1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: When the primary season started, Democrats practically broke their arms,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: patting themselves on the back. Drive by media buddies celebrated

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats for having the most diverse presidential field ever,

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: two black senators, a Latino former Cabinet secretary, an Asian

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: American businessman, and the first American Samoan elected to Congress.

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: But now there's no more joy. The New York Times

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: is bemoaning a horrible development. The Democrats top tier candidates

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: are all white. Plugs Biden, Crazy, Bernie Pocahontas, Warren mayor

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Pete there at the top of the heap, while candidates

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: of color are languishing in the low single digits in

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the polls, says The Times, and they're having trouble raising money.

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Only one of these candidates of color might make it

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: to the Democrats December debate, and that's the flailing Kamala Harris.

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: So how did this sad state of affairs happen? Well?

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: One reason The Times gives is that Plugs Biden earned

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of black support due to his association with

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the One at Times also notes that the diverse candidates

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: are not Obama. In other words, maybe they just aren't

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: that good and compared to Obama. But maybe the real

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: answer something the Times doesn't dare print. Maybe Obama was

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: a one off, a historical fluke. Now that he's over,

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Democrats have returned to their natural state, a party ruled

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: by white supremacy and institutional racism. Don't doubt me.
