Or they use a phrase like \u2018communities of color.\u2019 I don\u2019t know anyone who speaks like that. I don\u2019t know anyone who lives in a \u2018community of color.\u2019 I know lots of white and black and brown people and they all live in \u2026 neighborhoods. There\u2019s nothing inherently wrong with these phrases. But this is not how people talk. This is not how voters talk. And doing it anyway is a signal that you\u2019re talking one language and the people you want to vote for you are speaking another language. This stuff is harmless in one sense, but in another sense it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Carville agreed that Democrats should talk more about race and racial justice, he believed that the language used should be something that regular Americans can understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to talk about race. We should talk about racial injustice. What I\u2019m saying is, we need to do it without using jargon-y language that\u2019s unrecognizable to most people \u2014 including most Black people, by the way \u2014 because it signals that you\u2019re trying to talk around them. This \u2018too cool for school\u2019 s*** doesn\u2019t work, and we have to stop it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere may be a group within the Democratic Party that likes this, but it ain\u2019t the majority. And beyond that, if Democrats want power, they have to win in a country where 18 percent of the population controls 52 percent of the Senate seats.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s a fact. That\u2019s not changing. That\u2019s what this whole damn thing is about,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Carville flatly stated wokeness is a problem and few Democrats are willing to admit it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWokeness is a problem and everyone knows it. It\u2019s hard to talk to anybody today \u2014 and I talk to lots of people in the Democratic Party \u2014 who doesn\u2019t say this. But they don\u2019t want to say it out loud,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>James Carville went on to argue that wokeness helped to create a perception that Democrats are a coastal, elitist party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s because large parts of the country view us as<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>an urban, coastal, arrogant party, and a lot gets passed through that filter. That\u2019s a real thing. I don\u2019t give a damn what anyone thinks about it \u2014 it\u2019s a real phenomenon, and it\u2019s damaging to the party brand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
