I amssume your will rattle some cages with this one, Charles. But I tend to agree with your analysis.
I think an indication of the phenomenon you are talking about is how the black political establishment failed to rally behind Sanders, who offered at least some kind of equitable economic vision for the country. In turn, the same kind of Race Hustler local black politicians, who have done so little to advance the interest of their poor constituents, rallied behind Biden and helped him pull off that primary victory in S. Carolina that resurrected his campaign (which seemed to be on the ropes at that point).
At least that is my analysis form far away. As someone who spent a lot of time in S. Carolina and knows that state's local political scene well what do you think?
Good commentary, Andrej, and good examples, including the importance of the support for Biden by U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn in the South Carolina primary. That turned the tide for Biden, and doomed Sanders. On the other hand, I’m not sure that Sanders is what we need. He points in the right direction, but his campaign lacked the fully developed narrative and comprehensive platform that the historic moment requires. We need to reframe issues and forge new alliances.
