Michael Eric Dyson writes:
"It may be that Mr. Trump's views reveal something just as devastating as not caring for black people : not knowing us.
Mr. Trump is not alone in this deliberate ignorance, as postellection calls on the left to forget about identity politics have shown. If there is a dirty secret in American life, it is this: The real unifying force in our national cultural and political life,beyond skirmishes over ideology, is white identity masked as universal, neutral and ,therefore, quintessentially American. The greatest purveyors of identity politics today , and for the bulk of our country;s history, have been white citizens ."
