident in regional biases, and support for local sports teams.<br /><br />It is not ONLY skin color that results in tribalism. There are a myriad of factors that play into tribalism. The real question then becomes how to deal with the reality of tribalism, which plays out in many ways in society.<br /><br />To me it seems more than dishonest to say that I'm color blind, or unaffected by other forms of tribalism. Even as someone who has lived in 8 American states, and another country during my life; even as someone who has an interracial family that includes African Americans, Hispanics and white people (primarily Anglo); I find that tribalism affects many areas of my life. For example: I am staunchly pro-American above other nations. I am a Texan by birth and heritage, and quite proud of it. I am very religious. These are all tribal identities. My being white (primarily Anglo) is just another tribal identity. And for the record, I have know biases against other white ethnicities also. So it is more than skin color that affects my attitudes.<br /><br />I dare anyone who is honest with themselves to claim they are completely devoid of biases. Also, some tribal identities are benign, while others can be malignant. My best friend (a Wisconsinite of French/Scandinavian extraction is a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan to the point of putting a street sign on his 1/2 mile driveway on his farm in Holman, WI that says "Packerbacker Blvd." He LOVES that it annoys me every time I see it - most recently at the August wedding of his daughter. I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan from Dallas TX. My proud <br />Anglo/Texan/Cowboys fan background makes me not part of his tribal identity as a French/Scandinavian/Wisonsonite/Packers fan. But we share tribal identities in other areas.<br /><br />I have 3 children who are 1/2 hispanic, and 3 nephews/nieces that are 1/2 African American. So we don't 100% share tribal identities when it comes to race. But the more important fact is that we are blood relatives.<br /><br />I don't suffer from white guilt. I also don't deny that I have my biases. But I do work to make them benign, and not malignant. And I resent others saying that I don't have a right to my biases - even as I work to make sure I treat people according to who they are - not according to stereotypes. <br /><br />What is wrong with the modern Democratic party is that their power DEPENDS on entrenching malignant tribal loyalties based on sex, race, etc. - the very antithesis of what they claim. And they do not allow us to flow freely from one tribal identity to another, so that we can find common ground with others who don't share ALL of our tribal identities. These are evil people who want to put people in boxes (ideological prison cells) and never release them.Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084887344523969788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-34808139742936565282020-10-22T12:02:34.175-05:002020-10-22T12:02:34.175-05:00The best part of this post's comments:
People ...The best part of this post's comments:<br />People telling Black people that they should think for themselves while simultaneously telling Black people they are too stupid to see the Democrats are bad for them. <br />Just. Delicious.<br /><br />@Drago:<br />"Go back to the far left blogsites"...<br />Pump your brakes buddy. I will come and go as I please. <br />And there's nothing you're going to do to stop me.<br />DO you think this is your blog? Let me check that masthead again. I do wonder what poor Mrs. Meadhouse thinks of her comment section these days. At one time years ago it was a pretty vibrant place with all kinds of different perspectives. Right, left, and moderate, outer-space voices interacting. Now, it's been overrun with angry, avowedly Trump or Die folks who want to kick you out of the comments if you don't parrot their worldview. <br /><br />Althouse has a stated "cruelly-Neutral" emphasis on her perspective and a moderate tone to boot. Dudes am not "trolling" your right-wing website because: 1. it's not yours and 2. it's not a right-wing website.<br /> It's a blog with an almost sublimely artistic and purposeful perspective that is so unique that if the National Archives ever deigned to preserve blogs this would be my nomination. <br />Much of the comment section , however, reads like the daily transcripts of episodes of Rush & Hannity repeatedly copied and pasted.<br /><br />In the actual real world I'm known as someone quite moderate who kinda leans-right. Here I'm considered by some to be a flaming pinko super-leftist to be shunned away and stomped down so you can get back to y'alls ..er I mean Althouse's.. echo chamber. Sad! <br /><br />@Jamie: <br />"q etc. has backed off the word "Dixiecrats." <br />Yeah, because that's what you do in a conversation that's meant to actually elicit understanding. @Drago still thinks it was a planted word "to see if they could get away with it." Wut? Get "away" with what? Are their prizes here? Who declares the winner? Lemme guess...<br /><br />@Drago: <br />"Suburban areas are not "carefully gerrymandered districts". If you don't think they are in carefully gerrymandered districts then you are just ignorant of that. Some districts look like spaghetti noodles now to get the right "mix" of voters in them. Not all areas are able to do this, but the practice definitively exists (albeit for both parties to protect their interests to keep districts "safe" i.e. homogenized).<br /><br />Man, I'm not "playing" a race card. I'm sharing facts, opinions, and observations on a blog comment section. What do you think it is you're doing?<br />But you did prove my point for me because I said the same thing. Trump is using an explicit class-warfare message to appeal to the voters And I said there just happened to be some racial minority baggage. There's no doubt, I agree, that *more* minorities live in the suburbs. But even Trumps rosy figure of 30% of suburbs including *all* minorities therefore means, no, they aren't *full* of any minority. <br />And, yeah it's obvious why people want to move to the suburbs. But lots of folks will never have the means to leave or even the belief that they can leave that go waaay back. But I know you don't pay any attention to the hows of the whys and they should all just bootstrap themselves up. <br />Handwaving centuries of oppression, government mandated discrimination, cultural isolation, violent recrimination, blah blah blah. Yeah I'm a pinko for mentioning that stuff, I know. <br />AND I Agree: If Republicans had any imagination left they would mandate that most of this housing be adjacent to very upscale progressive enclaves. Most of this would happen in deep blue cities anyway. And then demonstrate the actual hypocrisy when these progs balk.<br /><br />Hey, tell me to leave again, I thought it was cute.q12345q6789https://www.blogger.com/profile/05153852362572869394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-64916628645601259892020-10-22T08:04:34.228-05:002020-10-22T08:04:34.228-05:00To a large degree it goes back to "What have ...To a large degree it goes back to "What have you got to lose?".RichAndScepticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265484395303732610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-8799730907231834232020-10-21T23:24:55.818-05:002020-10-21T23:24:55.818-05:00q12345q6789: "That's from yesterday on Al...q12345q6789: "That's from yesterday on Althouse.

