I'm a white woman for Obama. Get over it.

[undeterred]

I'm not sure what you're supposed to get over, but apparently there must be something :shrug:

[fascisthunter]

1. I'm a White Man for Obama. Get Over It.

snicker

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Only sexists who hate white people vote for Obama.

Why do you hate America?

[axordil]

Wait--I'm confused

What if I'm a white person, but I still hate white people, and I'm sexist on Tuesdays? Do I have to vote for Nader? :dilemma:

[undeterred]

13. Your screen name sounds like an anti-anxiety drug.

:hi:

[Mme. Defarge]

24. I need

an anti-anxiety drug, the way things are going.

[DrDan]

26. or white people who hate sex . . .

[marimour]

3. LOL too funny.

[2rth2pwr]

4. How about we get over identity politics?

[roguevalley]

32. you ignore them and do what your conscience dictates. Always do

right. Twain said it was good for you and would surprise everyone else. :)

[NorthernSpy]

36. you mean we should stop asking questions like, "which candidate would you rather have a beer with?"

Because that's a sop to identity politics -- though most people won't recognize it as such.

So is fretting over the preferences of "NASCAR dads", and printing up the obligatory candidate-with-shotgun pix, and all of the many coded or blatant appeals to this or that demographic.


Don't only question other people's identity politics. Don't just point fingers at black identity politics, or women's identity politics, or gay identity politics, etc.


Try questioning your own.

[YOY]

5. Apparenty one is supposed to vote for Obama or Hillary based on Race and Gender

Didn't you get the memo!?!?!?

[undeterred]

7. Yeah, but how come the white males always get a bunch

of choices and the rest of us only get one apiece?

[YOY]

11. Well as a white male I'm just plumb out of answers...

Save the obvious GOBAMA!

[undeterred]

16. We're not electing your kind again for the next 200 years

due to the last few years of screwups.

[YOY]

22. We've had 200 years of Male Italian Catholic Presidents?

Here I though losing the Papal seat was obvious...

[undeterred]

23. And another thing

No more of these old celibate men as popes. Next time lets anoint a hot young lesbian woman as pontiff.

[YOY]

28. Only if Lil John gets to conduct the Papal Choir

I really want to see a crunk mass!

[11 Bravo]

46. You owe me a new monitor!

I just spewed soda all over mine!

[grantcart]

6. Oh my that was a lot easier to get over than I thought GO 'BAMA

[Moochy]

8. Gender Traitor!

Goooobama!

wait or is it Race Traitor? I forget which. :sarcasm:

[Bonobo]

9. Some people are projecting, that's all. No one thinks all blacks should vote for Obama just

like no one thinks all whites should vote for Hillary.

To suggest such is the case is the passive-aggressive kind of political aikido spin that the H camp is going for.

[progdog]

10. So am I !

:dem:

[xultar]

12. Apparently you missed all the posts saying tht Hillary supporters should just go ahead and accept

Obama as the nominee

Oh and the posts saying that Hillary is locking up the racist vote.

[otohara]

14. But Are You A Rich Feminist

because if you were, I'm sure you'd be for Hillary.

From the article you are referring to:

I'm Black and for Hillary.Get Over it.
Type Size

A few days ago, I had the good fortune to sit in Gloria Steinem's living room. The small group included Spelman College VIPs Beverly Guy-Sheftall and Johnnetta Cole, television personality Judge Glenda Hatchett, actress Lisa Gay Hamilton, Feminist Majority Foundation president Eleanor Smeal and CosmoGIRL! Editor-in-Chief Susan Schulz. We had gathered to discuss strategies to raise money for Spelman's Women's Research & Resource Center.

Ironically enough, the center's research focuses on the intersections and tensions between race and gender.

I can't say that everyone there supported Hillary, but I can say there was some much-appreciated space and understanding for those of us who did. Here I was not considered naïve or misinformed, but rather I was acknowledged and applauded for taking into consideration the complex issues of gender that are still getting swept under the rug http://www.theroot.com/id/45321/page/2

18. If I had $2300 to give to a candidate

I'd give it to Russ Feingold's Progressive Patriot's Fund.

[Adelante]

15. Me, too

Let me know when you know what we're supposed to be getting over ourselves. I will do it just to shut everyone else up :)

[Upton]

17. Typical Hillary supporter: you're a sexist and a misogynist

[undeterred]

20. That is very confusing.

[Exilednight]

19. This has always been my question........

What if your a transgender, quadracial, born between the Gen-X and boomer generations; who the hell are you suppose to vote for?

[undeterred]

21. Ross Perot

[Coexist]

25. Suburban white Mom for Obama.

And I believe in him now more than I ever did before.

[undeterred]

30. So do I

This week was a test of character, and my respect for him has grown deeper.

[helderheid]

31. ditto!

[Voice for Peace]

33. Not sure I can get over 'it' if 'it' means Hillary gets the nomination.

[undeterred]

35. Not gonna happen

:hug:

[Voice for Peace]

40. Please tell me that every day till it's over.

[undeterred]

42. I do not think she can overcome the difference

even now, but she has every right to stay in till the other states have voted. By then it will be obvious. And I don't think the superdelegates will thwart the voters or there will be hell to pay.

[Voice for Peace]

48. Phew, thanks.

[NYCGirl]

34. I'm a white woman, over 50 years old, and I'm for Obama. NT

[undeterred]

37. Its a good thing George isn't running because I would vote for him.

That's how shallow I am.

[NYCGirl]

39. Maybe in the future. But he's not only gorgeous, he's pretty brilliant...

and a great Liberal!

[undeterred]

41. the perfect man

but not to be tied down!

[undeterred]

38. Its a good thing George isn't running because I would vote for him.

That's how shallow I am.

[kdpeters]

43. I'm a gay man for Obama. Get over it.

To quote John Lennon, "It's easy if you try."

[npincus]

44. me too- another white woman for Obama. From Hoboken, NJ!

Obaaaama....Obaaaaama.....President Obama!
