I'll save you the read if you are short on time... Too many white men are racist, sexist idiots.

1. Here's the nut in the shell...

From the link:

"Here is the most general explanation: The white gaze views the black body, and especially the black female body, with feelings of disgust and contempt, mixed with desire and envy.

Then there is the specific example of Kamala Harris: The idea of a black woman, a Democrat, as the nation's vice president, and potentially as president, triggers a rage response from white racists who long for a return to a mythical past of white male domination over, and exploitation of, Black women and girls."

End snip.

Well folks, that about sums it up.

I suggest everyone read the article. It's rather good and each of us will take something away from reading it.

Post your thoughts.

2. Yeah. No surprise there. All of this is coming from the fact that the beginnings of Civil Rights

for women and people of color has shown mediocre and doltish white men that they are mediocre and doltish. They never had to face that before when they were guaranteed the job and the power over exceptional women and people of color. They could feel superior.

Kamala scares the shit out of them. She could wipe the floor with any of them and they know that. And they hate her for that.

3. I love Kamala

She is an amazing person who will make a wonderful vice president. White men need to get over themselves and let go of privlege and stop using that silly overconfidence when they cannot do a job. White men need to grow up and get honest if we want a better nation.
