The Left Failed California Minorities, Now They Seek Solutions From The RightÂ
By Marc Ang
A surprising thing happened last November. The racist and divisive Proposition 16 failed miserably at the ballot box despite Biden winning the state by 29 points, and record spending by the âyes on 16â camp to the tune of $17 million, outspending the ânoâ side, which raised just over $1 million. Californians were tired of race-baiting by the left, and actually wanted nuance on the affirmative action issue, which the âNoâ campaign aptly redefined as ârace-based preferencesâ.
That was just the beginning. This year, as a community organizer, I have engaged and befriended so many from the other side of the aisle, especially in the Black, Hispanic and Asian communities who are grappling with issues like law and order, public safety, vaccinations, school choice, sex education in public schools and many more. What I have seen is a community even more engaged than ever, seeking to understand and find solutions. This was proven in the ballot box in states like Florida and Texas where previously Hispanic-dominated locales flipped from blue to red. In addition, Californian inner city districts saw improved numbers for Republicans.
