(9,286 posts)Hint: "he should have just said that". Well, he didn't say it, so your sentiment is pure projection. It takes quite a leap to ascribe his comments to his mindset, even though there is clear evidence that he wasn't articulating his mindset when he called wokeness a problem. You have to completely disregard the first part of the interview to make this stretch. It is just as clear that he was not speaking to the victims of racism. He wasn't speaking to anyone in particular, black or white or yellow. He was speaking ABOUT a problem of communicating with voters. It is absolutely clear that his mention of wokeness being a problem belongs entirely in this context, and no other. It is unfortunate that the simplest and the most obvious interpretation of the interview doesn't quite fit your narrative, but it is what it is.
To be clear, this is not a rejection of your arguments in principle, it is a rejection of your arguments in the context of Carville's interview.
