Maxine Waters has never been the mildest and most judicious of politicians, but there is a method to her current madness.
African Americans have the lowest unemployment rate ever under Trump and are beginning to have more cash and better lives.
The identity politics problem is more treacherous than that, however.
Its tentacles are everywhere, destroying lives and keeping the people down they are supposed to be helping, denying their individuality and encouraging them to identify as victims.
Now they preserve and exacerbate division and create - as outrageous as it may sound - a kind of nostalgia for a racism that no longer exists, turning people backwards who might otherwise be prepared to move on and accept people as people.
Encouraging people to identify as groups and not as individuals was done most famously by the man with whom Donald Trump is so often compared by his more deranged detractors.
This of course is Stalin in the USSR, where people were required to carry internal passports identifying them as Jews, Tatars, Russians, etc.
