[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does she carry an assault rifle around?  Why is that appealing to Northern VA voters?[/quote]

She doesn't care about appealing to NOVA voters. That's the entire point. [/quote]

She going for the Virgitucky vote.[/quote]

But I thought all ‘those people’ are too racist to vote for a Black candidate.  Isn’t what the Dems always say?[/quote]

White people will always vote for people holding up the patriarchy. Just because you have a Black friend or voted for a woman does not mean you can't be racist or misogynist. Look at the Black people and women telling you otherwise. People voted for her because she's holding an enormous gun. They prefer that over voting for a man who takes paternity leave. Let's be clear.

So the black lady is racist? [/quote]

I didn't say she was racist, but she's made the ultimate patriarchal bargain as a Black woman. When women hold up the patriarchy they are rewarded by conservative men. Look how far she's gotten by being a Republican - she's breaking barriers. A lot harder to do fighting against the patriarchy. Success to women means many different things. In some cases that success on a personal level will only come by bucking their own best interests. While she can give lip service to promoting a better life for Black women now that she's Lt. Governor, if she really looked at the GOP policies, she would know that generally speaking that is not possible. She can break barriers and be a role model to some on a conservative playing field, but does the end justify the means? I think there's some cognitive dissonance going on. [/quote]
