Somebody had to say it.....cause it is becoming more and more obvious all of the time.

I'm so fucking tired that Pres. Obama with 8 months under his belt is expected to have fixed everything already, and fixed it perfectly....while those who had 8 years basically fucked us so hard till too many have forgotten that most of what we are dealing with now has a lot to do with what they did (both Clinton & Bush)....and yet Bill Clinton's dirty drawers smell like perfume as far as too many go.

Nothing more than America's fucked up double standard, if you were to ask me.

5. "and yet Bill Clinton's dirty drawers smell like perfume as far as too many go."
Girl, don't you know you're not supposed to notice that???! And not just Bill either. The Hillary lovers are even more deranged.

It always kills me that the same folks on this site who cry over and over and over again that they are only "holding Obama's feet to the fire" are mysteriously quiet as mice when the man does something right. But it's probably because in their stupid little heads, he never DOES do anything right.

11. Girl, you know her pantsuits come equipped with Kevlar
And her hairspray is really just aerated Bulletproof Helmet. :rofl:

But you want to know what's really bad about all of this?? I love Hillary! But it's her mindless hate-filled supporters, these so-called DU feminists and others that make me want to just :puke:.

They will shit all over Obama and even over Michelle and can't run to praise Hillary fast enough. When the Republicans were crawling all over Sotomayor's ass, there was not ONE DAMN PEEP from any of these people yet they are the ones screaming the loudest about sexism the second anyone says anything negative about Hillary.

When it was remembered that the Kennedys referred to Obama as picking up the torch where RFK and JFK left off and that several Kennedys (including Ted, Caroline, Ethel and Eunice -- the old school REAL Kennedys) said that Obama was now the torch carrier, these same people SEETHED. They cannot STAND that this man gets the loves and props that he does.

13. The divide between white feminists and women of color (black and hispanic)
is well-known.

"Part of the overwhelming frustration black women felt within
the Women's Movement was at white feminists' unwillingness to admit to
their racism. This unwillingness comes from the sentiment that those
who are oppressed can not oppress others. White women, who were (and
still are) without question sexually oppressed by white men, believed
that because of this oppression they were unable to assume the
dominant role in the perpetuation of white racism; however, they have
absorbed, supported and advocated racist ideology and have acted
individually as racist oppressors. Traditionally, women's sphere of
influence has extended over the home, and it is no coincidence that in
1963, seven times as many women of color (of whom 90 percent were
black) as white women were employed as private household workers. It
has been the tendency of white feminists to see men as the "enemy,"
rather than themselves, as part of the patriarchal, racist, and
classist society in which we all live."


http://www.mit.edu/~thistle/v9/9.01/6blackf.html


They were the ones screaming "it's OUR turn" throughout most of 2008.

And not for lack of trying (see "hard-working, white workers" and the RFK assassination comment for proof). They may be feminists, but they still enjoy White Privilege, and will attempt to pull rank on a fellow "sister" of color in a nanosecond, while denying their racism and acting all offended about being called on their racism.

White women are the greatest beneficiaries of Affirmative Action.

There are STILL more white women in the Senate than there are blacks of either gender.

You would think they would have been the first to jump on the bandwagon of support for Michelle Obama and Sonia Sotomayor.

Nope. Sexism only means something when it's happening to white women. In some cases, they were even uglier than men in their judgments. And we can thank White Privilege for that.

And the fact that I will dare to POINT THIS OUT will earn me an accusation of being a self-hating female. :rofl:

14. Excellent post and information. Most definitely, the "feminists" had
nothing to say about the bashing of Michelle and Sonia. Quite telling.

Number 23 has a good point. I've never been a big fan of Hillary, and I rarely even comment on threads about her. The majority of those that post glowing threads on her, will spit on Michelle in a minute.

:puke:

15. Absolutely fantastic post. Thanks for this, Aspen.
Every single word you typed is spot on. And anyone who thinks otherwise is blind or an idiot.

People seem to think that the issues of white privilege only pertain to heterosexual wealthy white Christian men when nothing could be further from the truth. ALL white people, even the poorest of the poor, benefit in this and other Western countries from white privilege. There is no question that wealthy whites benefit more than others but at the end of the day, whites enjoy privileges and perks that the rest of us could never even imagine, no matter how brilliant and hard working we may be.

And your comment about white women "pulling rank" is just SPOT ON. I have seen it with my own eyes on DU. There are certain white "feminists" here who refuse to let ANY conversation about racism happen without interjecting little anecdotes about sexism. It's as if to say, "hey wait. We've suffered too! And we're WHITE so our suffering really deserves more attention than what them darkies are going through!"

I even had one white "feminist" on DU tell me that white women had it worse than everyone else and that they were the only real victims of discrimination left. After I picked my jaw up off of my computer and called her on her shit, she announced "I'm putting you ignore!" Ah yes, when you can't debate intelligently or answer a question or charge without sounding like a hysterical fool, scream "you're going on ignore!one!" Boy, I sure learned my lesson. :eyes:

6. G'Damn I missed that one
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 09:28 PM by Uzybone
Awesome ....awesome.



ETA

Holy crap: this must have made some heads explode...the truth is sometimes unpleasant to the blind

"Bill Clinton signed many still ticking bombs such as the Telecommunications Act, the Bank Modernization Act, DOMA, DADT, NAFTA, ignored Darfur and quite a few other things, gave us 1994, and then did his blue dress thing and helped in giving us 2000/Bush while Hillary gave us the 1993 Health care debacle and voted for Iraq, somehow both are still clearly widely loved by most Democrats, including you."

9. When Clinton was sent on an errand to escort 2 young women home from NK
after all the hard work was done by this admin (including his wife), Sen Kerry, Gore and Richardson; and he ended up being praised as some sort of superstar it became extra clear to me that the fix was in.

President Obama has done more to restore Americas image in the eyes of the entire world in under 8 months than every president since JFK and yet he is being shit on left and right.
