Is the Democratic Party racist against black candidates?

Black Democrats are blaming the Democratic Party for black candidates losing winnable races.
This can only mean that the Democratic Party is racist.
LIBERALISM IS THE SYSTEMIC RACISM THAT LIBERALS COMPLAIN ABOUT
The campaign manager for Mandela Barnes, the Democrat who lost in the Wisconsin Senate race, claims that their campaign wasn’t able to “communicate at the same levels” as Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), trying to pressure the party into funding her upcoming Senate campaign in California, claims that Democrats could have won Senate races with the right investment in Cheri Beasley (North Carolina) and Val Demings (Florida). (Demings lost her race by 16 points).
According to Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), there is “not a strong enough black political infrastructure to support black candidates across the country,” and “people have felt like Democrats aren’t fighting hard enough — for black men in particular.” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) said that people need to see black candidates as “Senate leaders,” with just one of the Senate Democratic leaders being black. Lee added that “black women have the highest systemic barriers to success” and “other more establishment” candidates are over-funded.
Now, envision for a second any other area of business outside of politics. What would be the reaction from Democrats and their liberal activists if black employees claimed that a business was not promoting them to leadership positions or underfunding projects from black managers compared to others?
They would cry racism, of course. We know this because it is currently playing out in the NFL’s hiring season once again, with activists and media figures saying the league is racist every time a plausible black candidate is not hired for an open head coaching job. Cigna and the Progressive Corporation are among those who have imposed racial quotas (officially or unofficially) on employment under activist pressure, and Texas A&M University is accused of doing the same.
But somehow, that energy does not carry over when the Democratic Party is credibly accused of shortchanging black candidates. That is why Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) can claim that more black women need to be elected even while maintaining she, a white woman, understands black issues better and should be made a senator. It is also why Democrats can claim their own party is shorting black candidates without causing a five-alarm racism fire. Somehow, the most racist party in the history of America and perhaps the world gets a free pass on this issue today.

The racial obsession of the Democratic Party is nothing more than a grift for personal ambitions. It is why Lee is claiming black candidates are underfunded in Senate campaigns even as she prepares to run for Senate — she is applying pressure out of self-interest. It is why Porter can ludicrously claim that black Democrats should be elected everywhere — well, unless they are running against her. It is also why the cries of racism ring louder in every other area of life, but are completely muted within the Democratic Party itself. It is all a scam that should be ignored.
