It IS needed to say that a human being is "blacK"

Why?

It cements the White Liberal's superior status - - which they treasure.

It allows the White Liberal never to let a black person be just that - a person. He's gotta be "African American Male" or if the White Liberal is really feeling paternal racist pride, he'll say "people of color"

It allows the White Liberal to remind the "black" person that his good fortune is a result of his disadvantaged race, AND because of the auspices of the White Liberal.

They can take umbrage but many times these paternal racists treat other people like playthings. No, NOT just because they've kept "blacks" in inner city failing schools. Not just because they promote and cheer the disintegration of nuclear families.

Just look how they talk.

"Kavanaugh"

"Roberts"

"Alito"

Yet for other SCOTUS picks with an ethnic sounding name they wouldn't give respect of the surname - they love saying "Ketanji" and "Kamala" .....and who can forget "TRAYVON!" - but not Martin, or Mr Martin.

These White 401K Liberals sit around in their non diverse enclaves, content that they've segregated blacks away from themselves, and can have a rather reliable vote based on dependence and resentment.

Mind you the Right has learned recently. We are fomenting the same thing with poor whites in the South and elsewhere.
