Dems have to thread a needle to avoid alienating them with too much idpol while also ensuring that their party doesn't become beholden to any singular interest in the coalition, which is a much more fractious alliance than the Republican "We vote for money and heavily favor seniority for seniority's sakes" arrangement

It's a balancing act and the web of patronage and influence peddling is why party veterans like Schumer and Pelosi manage to stick around so long. There are only so many people who have enough credibility with the major pillars of the party to stay on top

i don't really think it's a racism thing; for whatever reason otherwise classically successful (well regarded in business, the sciences, or academia) and politically deft minority leaders in the us don't seem to engage in democratic politics as much. many of the ones they do bring on are basically groomed AA puppets. maybe they catch on to the "money buys politics" nature of things quicker than overly-idealistic whites do and spend their energy on business instead. in any case proper political training is expensive and time-intensive and afaik neither party really engages in a program oriented around the leaders themselves, more just the staff and apparatchiks

i'd guess that, for those sorts, the republican buy-out offer is higher anyhow. they need phony astroturfed minority representation more. as for a situation where race is more likely to be a factor, i assume a black or hispanic man unwilling to toe the dogmatic line is probably subject to a more strict censor than a white doing the same. looks a lot worse (for the party's image) amongst the represented demographic's caucus

neither here nor there but the bankrupt, tribal American fascination with idpol is, and continues to be, really stupid and a perpetual hamper on either party's unity down more general lines relating to universal, applicable-to-all ideals. for whites, republicans, there's a pretense that it's purely playing defense, and while this has been historically truer than not on a normal day at some point it's tipped over into being just as toxic as the opposite or perhaps contrapositive
