“Identity politics” is redundant

The Rude Pundit (using language) says what I think about the Alabama election: Black people saved the country. Making sure they are not disenfranchised is the most important thing the Democrats can do.

I tend to think that people complaining about 'identity politics' are complaining about the insistence of people like me on not being ashamed of and silent about how our demographics affect our lives, but the discussion here has given me food for thought.

The people with the lolly and the powers of lolly-distribution get to identify themselves simply as The Best, obscuring any other identifiers they may lavishly and obviously embody. (And, after all, it's quite true that they don't want to enrich and empower all White men.)
