The year 1985 isn't just the year the Chicago Bears had the most dominant team in the NFL. It was the year a messianic figure descended into Chicago. Barack Obama arrived in the city as Harold Washington became the first Black Mayor of ascended to power against the Democratic institutions owned by the Daley family. In Hyde Park, the epicenter of Independent Voter of Illinois politics. The man with dark skin and a white mother found fertile ground to lay the foundation to him becoming a historical figure.
The federal charges, politics and entertainment enterprise of one Sean "Puffy" Combs are an intersection where politically low-skill-set Voters and political parties who need their endorsement meet. Mr. Combs was a valuable resource to the Democratic party for over two decades. It allowed him to go from party promoter, to mogul too mean dog bisexual child/human trafficker/pimp.
Democrats haven't been this disheveled since a Republican freed the slaves. Race politics isn't stagnant. It evolves like all human behavior. The 2008 presidential election was the genesis of biracial politics. The 2024 presidential election is equally powerful in exposing the American biracial voter class flexing its nascent power. They represent the “identity politics” that is inconvenient for the traditional white liberal progressives who dominate the modern Democratic party.
