The Left’s Embrace of Racism Is Backfiring

Victor Davis Hanson exposes how racism became a political weapon—and warns Democrats that the backlash will be fierce, led by the very voters they claim to represent.

Victor Davis Hanson didn’t dance around it.

He opened by acknowledging that the topic he was about to raise was sensitive—but necessary.

“I'd like to talk about a more sensitive topic today,” he said.

“And that's this new appearance—or this growing, I would call it—reverse racism, or a racism that exists among some left-wing, elite Black leaders, politicians, celebrities.”

He made it clear this wasn’t a general accusation.

It was about a troubling pattern he’s seen at the highest levels of politics, media, and culture.

And he came prepared with receipts.
