Elie Mystal: White People Have Decided that Multiracial Democracy ‘Is Not a Project They Want To Be in’

MYSTAL: "I mean, look, you can go to white south Africans who are living in cape town and, you know, 1975. And they’D be like, I’m not on robben island. What does this have to do with me? Right? Like, that’s, that’s your mentality there. If you are okay living in an apartheid country, then it doesn’t have anything to do with you. I happen to believe that when one when one of us isn’t free, all of us aren’t free. And I happen to believe that the way that you stop Republican racism, the way that you stop this white supremacist, these white supremacist decisions, is to reject them, is to put party, to put country over party, to put morality over party, and to reject the Republican agenda. But we see time and time and time and again white Americans won’t do that. The democratic candidate for president has not carried the white vote since the passage of the 1964 civil rights act. That’s not a phase.”
