#SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen hashtag unleashes bitter intra-feminist racial grievances
Saturday Night Card Game — then they went after #BlackPowerIsForBlackMen and things really got bitter.
Remember when Joan Walsh of non-tokenist Salon.com kicked off an intra-progressive Twitter war after writing:
“I deeply resent people who insist that white progressives who criticize Obama are deluding themselves that they’re his ‘base,’ when his ‘base’ is actually not white progressives, but people of color.”
Sure you do, Dem Base Fractures Into Twitter War And Charges Of Racism Against Professional Left:
@truthrose1 Not saying white progressives are THE base; opposite. But I resent African Americans who say THEY are THE BASE. Wrong.

@AngryBlackLady Can you elect YOUR preferred candidate without white progressives? This is destructive, and I'm done.

@truthrose1 Good night, life is too short for race baiting!

Nothing brings out the popcorn faster at LI than intra-progressive racial grievances.
And this past week possibly was the largest bucket of popcorn ever seen upon the face of the Earth, with the hashtag #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen.
The guy they’re talking about, Hugo Schwyzer, also is known as the Pasadena Porn Professor, who we have covered at College Insurrection, and you can read more about at The Other McCain. (By this point you’re thinking, this is the weirdest Saturday Night Card Game post ever.)
However it started, as convoluted as it was, the result was pure hysteria (via Al Jazeera)(click on the date of each tweet to see responses to it, some of which were more “interesting” than the tweet itself):

#SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen when convos about gender pay gap ignore that white women earn higher wages than black, Latino and Native men.

Here are a couple I pulled in between sips of soda:

There was the inevitable mea white privilege culpas:
White feminists who seek to defend or buffer themselves from #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen are likely the most culpable. STOP. LISTEN. LEARN.

It also brought out some new troll Twitter accounts, I suspect this was one of them:

More at Twitchy, which noted that the hashtag was trending in the U.S.:

Then there was a spin-off hashtag: #blackpowerisforblackmen, which became really bitter, really fast:
#blackpowerisforblackmen when you can call out racism in the feminist movement but gloss over sexism in the black liberation movement.

#blackpowerisforblackmen When racism is such a big issue but you claim dark skinned women aren't attractive?

Watching all this, I felt kinda guilty. Not for privilege, but for others having made the Saturday Night Card Game post basically write itself.
Update: Battleswarm has even more tweets, Shut Up White Women!

