In reply to the discussion: As a black loyal Democrat, I say SCREW the white working class who insist on voting Republican [View all]NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)Your thread title was "Identity politics didn't cost Democrats the election. White people did."
When a group is blamed for costing Democrats the election and it does not specify then it implies ALL of the group.
Imagine the outrage if someone started a thread entitled "Terrorism didn't cause 9/11. Muslims did."
You do NOT lump people together and expect people not to get offended and pissed.
You should have just gone in and edited your damn OP to change the title and then note that the title is offensive to some but you wanted to share the article. That would have prevented people getting offended, but instead you argued with people as if they were wrong for being offended by the thread title. You brought that ire onto yourself by not handling the outrage properly.
