The cynical journalist H.L. Mencken an antidote to fatuous " identity politics "

Lovecraft biographer S.T. Joshi has written fairly and cogently about Lovecraft's racist streak - for which he should not be uniquely ostracized .

 I completely support the H.P. Lovecraft statue project. What matters to me is his political evolution ( seen in his LETTERS ) into a moderate socialist. 

DNC based " identity politics " is becoming increasingly vacuous and vicious. RACE and GENDER are not the keys to understanding all social inequality mysteries.

 These " liberals " can profit by reading the cynical H. L. Mencken too ( also smeared as a racist, anti-Semite ). The 2016 presidential election in the United States would have only " amused " Mr. Mencken.
