Identity Politics Loses Its Power

John Sutter : Black Lives Matter is critical of the Democratic Party's decision to elevate Kamala Harris without a primary.

He says the group is calling for a “virtual snap primary’s” that would give voters a chance to voice their preferences and concerns.

Sutter says it's a reminder of the limits of identity politics, which have exacerbated divisions they purported to heal.

Julian Zelizer : Black Lives Matter forced Americans to examine complex social, cultural, and political questions through the flattening lens of group identity and race.

He says it was tantamount to an expression of anti-Blackness to point out any equivalence of police brutality or the precarity of the lower classes.

The best way to undermine this kind of cheap rhetorical gambit is to eschew arguments based on identity in the first place, he says.
