Pre Civil War of course.
Nope.... they aren't even the ones trying to bring back Jim Crow.
Another projection from the left......
Don't like having your own racist trash rubbed in your face???
Maybe try not supporting racist filth like Woke-O-Haram.
Did you ever hear the old term "Banned in Boston?". It was when the dear old church up there was able to blow through the first amendment, and use the government to ban books they didn't like. When they did that, the books generally became best sellers.
Is someone trying to have it banned??
Fuck I think it needs to be put on every TV station out there... everyone should see what the Democrats are about.
The "Antiracist Baby" book was put on every TV station when Cruz, for reasons still not entirely clear, pointed to it during Jackson's confirmation hearings.
As for what the book is "about," it ain't hating whitey.
No... I mean it needs to be read in it's entirety to everyone so Woke-O-Haram's crazy racism and hatred can be put on display.
That's exactly what it's about, that's what the entire "social justice" movement on the left is about.

He's never even heard of the book but he'll argue with you about its contents.
Drop that lie once and for all, will you?

I have him on ignore, but sometimes I can tell roughly what he said from other people's responses.
This was not one of those times. There are literally dozens of things you could be responding to.
Nothing like taking a fact and jumping to the wrong conclusion.
The sales is certainly good news for the author but that's about as far as it goes. Much like Alinsky's writings and other leftist tomes, the right buys them and reads them as well. It's called "knowing the enemy" and arming yourself with the knowledge to defeat them. Assuming that people are snapping the book up so as to become 'true believers' is a HUGE mistake.

The two-party system only survives because the two parties manipulated the system to keep themselves relevant. The largest demographic group are those not aligned with either party.

Which will no doubt be the result of those alleged increased book sales.
In this case, that the whole "social justice" movement is all about hating whitey.I have him on ignore, but sometimes I can tell roughly what he said from other people's responses.

No, because a single-member-district system for electing legislatures naturally produces a two-party system, freezing out all smaller parties, to the point where they have no chance of growing into big ones -- that last that managed that was the GOP (founded 1854). Such a system might produce two right-wing parties or two LW or (as now) two more-or-less centrist, but always two.
If you don't like that, try proportional representation.
The "largest demographic group" is of course the working class, defined as blue-collar workers with no higher education, and neither party really does represent their interests at present; each is controlled by and serves the interests of the educated elite. Each party's politics is neoliberalism, that is, a moderate economic libertarianism and international free trade, each party emphasizing different aspects, but always within the "Washington Consensus" that has defined the boundaries of the Overton Window ever since the 1980s. Socialism and radical libertarianism are neither ever on the table for discussion. The only issues that now really distinguish Ds from Rs are culture-war issues, like what this thread is about.

There's no evidence at all of that. Cruz himself either missed the point of the book or pretended to miss it. Besides, the right never bases its strategy on what the left really believes, they just make up the most inflammatory caricature of it they can get away with. See CRT for example.
Never seen any reason to believe that happens, unless the RW in question is a writer for a political publication.
