Rep. Stacey Evans is a white candidate in the Democratic Gubernatorial race for Georgia.
Ms. Evans was shouted down and harassed by a primarily black audience in an Atlanta event at the Hyatt Regency on August 12. The audience was in favor of her opponent, Ms. Abrams, who is black. The audience tag line for the shout down was "Trust Black Women". Sounds racist maybe? Maybe you're not sure if that is racist?
It is easy to check for racism. Completely flip the scenario and see what conclusion you get to.
Imagine that a primarily white audience, in favor of the white candidate, shouts down and refuse to let the competitor speak. The competitor is black, and the shout down is the tag line "Trust White Women". Can you imagine how MSM heads would explode if that reverse scenario happened. So this situation in Atlanta over the week-end can be easily confirmed as racism by simply imagining the reverse scenario.
The chickens are coming home to roost for the Democrats.
After 8+ years of Obama sewing racial division and increasing the racial divide to an extent that was not widely anticipated, the Democrats political tent is crumbling. Their tent is becoming too small to hold all of their traditional special interest groups.
Without the coalition of many special interest groups that was used with great political skill by both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama to cobble together the votes needed for eight years in the big house, the Democrats are going to find themselves on the outside looking in for a long time. The path to success for Democrats has always been uniting the many special interest groups into hating on the "others" on the right, and hating big business, and hating the lucky one percenters, and hating on those that cling to guns and bibles, and hating on any other group that the Democrats can use to stir up envy and greed and class/racial divisions. That is the traditional Democratic playbook. But once they lose control of the small special interest groups and these groups start hating on each other inside the Democratic tent, then they are going to be lost and wandering in the wilderness for a generation. Or more.

Georgia state Rep. Stacey Evans, a white Democrat seeking the party’s nomination for governor, struggled to get through her speech Saturday at the Netroots Nation Conference in Atlanta as supporters of her Democratic rival, state Rep. Stacey Abrams, who is black, repeatedly shouted over her.Ms. Abrams, who hopes to become the country’s first black female governor, was “treated like royalty” at the liberal event compared to Ms. Evans, who could barely eke out a sentence over disruptions and chants of “support black women,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Ms. Abrams, on the other hand, said she would not “condemn peaceful protest” and that the demonstrators were simply voicing their grievances over Ms. Evans’ positions on education.“From what I observed from Savannah, activists in Atlanta peacefully protested this morning on the critical issue of preserving public education for every family in our state,” she wrote in a series of tweets Saturday. “The mantra of ‘trust black women’ is an historic endorsement of the value of bringing marginalized voices to the forefront, not a rebuke to my opponent’s race.”The race between Ms. Abrams, who dedicated her Netroots message to mobilizing black voters, and Ms. Evans, who has focused mainly on winning back white working-class voters, has caused a divide in the state’s Democratic party, the Journal-Constitution reported.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
This quote from MLK embodies all that is good about America. We need more people to follow this wisdom. And believe it about yourself and believe it about others.
We must care more about the content of our character, than we do about the color of our skin.
Please upvote if you missed this episode at Democratic Netroots over the week-end in Atlanta. MSM was focused on Charlottesville. Which gave them a great excuse for not have to focus or talk about this event in Georgia.
STEEM On!!
