After 60 years of failure, you’d think they’d wise up.
Is there anything worse than white people? You likely wouldn’t be surprised to hear that at a dinner party thrown by leftists, especially now that they’ve ditched their rich old white guy for a rich younger woman of mixed ethnicity. Before last week, Democrats had to pretend to like white people, now they don’t. They’re still owned by rich, mostly white people, but none of them openly talk about their elite overlords, they just pretend that not being white or being a woman is “diverse,” even though being diverse requires multiple people, making it impossible for an individual to be it.
But reality has never been a barrier for the left, on anything. If they were bound by the truth, Democrats would be silent. They aren’t about to let the facts stand in the way of a good story now.
So, now that wildly unimpressive and unaccomplished Kamala Harris is their nominee, they are in need of something to distract from the fact that she got her start in politics as the side-piece of a married Democratic Party politician and powerbroker. They need a distraction from the fact that she has no children, only becoming a step-mom to her husband’s children when they were nearly adults and she Attorney General, while their real mother was still around (how much parenting do you think they needed at that age or would get from someone politically ambitious with a real mom in the picture? None?)
Race and gender are all they have.
The official representative of black women, MSNBC’s resident racist Joy Reid, has declared that black women are as excited as possible over the prospect of voting for someone who panders on their race and gender when it suits their political needs. OK, maybe she doesn’t put it that way, but that’s the effect of it.
To Reid and her ilk, race is a weapon and a shield. The shield aspect is more important these days, as the weapon’s edge is about as dull as Joy’s intellect from overuse – the weapon part, not the intellect part, which presumably still has that “new intellect smell” and very, very low miles.
It’s all Joy has, which is probably why she seems so unpleasant. There are still tens and tens of people who value what Joy and MSNBC have to say; black women happy to be have any shortcomings or career stumbles they may have explained away by “societal racism,” even though Joy managed to overcome a complete lack of talent, a privileged upbringing, Ivy League education and a “hacked” blog making her a homophobe, a tough case that even the FBI wasn’t able to crack.
It has not been easy for the official Democratic Party wrangler of black people for the prevention of individual thought and asking questions. Sure, it’s a long title, but it is an important one.
Still, what about white women? The black women vote is important to Democrats, but there are a lot more white women out there; suburbanite empty-nesters devoid of meaning, single or in loveless marriages in desperate need of meaning. There are no answers at the bottom of an empty bottle of chardonnay, but they will keep asking the full ones those question anyway, just in case.
What are they to do?
