"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together."

There are three mammals in this picture. One is Melania Trump, one is a horse's ass, and the third is a horse.
That's Melania talking

Today, Donald Trump announced that not only does he not believe in global warming, but that he’s certain the world is actually getting colder.
From now on, he will be traveling by his new horse-drawn presidential sleigh, Snowforce One.

OMG! He even molests horses!

This Paul Krugman column from a few days ago shows some flickers of recognition of the origins of America's political divide.
The New Economy and the Trump Rump
Unfortunately, Krugman doesn't go quite far enough here. His answers to the question of regional inequality seem to boil down to: Nothing can be done, the divide is here to stay, urbanites will just have to turn out in huge numbers at elections to swamp out the votes of the benighted MAGA hillbillies.
As far as I'm concerned, that's not good enough.
I think economists need to devote a lot more energy to the problem of regional inequality than they have, and policy makers may need to accept that we may need to put in place policies that are "economically dumb" -- ones that reduce productivity to some degree and make the country collectively poorer than it could potentially be, in order that wealth be distributed in a fairer way, geographically (and class-wise as well).
A big part of the issue is that politicians have for decades seen themselves as having one main job: grow the economy. The only meaningful measure of success is how fast GDP is increasing, and there is no attention paid to how fairly that GDP growth is distributed, either in terms of geography or class. This is leading to most of the wealth allocated to smaller and smaller areas of the country and, really, to a smaller and smaller upper echelon of people in those wealthy regions. This is a recipe for massive resentment and social division.
The amount of "social engineering" required to reverse this may be substantial, but the alternative of the country ripping itself apart is worse.
Also, Democrats have largely made the assumption that bigotry is a fixed and absolute attribute of voters. People are either bigots, or they are not. But that's not how humans work in reality. All of us are subject to prejudice, just not to the same degree; some of us make an effort to judge individuals based on the evidence of their behavior despite our preconceptions, while others think it's completely fine to default to stereotypes of demographic groups outside their own.
And those prejudices are not static, but subject to outside influence. The rural regions of America are being subjected to a steady campaign of disinformation and hatemongering designed to increase bigotry to deliver votes to the GOP and advance the agendas of wealthy elites. The Left needs to be doing something to combat this rampant disinformation that is fueling more and more hate.
Basically, I think the Dems need to think about both how they are can fight the impoverishment of rural regions AND also how they can prevent those who are impoverished from being brainwashed into incorrectly believing the cause of their economic grievance is "parasitic" American ethnic minorities and "evil" foreign nations.

Poor little G Papa doesn't want to serve the fourteen days he was sentenced to for lying to the feds. Dude, at least it wasn't a bullet or fourteen months which is far more common in cases like yours.

"Anon @ 2:45 PM:

He tried, but the tools he employed were, let's just say, way more business-friendly than required. This is a job that will need a sledgehammer, not tweezers. What I mean is that there are no "small government" solutions to this problem. We may have to break out Chinese-government-type top-down socialistic central planning.
It usually won't work to offer a tax incentive to try to persuade a business to locate in some blighted area, because no tax incentive will ever be enough to make up for the massive negatives of moving to that area. Government will have to force that business to locate its new division in a blighted area, even when it makes no damn business sense to do so.
We have, for years, been told that the free market always works out best, and it's "what makes America great." Now that that's turning out to be false, in many cases, the adherents to that ideology have no policy levers to pull to fix dire social problems. They're stumped.
I can imagine the horror this suggestion will provoke in certain quarters, but the horrified people have no plan for success; they just want to keep on with the unacceptable status quo as the nation goes to hell in a handbasket.
Like seeks Like.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Trump asks Melania to have a threesome with a horse's ass.
> the alternative of the country ripping itself apart is worse.
Too late. You've already declared half the country (the PRODUCTIVE half of the country, not the coastal parasite classses) "deplorables" who deserve to be nuked if they won't give up their guns. (Guess where the nukes are located, why doncha?)
> The rural regions of America are being subjected to a steady campaign of disinformation and hatemongering designed to increase bigotry to deliver votes to the GOP and advance the agendas of wealthy elites.
The RURAL regions are bombarded by disinformation? First remove the log in your own eye. You've descended into insanity like declaring that someone with a fully functional dick and balls can be a girl if he says he is, and anyone who says different is guilty of a hate crime.
The country is either dividing or going into civil war, and the only way to stop it is for you to surrender unconditionally and go into treatment. You won't, so the fission is inevitable.
> We may have to break out Chinese-government-type top-down socialistic central planning.
You always think that the problem is that you are not in charge of everything. You/re wrong, and no number of horrendous examples ever enlightens you.
> Government will have to force that business to locate its new division in a blighted area, even when it makes no damn business sense to do so.
The blight is the criminal population that lives there. You can destroy companies by forcing them to locate there, but that is all you will do. You could improve matters by ruthlessly punishing criminal behavior and forcing the blight-creating population to shape up, but you worship them as idols and declare they can do no wrong. That is why YOU are ultimately THE problem.
Getting rid of the problem requires getting rid of YOU.
Melania confused as to which one is the big horse's ass.
You just know that Melanin Trump gets wet when she sees the Donald fondle animals.
Whoa Bossie!!!!!
