GOP in Civil War; Democrats Head Towards Race War

Chris Christie and Rand Paul had a disagreement last month over issues such as national security. The battle that began before 2008 and burst open in 2012 will take center stage in the 2016 battle for president. The media has covered this extensively, and it will decide the GOP's future for the next generation.

What hasn't been covered as much is the brewing race war in the Democratic party. Multiculturalism is finally reaching the tipping point, to where white people are a minority and no longer represent the base of the party.

Feminists on Twitter say #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen
Whose voices are most heard when it comes to feminism? On Monday, the hashtag #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen trended worldwide as Twitter users criticised what they call the exclusion of nonwhite women from mainstream feminism.

The hashtag was originally coined by blogger Mikki Kendall during a Twitter debate about Hugo Schwyzer, an American academic and self-described "male feminist". Schwyzer has been accused of harassing non-white female bloggers and recently wrote that his critics drove him offline.

The debate quickly went global as netizens from South Africa to Japan started using the hashtag. Many said they felt excluded from mainstream feminism and shared examples from media outlets and pop culture.
This is going to be a big story in coming years. It might even explode in 2016 because white Hillary Clinton is the presumed Democratic nominee for president.
