A Charlotte mayoral candidate wants people to know that she’s Republican, smart
– and white. “VOTE FOR ME!” Kimberley Paige Barnette posted on Facebook. “REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL.”...

Asked how the city could help its lower-income residents, Barnette said, “I don’t think we should encourage more lower-income people to (come to) Charlotte. We should attract higher-income people.”

Ta-nehisi Coates was right, folks -- the age of white identity politics has begun. How long until local politicians start openly embracing alt-right figures like they once did with the Klan?
