Many adjectives apply here. It’s all of the ones you’re thinking of. At the Netroots 2017 conference, a white female gubernatorial candidate was shouted down by supporters of a female black candidate for the same post, because of her being white instead of black, or something.







This description from the AJC is mind-blowing.

Democrat Stacey Evans’ speech to a conference of progressive activists descended into chaos on Saturday, as protesters interrupted her repeatedly and she struggled to make herself heard over chants of “support black women.” Evans, a Smyrna state legislator who is white, expected a tough audience at the Netroots Nation event, where her rival Stacey Abrams was treated like royalty. But she said she at least expected to be able to make it through her remarks. That didn’t happen. Almost as soon as she took the stage, a ring of demonstrators – some holding stark signs criticizing her – fanned out in front of Evans. The chanting soon followed. Pleading repeatedly for the room to speaks – “let’s talk through it,” she implored – the demonstrators at times drowned her out.

You can’t feel bad for Evans. Democrats wallow in identity politics. When it finally bites them in the butt, it’s a pain of their own making. Even so, that’s quite a hectic description. Therefore, here’s more.

“Oh, y’all, let’s just talk for a second. Georgia is my home,” she said. She eventually tried to plow through her speech, emphasizing left-leaning values that Democrats share. “As we built resistance to President Trump – not me, to Trump – we must unite over these ideals,” she said. One of the demonstrators, Monica Simpson, said she made her stand because she wanted to show she was “true to progressive values.” Asked why Evans hasn’t met that standard, Simpson couldn’t point to any votes or policy stances. But she said she wants “a candidate that truly speaks to my community.” “This is our opportunity, especially as black women, to make it known or clear that this is standing on true progressive values,” said Simpson, who lives in Atlanta. “And if you’re not, we’re going to make that clear.”

Not that a single democrat will take a lesson from this. But still.
