Fox News Column Slams Democrats' Race Obsession in NY-12 Primary

Democrats reacted with fury to the Supreme Court's recent decision barring race as a factor in drawing Congressional districts, a ruling that ended decades of gerrymandering. The decision highlights the party's outdated views on race relations.

Democrats claim white voters will not elect non-white candidates, just as in the 1960s, so districts must have black, Hispanic or Asian majorities. Black politicians like former President Barack Obama disprove this.

New York's 12th Congressional District stands out as one place where white voters appear to support only white candidates. Kalshi prediction market rankings list just four contenders: Jake Schlossberg, Micah Lasher, Alex Bores and George Conway. All are white men.

A recent New York Magazine cover featured these four white men competing for the NY-12 seat on Manhattan's Upper East and West sides. The district is only 62 percent white, yet the cover ignored minority candidates.

The district has been held by Rep. Jerry Nadler since 1992. It was drawn as a majority-white area amid ethnic enclaves, stretching from Bensonhurst in South Brooklyn across the East River to the Upper West Side, skipping Chinatown.

This primary features Jake Schlossberg of the Kennedy family, George Conway, ex-husband of Kellyanne Conway, and two others resembling them, one with a beard. They oppose Trump and voice support for diversity.

The column suggests Democrats either see Manhattan whites as racist and misogynist, electing only white men, or insist on race-based districts despite the Supreme Court. Donors backed a white winner for this seat.

Former President Joe Biden pledged to pick a black woman for Supreme Court justice, excluding 95 percent of the country from consideration.

Republicans show otherwise. Byron Donalds leads polls for Florida's GOP gubernatorial nomination. Abigail Spanberger beat Winsome Sears, a black woman Republicans nominated for Virginia governor.

White Republicans elect black candidates to Congress and governorships. White Democrats in New York's richest area offer four white men.

Democrats treat the nation as racial fiefdoms: Somalis in Minneapolis, Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, Arabs in Dearborn, Michigan. They expect these groups to send their own to Congress.

Democrats reject a colorblind society where any candidate can win any district. Without racism threats, they lose power. The Southern Poverty Law Center funded racists it opposed, showing the left's reliance on racism.

Americans have moved past racial obsessions gripping Democrats. November elections may prove it, with Donalds as Florida governor unrelated to race, and a NY-12 white winner chosen for that trait.
