When the primary season started, Democrats practically broke their arms,

patting themselves on the back, drive by media buddies,

celebrated to Democrats for having the most diverse presidential field ever,

two black senators, a Latino, former cabinet secretary,

an Asian-American businessman, and the first American Samoan elected to Congress.

But now there's no more joy. The New York Times is bemoaning a horrible development.

The Democrats top-tier candidates are all white.

Plugged Biden, crazy Bernie, polka-hottis-war, and mayor Pete,

they're at the top of the heap, while candidates of color

are languishing in the low single digits in the polls, says the Times.

And they're having trouble raising money. Only one of these candidates of color

might make it to the Democrats' December debate, and that's the flailing Kamala Harris.

So how did this sad state of affairs happen?

Well, one reason the Times gives is that plugs Biden earned a lot of black support,

due to his association with the one. The Times also notes that the

diverse candidates are not Obama. In other words, maybe they just aren't that good,

and compared to Obama. But maybe the real answer is something the Times doesn't dare print.

Maybe Obama was a one-off, a historic aflooc. Now that he's over Democrats

have returned to their natural state, a party ruled by white supremacy and institutional racism.

Don't doubt me.