More of your happy horses***.<br /><br />There is so much nonsense packed into this comment I don't have time to address them all.<br /><br />A couple important ones: Suburban areas are not "carefully gerrymandered districts" and they are full of all kinds of people. All kinds. But the one thing all those people have in common is that they choose to live in particular neighborhoods for particular reasons. Better schools where the teachers/administrators are more responsive to their requirements (talk to all my indian immigrant neighbors about that!), less crime, etc.<br /><br />The obama/Biden/radical left/LLR-left plan to move authority for zoning and housing authority to the Federal level and then require low income housing to be plopped into established low/middle/high middle income areas is simply an insult to everyone who worked hard to build a better life for their families.<br /><br />Note: none of the democratical/LLR-lefty politicians will be living next to low income/subsidized housing.<br /><br />And everyone knows this will crater the property values of everyone who already lives in those middle class areas. Areas that are full of lots and lots of all kinds of people. <br /><br />But hey, when all you've got is the race card, its gonna be the card you're gonna play.<br /><br />And something tells me q12345q6789 (doesn't that just roll of the tongue?) knew exactly what he/she/xe was doing with that dixiecrat lie and threw it out there anyway to see if they could get away with it.<br /><br />Not on this blog.<br /><br />Go back to the far left blogsites like Democrat Underground or The Bulwark or The Dispatch if you want to find morons who will go along with such transparent nonsense.<br /><br />Dragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079148433908004715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-49508841196466193762020-10-21T23:24:31.960-05:002020-10-21T23:24:31.960-05:00q etc. has backed off the word "Dixiecrats&qu...q etc. has backed off the word "Dixiecrats" (thank you to Drago, was it? who explicated that timeline - I've been thinking about it but haven't taken the time to do my own research!) to say instead that all the racists he knows vote R. q, I submit that that claim hinges on what you mean by "racist." If you're talking about using racial epithets, for instance, I'm willing to believe you don't know any Ds who have used them (in front of you, at any rate) - this would go along with the tendency of those on the D side to be extremely sensitive to language. But if you were to define racism as "a belief that members of one 'race' are superior/inferior to members of another," then it seems to me you probably know quite a few racist Ds, based on mainstream D policies that take it as read that black Americans do not, statistically, succeed at the same rate as white Americans (and Asians) because they <i>cannot</i>. As Candace Owens and others have said, to tell a person that she <i>cannot</i> succeed because of <i>how she looks</i> is a terrible cruelty. And to create or support policies that are based on that assumption is to indicate that one believes it.<br /><br />I once tried to get my English prof to grade my boyfriend on a different scale from everyone else in the class, because he was <i>special</i> - he didn't take to authority, you see, was too intelligent and free-spirited to follow arbitrary rules. She, quite correctly, gave me the most painful dressing-down I have yet experienced. It was awful. But more awful still was my realization that I'd done it not because I thought he was <i>too bright</i> to be constrained by her standards, but because I thought he <i>couldn't meet</i> those standards. Expand that principle to the way Ds, especially white Ds, treat black Americans as a group and I'd argue you're talking about some particularly insidious and dangerous racism.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623031374944444521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-50349250303257190332020-10-21T22:06:48.635-05:002020-10-21T22:06:48.635-05:00Charlemagne, Charles the Great >>>

