What if minorities in the US...

formed their own political party?

Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians make up 36% of the US population. If they could work together and get out the vote, they could turn the power structure of the US on its head. They couldn't be ignored or patronized anymore.

At this time that would primarily take votes from the Democrats so Republicans would win more.

It's an interesting political study to look at South Africa in the years since apartheid. At far higher than 36% of the population, there are still major challenges yet to be overcome.

So much of the problem is totally ingrained, and difficult to change, on many levels.

It's an interesting idea, but we're not talking about monolithic groups which could easily form a political alliance simply based on being minorities.

Do you think "no whites allowed" is a good slogan for such a party?

Unfortunately even minorities are prone to thinking we are.

A race based political party? Now where have we heard that before in our history?

Actually I would use modern politics own tools against them. Form a lobbying group and buy off your very own special interest politician.

Wandering Monk that would surely lead to a racist agenda within your own country and probably a racial war as well. As to that 36 percent of the population that you mentioned about acquiring more power for themselves. I do not understand. Does not that power belong to the fullness of one people within your country.? I think it’s called the American people

The problem in the U.S. is that the people are divided. You have the poor and lower class white people and the “minorities” fighting each other. But if they worked together to fight for their common goals you would have a major force for change. Keep them divided and the rich upper class just keeps getting richer.

I never suggested that the party would only have minorities in it. I expect there would be substantial numbers of whites in the party who sympathize and support the party. It would be a party that recognizes and utilizes the the power of that coalition to move the country to FINALLY doing something meaningful for minorities.
