Rep Mo Brooks (R-AL) claims Democrats are engaged in a "War on Whites"

[Mustang]

You've heard of the recently described war on women, of course. It sprang from the whole anti-birth control debate which ran the gamut from anti-abortion legislation to corporations wanting to dictate what they would and wouldn't pay for in company health care plans. Then there is the ever-popular yearly so-called 'war on Christmas' which is a perennial favorite topic of Bill O'Reilly, who almost single-handedly keeps the issue alive every December.

Well, Republican Congressman Mo Brooks from Alabama believes there's a war on Whites being waged by Democrats.

What's the thinking here? Could he be hoping to draw even more White people to the Republican Party if or when they come to believe that they should vote in a racial block? I wonder.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Republican congressman from Alabama says Democrats are engaged in a "war on whites."


Congressman Mo Brooks made his comment on conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham's program on Monday. He said the Democratic Party claims white people hate everyone else and that it's part of President Barack Obama's strategy of dividing people on the basis of race, sex and class.
The remarks came in a discussion of immigration legislation passed last week by the House that could result in increased deportations.
Brooks was responding to analysis saying that the Republican Party risks losing any appeal to Latino voters and will not be able to be successful in a national race if it appeals only to white voters.


"This is a part of the war on whites that's being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they are launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else," said Brooks. "It's a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued it in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, creed, envy, class warfare - all those kinds of things."


Brooks defended his comments in a phone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press and disputed the suggestion they were incendiary. He said that Democrats were the ones being incendiary, pointing to comments including an assertion by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi this year that the GOP's failure to act on comprehensive immigration legislation had something to do with race.


"Race should not be an issue in public policy debates, we should be colorblind, we should be the melting pot," Brooks told The AP. "But so long as the Democrats have a political campaign strategy to divide Americans based on skin pigmentation then they are the ones who are fanning the fires and doing a disservice to our country, not those who try to hold the Democrats accountable for what is a very counterproductive and sinister campaign tactic."


Congress is beginning a five-week summer recess.

The concept of Democrats' supposed hostility toward Whites (and White males) in favor of minorities and women actually worked pretty well for Republicans in the latter part of the early days of the civil rights and women's rights era of the 1970s when Reagan won the support of disaffected White Southerners and rode that disaffection all the way to the White House in 1980.

But nowadays when the Demographic numbers and trends are no longer on the side of White Republicans, this could get really ugly if politicians try to turn elections into a more open contest between political parties in terms of which party best serves the interests of whites versus minorities.
