I’m A Brown Woman Who’s Breaking Up With The Democratic Party
Huffington Post ^ | 12/16/2017 | Saira Rao, Social justice activist and co-founder of In This Together Media

Dear Democratic Party:

You were the love of my life. I fell in love early and hard. I have been the kind of party loyalist ― the kind of sappy, soapbox-y, clichéd devotee ― that makes Fox News moonwalk with glee.

The first vote I ever cast, at 18, was for Bill Clinton. The last vote I cast was for his wife, Hillary. My adoration for Hillary bordered on mania. In college, I named my ficus plant after her. Twenty years later, I canvassed, held fundraisers, dragged my 8-year-old daughter door to door, proudly wore HRC’s face on T-shirts and housed campaign volunteers in my home.

I loved you so much that I cried each time I voted. Thinking about the women who died fighting for my right to vote did it every time. I cried when I voted for Bill. For Barack Obama. I wept when I voted for Hillary. You’ve been that kind of mad love to me.

And now I want to break up.

I realize now that the love has been one-sided, unrequited. You’ve never recognized me, as a brown woman. You’ve taken my love, my money, my tokenism, with nary anything in return. You married the white woman and hooked up with me on the side.

...

I know there are some good ones among you. But for every Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters and Pramila Jayapal sticking their brown and black necks out for me, there are dozens of white female Democrats who want me to shut my trap, and say please and thank you. I should be grateful for scraps while white women enjoy a proper marriage with you.

I'm done with all that.

Much more whining at the link

She made the first step to recognize the plantation. When will she ever realize the window coverings were still that which belongs to the plantation? Never, I would think, because her mindset is still mired in victimhood. She just appears to be looking for a greener plantation.

White men gunning down blacks in their yards?

Guess she’s never looked at the FBI crime stats.

How many women died fighting for the right to vote?

A blacker one, judging by her fawning comments about Maxine Waters and her ilk.

That was my take too. She thinks "reparations" is a swell idea.

What a pathetic excuse for a human. Go find another country to live in. Mine is not for you and your ilk.

Notice how these far left wingers are always known as “social ‘justice’” and “activists”?

Never as the ignorant anarchists/Communists they truly are

She’s really arguing for a shift to a more radical left.

I hope she’s persuasive as that ought to work really well for the demonrats.

They all did. Well, virtually all, given that it was in August 1920.

The Left made some progress for awhile by Balkenizing America. But then they went and Balkenized themselves. The Blacks against the women against the homosexuals against the communists against the Muslims against the Illegal Immigrants.

At this point, if the GOP were interested, it could be a very powerful party that really was getting stuff done. But GOP ain’t got no time for that.

This is a setup, no certain for what reason, but it’s not credible.

If she had been a thinking woman at all, she would have realized from the beginning that, the democrats were who she says they’ve turned into.

And, the HuffPost does not give the woman any more credibility.

Republicans had better know more about the above lady and article, before they spend more time with her sudden change of heart. Not buying it.
