Swain: If We Want to Come Together We Need to Move Away from Identity Politics and Multiculturalism

‘If we want to come together, we need to move away from identity politics and multiculturalism and focus on the American national identity’

EXCERPT:

SWAIN: "And just coming out and denouncing white supremacy and painting everyone with the same broad brush does not solve the problem. There are black nationalists, there are white nationalists, there are Hispanic nationalists, so we can't say it's just one group. So the President was correct when he said that there were many more forces involved. Had the counter protesters not been there, maybe the entire rally would have ended differently. And these are people who are aggrieved over affirmative action, immigration, minority crime, and just what they see as discrimination against white people. If we want to come together, we need to move away from identity politics and multiculturalism and focus on the American national identity. That's the only way we're going to be able to get beyond this."
