As I said in another thread, I think Democrats need to be willing to speak to some whites who just might be a little racist. I don’t mean pander to them or go along with their worldview - not at all.

They should be the party of equal opportunity and the party of economic fairness, and yes, they should be the party of diversity and inclusion, but I would stop short of saying that they should be the anti-racist party. {…}
