Withdrawing from the 2020 race, Senator Booker commented on the absence of any black candidate, now that he and Kamala Harris are gone. He pointed out what seemed to him a paradox. According to the Senator, in many states east of the Mississippi, 40-70% of the Democrat primary voters are African American. While that may seem a little high, reliable sources place the number at 24% nationally, so he might be right if we count only the eastern and south east states. Researchers placed South Carolina black primary vote at 50%. Booker took a couple of other shots at America's "whiteness," but they appear to have been quickly scrubbed from the internet. After all, he might wind up Biden's running mate. In South Carolina, black voters chose Biden over Booker, 39% to 4%. I'm left with a couple of questions. First, the Democrat Party, in the east, at least, becomes more black each year. What will happen when the party eventually becomes the party of and for the blacks? What will happen if the Democrat strategy, which depends on a unified black vote, turns out to be misguided and the blacks continue to split their votes, racially, as they did in the 2020 primary. Politicians such as Booker and Harris could wind up holding the bag, as they did in 2020, after following the strategy of identity politics. The second question is, how smart is it for minority applicants to continue to blame white attitudes -- prejudice and racism -- when they don't get what they want? It worked for Obama, yes. Many Americans feel Obama was the last straw.
