Hillary Clinton's "hardworking Americans" comment seemed to exclude blacks. Donna Brazile's "new" Democratic vision marginalized working-class whites and Latinos. How does the party unite?

    "WHITE: We did. You go back to work now. I'm going to deposit my refund check and buy a new jet ski. See you on the beach!

    BLACK: Yeah. See you on the beach. If they don't cancel the bus route from my neighborhood to the shore. Or if I don't get arrested for daring to walk around in a rich, all-white, beachfront neighborhood."

    Wow, you have a distorted view of the world. The black person goes back to work while the white person goes to the beach? White people don't work? And, while we're at it, why do you automatically assume that the black person depends on public transportation. Black people do buy cars, you know. They often live in rich, not so all white, beachfront neighborhoods. Go...walk around your neighborhood. You'll probably see a few black people.
