evidence for the racialization of American politics?
Some recent results of the November election amplify the theme of racialization of American politics.
Ron Brownstein’s “White Flight” has some familiar themes.
60% of Whites voted Republican (actually higher because the 60% includes Jews and Middle Easterners classified as White but who identify with the non-White coalition centered in the Democratic Party).
Meanwhile, 73% of non-White voters backed Democratic House candidates, showing that non-Whites are even more biased in the direction of Democrats than Whites are in the direction of Republicans. Attitudes toward Obama were slightly more skewed.
Reflecting White anxiety about a non-White future, “minorities were almost exactly twice as likely as whites to say that life would be better for the next generation than for their own; whites were considerably more likely to say that it would be more difficult.”
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. For whites, becoming a minority could hardly be thought of as improving one’s life chances—indeed, it may be a whole lot worse even than current voters anticipate given that so many non-Whites hold historical grudges against the traditional people and culture of America.
That’s why I believe that the racialization of American politics will become even more extreme in the future.
Presently the base of the Republican Party is the White working class of both sexes and White college-educated men (both voting 2-1 Republican) as well as White seniors (60% Republican).
In the last election, even college-educated White women tilted toward Republicans, but only barely.
Despite the fact that the mainstream liberal media presents the Republicans as the party of rich folks, it’s obvious that racial identity politics are far more important than social class for voting Republican, especially for White non-college educated voters.
And yet, despite some real movement on illegal immigration, the Republicans have a long history of doing nothing about the #1 long-term problem facing the party: Massive legal non-White immigration.
The landside of non-Whites voting Democrat cuts across social class lines and it’s very doubtful that this will substantially change in the future even if the Republicans completely embrace open borders.
None of this means that Obama will not be reelected in 2012. As Brownstein notes, “partly because the minority share of the vote will almost certainly rise again in 2012, Obama probably won’t need to match his 2008 percentage of the white vote to win a second term.” Not only will non-Whites make up a larger percentage of the electorate (likely around 35% if people of non-European ancestry classified as Whites are included), non-Whites, especially Blacks, will be more motivated. Blacks comprised 10% of the electorate in 2010 while in 2008 they were 13%. They will be out in force in 2012 to support their Black president, as they were in 2008.
You pretty much prove the point of the racial anxiety by defining sane as "any white person that rejects ethnocentrism" while not applying the same standard for nonwhites
Answer: race is not an issue with the sane(right wingers)

Lexington County State Senator Jake Knotts addressed the General Assembly yesterday on the ethnic slur he made recently during an Internet political talk show.
Knotts had criticized fellow State Senator and GOP candidate for governor Nikki Haley, as well as President Obama, by calling them "ragheads" -- a jab at those who wear turbans or headdresses.
"I deeply regret the remarks that I said and have already apologized before anyone even asked me to," Knotts told his fellow lawmakers. "Im sorry that my disgusting remarks have offended some people.

Answer: Obama has attention deficit disorder. I think mental defects are caused by serving in government. Or government service attracts defective people. One or the other. Have you watched Nancy Pelosi? She reminds me of a serial killer with a frozen smile. What a wack job.
