Castro should be leading this parade by double digits. Young, democrat, hispanic.
Wy D's haven't latched on to him is beyond explanation.

Saw some of that yesterday. Sigh! Wish he'd go to SC and try that. The truth of the matter is that primary/caucus voters that are POC focus on issues,not race. By blaming Whitey, Castro is just insulting POC.

I don't know if he actually believes that, or if he is trying to bring some attention to a faltering campaign. The media certainly loved Barack Obama, as I'm confident Mr. Castro is well aware.

We'll see if Biden, Sanders, Warren, et.al., take the bait or simply ignore this minor candidate. Smart money is on the latter course.

I'm no rocket scientist, but my guess is because of the predominance of Americans are racist bigots?

Somebody had to blame whitey. Isn't that always the case?

Castro isn't a PJ poster.

Agree

Mr. Castro may be helping his own cause, but at the same time he is drawing attention to the "whiteness" of the Democratic debate.....Something I'm sure the party does not appreciate.

There may be repercussions down the road.....Stay tuned.

Yeah. He's spewing shit hoping something will stick and draw some attention to him self, however fleeting that will be.

It does seem to me however, the two candidates are all for a zero-sum game. In other words they will now start throwing one another under the bus and do what it takes in the name of gaining political cachet

That's the fun part...

So if Biden, or Bloomberg, or Sanders, or Warren game the Democratic nomination..

will it become a true statement that the Democrat party is the party of angry old rich white people? I think Kamala may be saying so, and Castro is attempting to say so... And the media has been saturating everything and everyone was that cast of the right, so it stands to reason that it is equally applicable to the angry old white people on the left

What say you?

What say you?

Open to interpretation I suppose. Accusing someone, or in this case an entire nation, of racism, is easy. It requires little to no thought, no compelling argument, no facts or preponderance of evidence. You just attach the label and it sticks. It's an easy go-to for smear mongers.

That doesn't exclude the possibility, however, that institutional racism does exist. Is it a coincidence that all of the top Dem candidates are white? Maybe, or maybe not. Eye of the beholder, and all that.

Waiting on Cory Booker....We'll see what he has to say about all this.

High drama.
