There is a frequent focus on racial issues in the 2020 Democratic Party Convention platform, with language that repeatedly accuses White (European) Americans of benefitting unfairly from society at the expense of minorities. Take the following passage from the preamble, for example....
"We will give hate no safe harbor. We will never amplify the voices of bigotry, racism (Ahem! That's fucking rich coming from the Democratic Party whose base now includes the Marxist, anti-White "Black Lives Matter" organization !), misogyny, anti-semitism (Democratic Congresswomen like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tliab ?), Islamophobia or white supremacy."
Here are some more examples of disparaging remarks targeting White Americans...
* "there is a persistent and PERNICIOUS racial wealth gap that holds millions of Americans back, with the typical white household holding six times more wealth than the typical Latino family and ten times more wealth than the typical Black family."
* "It takes a typical Black woman 19 months to earn what a typical white man earns in 12 months - and for typical Latina and Native American women, it takes almost Two years." (NB: throughout the platform "White" is always printed with a lower-case "w", while all of the other racial/ethnic groups are printed in upper case, for example: Black, Latino, Muslim, Native American, and so on).
* "Black children are also more likely than white children to suffer from asthma."...."Latinos, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Black Americans are diagnosed with diabetes at a higher rate than whites."..."Black women are more than three times as likely to die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women."
* The Platform critcises President Trump, alleging that his..."words and actions have given safe harbor and encouragement to bigots, anti-semites, Islamophobes and white supremacists."
* The extreme gap in household wealth and income between people of colour - especially Black Americans, Latinos and Native Americans - and white families is hurting our working class (Ahem ! Since when in the last six decades has the Democratic Party given a hairy, rat's ass about America's working class; for example, those that Hillary Clinton called the "deplorables" and Barack Hussein Obama, the "clingers", of the "Rust Belt" ?) and holding our country back,"...."Each year the US spends 23 billion more on schools in predominantly white districts than in non-white districts."
* "We will root out systemic racism (Erm...what exactly is "systemic racism", I've not ever heard a cogent definition of it yet ?) from our military justice system, where Black service members are two times as likely to face court-martial than whites."
* Democrats intend to ..."confront white nationalist terrorism and combat hate crimes perpetrated against religious minorities," while "counterterrorism priorities, footprints, and tools should shift accordingly, including to respond to the growing threat from white supremacist and other right - wing terrorist groups."
