"Were women lynched? Hosed? their churches bombed?...

[SaveOurDemocracy]

...Arrested daily based on appearance? Terrorized?

I don't mean in the least way to diminish the women's rights movements, but some of these posts recently or today about substituting "women" for "black" and subtle attempts to somehow niggle hypocrisy into Obama's statement, or vice versa, or anything or anyone associated with either side are in my opinion utterly absurd."

2. . . .

more and more, i think the HRC supporters at kos had the right idea, let's just leave and let them have their little orgy of self-congratulation about how wonderful they are to love obama, who has come to save us all from a candidate who could win in november.

It made me sick.

5. I was just about to ask if I should post

a copycat thread to this one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5164968&mesg_id=5164968

I was going to title it "I am a woman and I am frustrated!" and follow with:

It appears to me that America wants to sweep all the injustices this country has done to women under the rug. America wants to forget that men control, demean, degrade, and humiliate women. They treat us like chattel, force us to birth, batter us and even kill us if it's convenient...

Guess that wouldn't go over too well.

Edit to add: I would never post such a thing, but I really am frustrated.

7. I love how they always preface posts like that

With "I don't mean to diminish the suffering of women/LGBT/insert group here".

When in actuality that is exactly the point of the post.

8. Here is my question

Why is it a race thing with ONLY the black community? (Obama's version)

What about all the hate on the undocumented workers (Mexicans, since thats what they are all called)
Its ok for them to suffer prejudice and crime against them because they don't speak english, they are brown not black and they are here illegally. Never mind the fact that they are human.
