[quote=Anonymous][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]

DP.  There is a long and well-documented history of POC discriminating against people just like them, particularly in the employment context and particulars among Black people.  It happens for a variety of reasons, but one of the most common is a fear on the part of the Black person that if they are perceived by their white superiors as being “too Black,” they will be blocked from further advancement.  They end up going out of their way to not hire, favorably review or promote other Black people to avoid race-based retaliation by those white superiors.  It’s not okay when it happens, but it’s understandable in that context.

I don’t know what goes through Winsome Sears’ head to know why she takes the positions she does.  But she has come up through a party that is very invested in denying the ongoing existence and impact of racism.  As a Black woman, if she bucks that tradition she is toast.  There is no political future for her in her party if she defies the Republican stance on race and racism. [/quote]

So we can't elect minority candidates until you have vetted them for racism? [/quote]
