Excellent point!
BTTT
She didn’t abort her baby. It sticks in their craw.
Interesting that this revolves solely around race and not personality, policies or politics. “Black” women this and “black” women that.
And they wonder why racism is rampant in America - look at the source.
OMG not another “WHITE PRIVELDGE” CROONER
She offends because she is not black.

Precisely.
And if not black, not a cowardly, self-hating white “progressive” who cowers in supplication before the typical (yes, typical), big-mouthed, in-your-face black “racism” accusation thuggery.
Same reaction as to Clarence Thomas. How dare he be black and conservative?
Ifill and Lehrer. Remind me again who the moderator of the president debate was?
Perhaps the good professor could inform us of how she attained her position... privilege, perhaps?
That's very sad. They aren't offended when they birth children with no known father, or one that won't stay with them, but fault a family girl, because she's white.
What a pathetic race.
To a black feminist professor, the simple fact that she's white makes her "privileged".
Sad they’re guilty of seeing “color” & not CHARACTER.
Shame on them both.
And this type of black woman is offensive to white people, in general.
this is such a one-sided bunch of BS I’m rolling up my pants legs.
Michelle Obama is “self-depreciating?” Somebody needs to review the definition of self-depreciating.
Black women are offended by Sarah Palin why? Maybe cause she IS successful, because she DOES work, because she DOESN’T sell off her morals and ethics, because she DOESN’T give up, because she IS respectful of others, because she HAS a good self-image....all while being the hockey mother that she is.

No loss for feminism
By Sherrilyn A. Ifill
June 8, 2008
In the next few days, the historical narrative about the presidential primary race between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton will become set in stone. The contest between a powerful and talented black man and a powerful and talented white woman has already become, in the minds of many, a story about the continuing power of sexism over racism as a barrier to equality.
But very little about the candidacy of Hillary Clinton reflected feminism.
First of all, to be a modern feminist necessarily means to reject racism. No 21st-century feminist could fail to understand the complicated but very real connection between patriarchy and white supremacy. Thus, it is impossible to run a campaign as a feminist while making racist appeals to white, male voters. But Mrs. Clinton did just this. In advance of the Pennsylvania and Indiana primaries, both explicitly and in not-so-subtle racial terms, she spoke to white, working-class, male voters - purporting to understand them in ways that Mr. Obama could not, and giving permission for these voters to regard race as a legitimate reason to support her. Her unabashed embrace of what she described as the “hard-working, white American” vote was stunning in its insensitivity.
Clinton supporter Geraldine A. Ferraro’s comment that Mr. Obama had achieved his success in the campaign only because he’s black (a comment Ms. Ferraro made about the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s candidacy in the 1980s, and one she has repeated several times since April) was rejected by Mrs. Clinton only tepidly and belatedly.
Moreover, Mr. Obama’s gift of oratory - long the strong suit of black political, social and religious leaders - was dubbed inconsequential by Mrs. Clinton, almost as though being black and charismatic is cheating. Thus, one of the most powerful gifts in any politician’s arsenal, the ability to inspire and uplift through oratory, was deemed by the Clinton campaign as proof that Mr. Obama was unqualified for office. And like an employer testifying in an employment discrimination lawsuit, Mrs. Clinton ignored the rest of Mr. Obama’s résumé as a community organizer and state legislator, and said on morning news programs that his entire career was based “on a speech he made in 2004.”

Both of these black radicals are RACIST!!!!!!!!!
LLS
That's what it boils down to. As far as feminism is concerned, success can only be measured by the number of dead babies.
You ever seen any "cute" democrats?
GO SARAH, GO SARAH, GO SARAH...
We need to start a “ Prayer Room” for Sarah tonight...
Ever notice how they bury the really good stuff at the end of articles? I sure do.
The brilliant baby cousin Ifill.. well looks like her bookstore snubbed Mr. Drudge and didnt let him have a reading. Ouch...its not nice to pi$$ off someone whose website gets over 6 million hits a day. Does anyone else think this would have gotten the ‘legs’ it has today if Matt hadnt put it up as his banner?
Re: “White people, in general, are offensive to this kind of black woman”
Keep talking, Ifill and company -— just reading about her and her lawyer “baby cousin” is disgusting. The cousin’s book is all about race, lynchings and such, and Gwen’s book supposedly touts Obama and his fabulous successes. Uh huh..
My suspicion is that the more the blacks show their racism against whites during the next month, that old Bradley effect will rear its head higher than before and McCain/Palin could emerge surprisingly victorious.
