More Race Hysteria from SJW's

[Aroura]

The KKK or Black Panthers would have identity politics, so they have that in common.
Maybe they could use that to come together.

You mean like people from the KKK being Republican and people from the BP being Democrat? Does identity politics mean that you lean a certain way politically because of the group you are in?

No, it means you identify your political leaning mostly based on who you identify as, and that identity is part of a group of people with the same or similar identity. Groups who practice identity politics focus on how they are different from who they see as the majority.
It is usually, though not always, used by those who see themselves as oppressed.  

Sometimes identity politics can be harmful, but as with most things, it's difficult (and incorrect) to make a blanket statement that they are 100% useful or 100% harmful. 

Also, often times people misuse this term in order to dismiss a certain group.  You will see this tactic quite often.  Accusing them of using identity politics when they are not.  A great example is the LGTB movement, which seeks not to highligh their difference from straight people, but to underscore how they are the same  (while accepting their differences).  There are other movements (the one that calls themselves Queer, something like that), that instead focus on celebrating and highlighting the differences.

Example of a groups that practices identity politics are Trump voters (MAGAS), and Black Lives Matter, and The more radical end of those calling themselves Femenists, but NOT the moderate, mainstream feminists.

And example of a group that refused to use identity politics was the one led by Martin Luther King Jr.  He wanted full integration, and celebrated the sameness of all peoples above their differences.

(p.s. Also, the definition is fuzzy, so you will see people argue of who and who does not even use identity politics, which in my opinion, has made the term complete garbage.  Must like SJW, it is now no longer leveled only at those who engage in the actual practice of it, but anyone who identifies with a group that they wish to discredit or insult.  Which we all do, really, for instance you identify as Catholic, but I sincerely doubt you engage in any Catholic Identity Politics, even though some of your politics no doubt stem from your Catholicism.)

Hope that helped clarify things.
