Again?
There is yet another article, today in The Washington Post, about how hard it will be for black women to choose between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton because, you know, they have to vote for him because they’re black and for her because they’re women because that’s how democracy should be — monolithic — and everyone in any particular bloc needs to vote for whatever candidate is also from that bloc, and now black women are totally fucked because they can’t monolothically support one and only bloc. Will they kill themselves? Will they vote for Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney because she’s BOTH, and that’s the only answer? Clearly. You heard it here first. Cynthia McKinney in a landslide among black women in Philadelphia.
Or maybe … they will decide who to vote for based on the issues. Or maybe they’ll read up, listen up, study up, and make an informed decision. Nah. It has to be Cynthia.