While a dysfunctional convergence is a chaotic process, it is also progressive — with positive or negative implications — within a limited frame. Fortunately, we have not yet reached critical mass in this population. You will miss little by taking the night off. Have a nice weekend!
It was not my intention to diminish the significance of this event. It is significant. I was responding to Walsh’s comment remarking that “life is too short”. Hopefully, this will cause them to pause and reevaluate the tactics they have employed while confronting their competing interests. It is clear from Walsh’s comment that she does understand the consequences of incorporating a reactive movement in order to realize a strategic outcome. They should reject tactics which denigrate individual dignity and devalue human life. This should be a reconcilable moment for them.
“The vipers are fanging each other.”
Sing it!
“Feminists killed the parody star …”
Long before robots replace human workers, feminists and other progressives will make satirists obsolete.
It’s already happening.
My God, this pseudo-intelligentsia of self-important, humorless nags is the biggest collection of boring, tedious people I’ve ever seen.
I didn’t even press the melted butter pump half a dozen times before their irritating griping made me lose my appetite. No popcorn for me. Just keep these people away from me. Life is way too short to have to listen to them.
The parasites have killed the host organism and are now feeding off each other. Let them have at it.
Liberalism is adversarial, always. They are typically outsiders looking to change the established norms. But when they become that establishment they turn on each other. They must have opponents, targets, inferiors to instruct or destroy.
It’s awesome, like snakes swallowing their tails.
More! More! This is fun! I have a Kirkland German Lager and a container of Kirkland Unsalted Mixed Nuts and am drinking and munching away busily. Bright eyed and bushy tailed reading grievance tweets. Really good sport. Thanks, Wm.
I think the hashtag hit close to home. Didn’t the feminists of yesteryear want to help black people stop breeding, aka eugenics?
… and they say Republicans are tearing themselves apart.
Progressives are just a tweet away from complete and total destruction.
Such are the problems with loving a man who is a “blank slate”
Tina Turner married a cracker.
Obama didn’t have black friends. His wife is tasked with “taking care of that business.”
Meanwhile, when obama reached the senate, Harry Reid tagged him to be the 2008 nominee. Harry Reid is a very calculating man. (And, according to Mark Leibovich, in THIS TOWN, Reid is so fast … he doesn’t finish phone calls. He just hangs up.) Reid’s fast. And, Reid’s focused.
I would have said Kerry was set to be the next nominee … but then things blew up in Egypt. And, Ms. Lindsey Graham, and McPain McCain are also called out. As to our “no fly on his pajamas” … General El Sisi refused to take his phone call. (Mubarak, when riots broke out on him, made the mistake of taking “no fly on his pajamas” phone call. And, he was told to “get out of town.” Mubarak asked for 4 days. And, was told “no.” And, “now.”
I still don’t think the republicans know how to play this game. And, for evidence, I throw in Ms. Lindsay Graham, and McPain.
Maybe, when 2016 comes around the republicans can go and ask Putin if he has any American relatives that could run?
Silly, frivolous, useless, last year, last generation — ALL of this has-been feminist and black/minority rights crap on all sides. (They are doing “work”? What freaking “work” are they doing.) People need to go do something productive.
One of the internet’s little secrets is that there is nothing funnier than Joan Walsh attempting to be serious.
Seems #Cracker Democrats are being called out.
Would the Zimmerman Trial and lack of promised federal charges against George be the straw?
Would Al Sharpton being called out as the Cracker Democrats’ overseer have added fuel to this?
I suspect there will be a Cracker Democrat attempt to quash this through the usual Cracker Democrat Media by way of their token overseers.
All Political Feminists Activists are Cracker Democrats.
And, these Cracker Democrats are all in for aborting black babies by the millions, because why?
Cracker Democrats destroyed Black women’s civil rights to marriage and a husband like Cracker Democrat women have and instead get a hit-and-run baby daddy.
This is the core of the problem, as Bill O’Reilly has pointed out so clearly and truthfully.
“just see if you can elect your preferred candidate without us.”
yeah, right. as if “us” would ever vote against their bread and butter.
The perfect summary:
Henry Hawkins “Liberalism is adversarial, always. They are typically outsiders looking to change the established norms. But when they become that establishment they turn on each other. They must have opponents, targets, inferiors to instruct or destroy.
It’s awesome, like snakes swallowing their tails.”
The almost perfect advice:
LukeHandCool “Just keep these people away from me. Life is way too short to have to listen to them.
The parasites have killed the host organism and are now feeding off each other. Let them have at it.”
“Almost” perfect because these people have become so dangerous that to ignore them is to risk becoming Egypt, Syria, etc., which brings me to this: Is there really a difference between the views of these “liberal progressives,” black women groups, and a host of other domestic, self-identified, deprived organizations, and the folks who are destroying each other and everything in their path in Egypt, Syria, and most other places in the middle east? I think not.
I try to ignore them, but it’s good we have the Professor and a (too) few other folks and organizations who do it for us. Too bad the news media isn’t among them.

Popcorn? I’ve accelerated past popcorn and now I’m into pork rinds! Another few hours of this and I’ll be 500lbs.
The video above is scary for one reason, “[they] are doing work in the classroom…” Hmm… why do I suspect they aren’t teaching the three R’s?
I really see this as a great big ol’ pissing contest among a bunch of puffed up self-aggrandizing blow hards suffering from narcissistic ego disorder.

Even white feminists have a higher IQ than blacks, Hispanics, etc. I guess white leftists are just finding this out.
