Is it your position that only D’s divide the country, or do you believe they that they get some help

He's more adept at producing logical, coherent arguments than the people allegedly teaching him.

In the end, if you force whites to identify as whites, they will. And when they do, it won't go well

Many already do and R’s since Nixon and Reagan have played it like a fiddle.

You go back pretty far...far enough that the Dems were doing worse.

You should read some history. Prior to 65, the R’s were much better on race.

Involved in a case once where an all-Black jury convicted a Haitian in a few seconds.

Or maybe they convicted him quickly because he was obviously guilt not because they were bigoted

Identity politics = anything that whites don’t like

What about things that blacks or hispanics or asians or eastern Europeans, etc., etc. don't like

Of course it is. We have been playing indentity politics since the first boat of Irish immigrants

Total. Bullshit.

Only minorities practice “identity politics,” then?

Gosh, you stink at debating.

The "human flaw" you're referring to is tribalism.

Pinker's thesis is wrong. Much of human history was relatively peaceful.

As the article essentially states, tribalism is both an asset and a liability

You and me both, as I've often said: "I don't like people in general."

I'm commanded to love them, not like them.

That's a great line.

You’re dead wrong on this one. That opinion is an outlier.

Collective, inter-tribal warfare was infrequent over those millennia.
