    At least Bette didn't quote Sly & the Family Stone ....



    You know, time was when artists expressed themselves and nobody freaked out. Look at this video. The crowd is into it!!

    We've become *so* poosified.

    There's something that white women liberals need to learn about black women liberals: Black women liberals are black first, women second.

    You may not like her comparison, but she is able to use the word in that context.

    You may not agree with her contention, but her usage was not meant as a slur.

    that is where you are getting stuck. You seem to believe that the mere usage of the word constitutes a racist act. You are mistaken.

    What constitutes the word being racist is context. In which context is the word being used....not in the mere usage of the word.

    And you know why that is...right?

    Because liberal Black women had to deal with their blackness before their politics or thier gender.

    Liberal Black women were Black girls first. That was when they first were introduction into the whole Black-white paradigm.

    White girls are spared that lesson.

    How so? It's a statement of fact. I remember 11 years ago when all the liberal white women were getting ramped up for Hillary in 2008 being all heartbroken when Oprah came out to support and rally for a less-well-known upstart by the name of Barack Obama. They felt betrayed by their female-icon hero. I told several of them the same thing then that I said right now: Oprah is black first, woman second.

    They begrudgingly agreed.

    I am not going to debate why it is, I am just going to state it as a fact that white liberal women need to learn. I love seeing how astonished white women liberals like Midler are when they realize that sisterhood does not supersede sista'hood.

    This wasn't about Google. It was about the MSM not reporting it. Wheres CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, TIME, The New Yorker,ect, ect? I even mentioned Huffpo was there this morning. Me thinks you need some reading comprehension lessons=) I said I Googled it twice this morning and the major players didn't register in Googles search, which means there was nothing for Google to connect to. Those sources weren't covering it yet, which proves obvious MSM bias as usual. You being an ostrich doesn't change the color of the sky. Its still blue dude. And the MSM is biased as %#^@&! =)

    And just like this morning, just now, none of the biggest MSM players are in Google's Top Stories carousel. SHOCKED I tells ya=)

    The problem is ...is that the vast majority of persons who subjugate white women are white men.

    If white women wanted Hillary and Oprah wanted Obama...it would have been even more moronic for them to go for White male McCain. They were far better off under Obama than the GOP.

    The GOP was trying to subjugate both Obama and Hillary female supporters.

    She was derogatory?
    Can you point to how she put anyone down?
    And thread creation says the OP title must be copy/pasted. You made your own up.

    That's got nothing whatsoever to do with the point being made. Try harder next time.

    ABC Regrets Firing Roseanne Over Bad Tweet?

    Mocking people of color is just plain wrong, unless they're named Kanye. Right?
