Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Show Sexism Still Trumps Racism

Women always get told 'BACK TO THE END OF THE BUS, LADIES". Remember and don't conveniently forget that it took women until 1920 - FIFTY YEARS AFTER THE BLACKS GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE - to become eligible to cast their ballots! Yes, black women have it even tougher. But it's the white and black women who have suffered abuse as result of losing their human rights and have been victimized more than men of any color. There are more women dying of domestic abuse ("friendly fire") than soldiers who've died as result of the War. Thousands of women are maimed, crippled, injured gravely, traumatized and ending up in institutions or the graveyard as result of INCEST, DOMESTIC ABUSE and FEMICIDEs--and black men as well as whites are to blame for this carnage we tolerate so well. It's okay for you to bitch about the relative inequality of black men vs white women's perceived "got it better" role, but stop and think that black and white women together are victimized by their men. And black men are as guilty as whites of beating the crap out of thier girlfriends and wives and incesting their kids. Have you seen COLOR PURPLE with Whoopee yet? Get the vid and rent it to see the unbearable inhumanities suffered by BLACK WOMEN. Black women have it doubly bad, as women and as members of minority! But it's only by sticking together with their white sisters they can effectively put a stop to the MISOGYNY that's affecting you and me and all girls and women whose human rights have been robbed from the cradle.

Remember always, instead of putting class and race politics ahead of the political horse, that the driver beind the socio-political power engine is MALE and not female.

When you realize that WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS, then perhaps you'll think differently. To hurt another woman cause she's white and thus "more privileged" is shortsighted and wrong.
