Maybe minority voters don’t want to move into those states because of all the white voters.

Hmmm. Mostly I think because those two states (Iowa and NH) are primarily rural and people of color tend to live in cities. Mainly because there are more opportunities.

So how is racism involved then?

The Democratic primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire. This is an artifact from the 70’s when these two states jumped the line to start the primaries.

But as the US has become increasingly diverse it looks really out of touch to have two states that are over 90 percent white strongly affect the election of a Democratic candidate.

Those states aren’t “racist” but the primary system that allows these two states to start the election disenfranchises minority voters and would be an example of systematic or institutional racism. At least in my opinion.

Are minorities not allowed to move into those states? And how come the Democrats have rejected Kamala Harris and Cory Booker? You guys sure aren’t running a very diverse primary.

What does that got to do with my post?

My post is about Pocahontas hiding after being caught using a private jet while she wants everyone else use electric cars.

Isn’t she advocating the gaggle of hens green deal?

I think you libs have a little string coming out of the backs of your necks with a loop attached and when something pulls that loop “IT’S RACISM” pops out of your voiceboxes without your even thinking about it. Either that or “ITS TRUMPS FAULT”. Except you can’t blame Trump for the blatant racism in the Democrat party.

Hey its not our party that has <5 % of its congress as minorities. Theres a reason they won’t vote for your candidates. (Hint: It starts with the R letter).

And yet you rejected Harris and Booker in favor of all white candidates. Why? (Hint, it starts with the R letter).

Did you see where Booker went on tirade calling Americans racist and bigots and then demanded unity?

“Spartacus” Cory Booker delivered an unhinged tirade on the floor of the US Senate, on Tuesday, during the the sham Trump impeachment trial.

What a moron…so typical of what’s coming out of their mouths.

How does the NBA come out in diversity quota’s, would the NBA be better if it was 20% black, 20% White, 20% Asian, 20% North American Indian, and 20% transgender?. Or would it be better the way it is now that the NBA plays only the best athletes?

Democrats want diversity in certain areas and not others, they love the black vote but rarely live beside blacks. Every city in the U.S. when broken down by demographics looks like it has some sort of modern day Berlin Wall running straight down the middle as the left declare success, or gives every excuse in the world.

It’s like this in every U.S. city.

D.C. as and example red dots white - blue dots black. This isn’t diversity this is what the map looked like in the former Yugoslavia before it broke up.

What a strange reply to statistics that show that the democratic party is in fact, diverse.

You are the one who brought race into the issue, as liberals reflexively do. You first pointed out the white percentages of Iowa and New Hampshire and said they were out of touch with the party. I asked you what does racism have to do with it. You brought up the percentage of white people in those states again. I suggested maybe it was the minorities that were racist against the white people in those states, that maybe they just didn’t want to move into states with all those white people.

AND THEN, you spoke some truth. You said those two states are primarily rural and people of color tend to live in cities. IOW, racism had nothing to do with it.

BUT THEN, you demonstrated your unrealized hypocrisy by saying " mainly because there are more opportunities."
Really??? You call white rural voters racists because apparently they don’t have many minorities in their communities, because of lack of opportunities ( which isn’t a factor of racism), you claim cities are full of opportunities that draw minority populations AND COMPLETELY IGNORE THE FACT THAT EVERY BIG CITY HAS MINORITY GHETTOS UTTERLY LACKING IN OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE, which is why they are gang infested, drug infested, crime infested hell holes full of minorities killing each other by the thousands. BTW, they’ve been under DEMOCRAT leadership for decades…

AND THEN, you say the states aren’t “racist” but the primary system disenfranchises minorities… I asked essentially how and asked why you guys rejected Harris and Booker, and pointed out the lack of diversity in your candidate pool. Your reply “Little known fact. Dems still elect white people!” REALLY???

So how come when conservatives and Republicans reject Obama, Booker and Harris it’s because we’re a bunch of racists?

With you guys it’s a meaningless, thoughtless, hypocritical reflex.

The GOP isn’t racist because you reject liberal candidates like those three. The GOP is perceived as racist because of decades of politics that people of color perceive as racist. And the proof is in Congress where you only have 5 percent of people of color.

Look at it this way- if I were the CEO of a national company that had 5 percent of people of color in positions of management, I’d likely look at ways to improve that so the company could be more diverse. From what I see the GOP is not interested in that. And it will hurt them down the line as this country becomes increasingly diverse.

In terms of the primaries, all I said is that Iowa and New Hampshire have an outsized effect on the primary and that their demographics are out of step with the demographics of the Democratic party.
