As a socialist I agree that the democrats losing white working-class voters is a problem and it's refreshing to see a conservative agree.
The solution is to concentrate on economic issues but the Republic party does what it can to stir up racial animosity. It's the Republicans who benefit more from racial unrest since blacks are voting democratic regardless.
The solution with the democrats is to talk to white working class voters about economic issues and how government spending on education benefits them and greater regulation of wall street and corporations helps them.
The problem with the republic party is that they can't win on economics so they race bait. They benefit more from racial problems than democrats since they tend to gain misinformed white voters.

Your Narrative may have resonated outside the Liberal Fever Swamps a generation ago. Alas your analysis is stale.
The Democratic Party circa 2014 does little more than TAX the working middle class. Obamacare was the big wake-up call for white working class people. That is not a thesis, that was proven in the 2010 and 2014 midterms. They have essentially abandoned them in favor of a client-base that is comprised of little more than Coastal elites and minorities.
I am suggesting that Racial unrest may have a similar cultural effect on white working class people that causes them to run even faster from The Democrat Party that seems to be sponsoring it. I can't prove this, but it seems to be a logical reaction by the white working class electorate. It may even have the power to create new voters.
Obviously Dems have some burgeoning demographic advantages that are apparent in Presidential election years. But that advantage is muted significantly, if working class whites go to the polls and Democrats have an "average" candidate that fails to excite the minority base like Obama did.
