working class as there is in the country. i wish we would stop using the term alt right. they are white supremacists an they hate women and they ve been out there. i ve been a columnist for 15 years and my first dem threats came in 2002 after i wrote about it is time to take down the confederate flag. they have always been there. breitbart gave them permission to crawl out from under their rock and expose themself to the light of dave and now they have a president who they perceive to be giving them permission to go out in public and start attacking other americans. i just don t think we should give breitbart all of the credit here for these people coming out. this is building for quite sometime and my concern about bannon, far more than what reach he might have with his we ll be talking about breitbart so much more now. and having a reach in the white working class and i worry about his accolades still in the white house and in littered throughout this administration.
americans are prone to believe negative racial stereotypes about people of color, the black victims of that storm were demonized and even sometimes you would have two side by side photos of white victims of katrina trying to save themselves by picking up food and plaque victims said to be looting s looting so there is something in the american mindset that indulges in pig ottry and translated into politics and how do you fix that if the president deep down agrees with the people that have the racial conspiracy theories? well, i think america as a whole, we need to come to grips and i think we saw a bunch of people in boston today who had the guts to stand up and say, hey, the america that was portrayed in charlottesville is not the future of america and that is part of the past. and i think what might be missing in the president s repertoire is for instance in
from gland to massachusetts so right there in boston common, in boston massachusetts, and 400 year ofs of missioimmigration. and people understand the importance of american is values and so those two movements very dangerous and we need to kick them out of the republican party. you sound like the sunday school is the same. and [ inaudible ]. cobby schultz, the other place that the alt right is looking to recruit is to play on anxiety of white working class americans. to sort of supply them with a villain to explain why they don t feel that they are doing as well as their parents and that villain has often been people of color, it was barack obama, whose somehow not a real american and donald trump agreed with the birther movement and how vulnerable are white working class communities to the appeal to hate. i want to distress there is as much diversity in the white
it. there were a lot of people discriminating in queens and brooklyn against african-americans, including the trump family. i imagine what he will do now and a genuine change of heart and i m not seeing it thus far. he needs to convince us that he will be president for all americans an we need to see action. we need to see an administration that will support african-americans and other minorities that will support the right of our muslim brothers and sisters to live in this country on par with the rest of us. this is a free country. with freedom of religion. with racial justice. that is what we demand in the united states. republicans and democrats alike. so he needs to change his heart first. and i m just not saying seeing it this far. and maybe with the with steve bannon out of the white house,
that s a perfect example. and i m going to get jumped by saying this because i m in manhattan. no, you re not. i m not? no, you re not. the democratic party has lost white working class americans because of immigration. that s an issue. and there s such a blind spot that they don t understand, they really don t understand that for a lot of working class americans a flood of immigrants coming to the united states means not on they lose their jobs but they re smart enough to know it depresses their wages. so when they hear donald trump say let s lessen the number of immigrants coming to the united states of america, working class democrats think it s pretty good for wages. they have no coherence to the