You're talkin shit and that doesn't play here. Lay it out or move on."<br /><br />OK, folks. I won't rehash the whole raft of comments again (you can see them here: <br />https://althouse.blogspot.com/2020/10/the-women-come-up-to-me-women-who-they.html<br /><br />That's from yesterday on Althouse. Essentially, Trump is arguing that women in the suburbs should vote from him because he is all that is standing between them and the brutish, horrible poor people from the inner cities invading *their* suburbs. Most of those poor, brutish, awful people will be, let's say, "Brownish" minorities and everyone knows it. This policy Trump is explicitly endorsing has the added benefit of working to keep the carefully gerrymandered districts intact along existing class, racial, and party lines. <br /><br />I see there was no comments on the two middle paragraphs so I'll just move on to the last. <br /><br />@Drago:"For the morons like q12345q6789, that is just about 38 years AFTER the passage of the Civil Rights bill."<br />You know what, I want to admit that I shouldn't have used the term Dixiecrat when that's not really what I meant. That was an off the cuff remark and you are correct that the term 'Dixiecrat' is a very specific term from US history. And using it didn't really elucidate what my previous point was. BUT, I'll note that you did focus on that term and not the thrust of my comment. No matter.<br />So instead of writing 'Dixiecrat' I should have just noted that the *majority* of Anti-black racist White people have found their home in voting for the Republican party in my lifetime (Note: I am *not* saying the majority of Republicans are racist!) All of the racist Whites that I know (and yeah, I do know some quite well) vote Republican. And Black people as individuals know this. <br />There *are* anti-Black racist Democrats, I'm sure. But, they are mostly cowed into submission by the majority of the Party and so they will remain a small, silent part of it. Hopefully, this is changing. As I for one, would welcome it if more Black people came into the Republican party. I think it would be really good for the Party and for the country.<br /><br />@ Michael K: "Do I think you are an honest commenter or a troll?"<br />in my best Inigo Montoya voice:<br />"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."<br /><br /><br />BTW my 2016 talking points were *much* more Pro-Trump. <br />Ah, sweet Summer child. To be so young and so innocent again.<br />I'm not even fully "Anti-Trump". I might end up, ugh, voting for him as I hold my nose. But I am going to call 'em like I see 'em.

He could have chosen someone moderate enough with actual brains and savvy that could have run against and defeated Clinton for the nomination in 2016. I have often thought that he chose Biden because that was the price Clinton demanded in 2008- she wanted a true lightweight or some too old to run in the VP office.

Obama excited them. Biden is about as exciting as a bowl of Cream of Wheat.)<br /><br />However, in this case, it might be very smart indeed for Trump to go after young black male voters. Older black voters attached themselves - with dire consequences - to racial flim-flam men like the Revs. Jesse and Al and the Congressional Black Caucus. They will have a very difficult time shaking loose the voting habits of a lifetime. Younger blacks - the ones not radicalized by BLM - can see things through a fresh pair of eyes. Biden is just more of the Dem same old same old - "vote for us because the other guy is racist."<br /><br />No, Trump won't get a majority. He doesn't have to. If he can pick off 20 percent of the black vote, Biden is toast.<br /><br /><br /><br /> exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996979470278945904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79730049021617606142020-10-21T17:34:53.388-05:002020-10-21T17:34:53.388-05:00Trump is our first black president.

Going into the election, I don't have a high degree of confidence in polls, because they need to make a priori judgments about the composition of their sample (how many R, how many D, how many rural, how many urban, etc.). But after the election, what we will have are "exit polls". How much confidence should I have in those? If (say) Trump supporters, systematically refuse to answer pollsters, or if there is a systematic difference between those who vote "live" (and therefore are subject to exit pollsters) and those who vote "early" or "by mail", then the exit polls may be way off. Possibly (probably?) there will be "exit polls" that try to reach all voters who voted (say by phone, rather than by in-person when they leave the polls). But here, too, we are left with the possibility that the composition of those answering the pollsters is biased in a systematic way. I think this election is especially problematic, because no one on either side is inclined to accept the usual "declarations" of who has won. So no one will believe the exit polls, and since the network declarations are based in no small part on exit polls, no one will believe the network declarations (and in addition the networks have indicated to many a pro-Biden bias). Conceivably if ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc declare Trump the victor in PA, FL, WI, etc., that might be conclusive, but even then, I think we'd have Hillary and others saying "never concede!"hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683425888380610689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-27589492860708661722020-10-21T17:19:31.280-05:002020-10-21T17:19:31.280-05:00Trump keeps talking about how his policies have in...Trump keeps talking about how his policies have increased jobs and business opportunities for Black people.
