White Men Shouldn't Pick Presidents
    #8310711 -

"Arianna Huffington started The Huffington Post with a read-my-lips-with-an-accent pledge: it would be an oasis of brainy progressivism, not a slash-and-burn hate site. That's a tough promise to live up to when you invite Hollywood mudslingers like Alec Baldwin and Bill Maher to the table. But even the women sling mud. Screenwriter Nora Ephron is starting out the week singling out white men as vile and ignorant boobs who shouldn't be allowed to pick the next president:"





The Huffington Post
Nora Ephron

This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don't mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this? After all this time, after all these stupid articles about how powerless white men are and how they can't even get into college because of overachieving women and affirmative action and mean lady teachers who expected them to sit still in the third grade even though they were all suffering from terminal attention deficit disorder -- after all this, they turn out (surprise!) to have all the power. (As they always did, by the way; I hope you didn't believe any of those articles.)

To put it bluntly, the next president will be elected by them: the outcome of Tuesday's primary will depend on whether they go for Hillary or Obama, and the outcome of the general election will depend on whether enough of them vote for McCain. A lot of them will: white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them. And McCain is a compelling candidate, particularly because of the Torture Thing. As for the Democratic hope that McCain's temper will be a problem, don't bet on it. A lot of white men have terrible tempers, and what's more, they think it's normal.


These last primaries will show which of the two Democratic candidates is better at overcoming the bias of a vast chunk of the population that has never in its history had to vote for anyone but a candidate who could have been their father or their brother or their son, and who has never had to think of the president of the United States as anyone other than someone they might have been had circumstances been just slightly different.


Hillary's case is not an attractive one, because what she'll essentially be saying (and has been saying, although very carefully) is that she can attract more racist white male voters than Obama can. Nonetheless, and as I said, she has a case.


"Nora Ephron ought to avoid taking out her bad marriage to the faithless Carl Bernstein on the whole (white) male gender. Ephron concludes seriously that she thinks Hillary Clinton has a chance at the Democratic nomination, because she knows how to connect to those oodles of patriarchal racist white males (in a Democratic primary, no less):"

What a cupid stunt. No wonder she and Maureen Dowd can't get laid. The stock results for vibrator manufacturers just hit an all time high. Especially the darker ones. Or maybe the tiny ones. Probably not the white ones.

Though I've pretty much stopped watching TV all together, I recall Steven Colbert's segment:

Decision 2008: Don't fuck this up, America!

You completely have. I honestly don't think Americans are so bigoted; I blame the media for perpetuating this racist/feminist division.

You are letting your news media treat you like a bunch of 2 year olds, America. You are smarter than the TV.

Let's restrain our discussion to the post! DON'T YOU DARE THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Why does your focus always have to be so limited?

I didn't say TV had anything to do with this specific article. I was making a point of the continual sensationalizing of the politics news. Emotional items get the most attention.

This article is a bunch of emotional garbage from one whom you so accurately referred to as a 'cunt'.

Racism is a non-issue for the educated, and rational people won't be manipulated by shit like this.

I guarantee you that Obama will win a larger percentage of "WHITE" vote than Clinton will of the Black vote.

this will not be written or talked about...

I wonder why??????

Are you kidding?  What he was saying is that blacks will vote skin color more than whites will and the press will give them a pass.  How is that leftist?  I call it obviousist.

I was referring to the article in the OP. How it is a piece of crap written by a leftist, whereas what is usually posted is a piece of crap written by a rightist.

However, this "obviousist" sentiment... I'm not so sure that it is that accurate. I mean, Hillary just stormed Pennsylvania, a state which is more than 80% white. The only counties she didn't win were the ones around Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other urban areas where there are a lot more minorities. The counties that were all white went to Hillary.

Seems like no mellanin is voting skin color just as much as heavy mellanin.

At least they have a "dark horse" in the running. Until the GOP puts a black man upfront I will assume it is  afraid to do so out of fear of angering its "socially  conservative" base. :shrug:

In the latest edition of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan noted that the next great struggle in gender rights involved redefining the masculine. Many modern feminists are angry or resentful of men. We should be working to include them in gender equality and strip away the old concepts of "masculinity."

This woman is a step backwards for feminism. As a "femi-nazi" i'm completely repulsed.
