foo_bar's Journal"the invisible knapsack"
Speaking of expressions that make white folk cringe. How about The Trapper-Keeper of Shame? I think it's more like a guardian angel who twitches her nose to bewitch police officers and make higher-paying job opportunities appear. I guess the framing problem is that the empowered class in question can't really lose their "privilege" without that 80s Eddie Murphy movie plot, so it isn't perceived as "constructive criticism", and anyway the problem isn't privilege, it's that everyone doesn't have equal access to it. (Or maybe that's what privilege means. I like this one, "White Myopia"
it seems to be the official strategy (or at least a trial balloon) at this point
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026286011OK, I dunno about "official" (or "strategy" , but I predict we'll see out-and-out misogynistic attacks on Warren by Team Clinton soon (something like "We need Warren to stay in the Senate and attend to her little pocketbook issues, because Hillary's the only woman who's fully internalized* the misogyny needed to win campaigns!" , not unlike the "hard-working...white Americans" stuff when that was expedient. My theory is they're still jealous of the Obama campaign (G.Ferraro: Any time you say anything to anybody about the Obama campaign, it immediately becomes a racist attack), and they still think he won on account of "black privilege" ("He happens to be very lucky to be who he is" -GF), not because he did and said the right things or offered a less bleak view of humanity than the Clintonistas.
* They try to escape by identifying with the oppressor, living through him, gaining status and identity from his ego, his power, his accomplishments. And by not identifying with other empty vessels like themselves.

I was the victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.
how did your 2008 prediction pan out?
[div]Obama is not going to be elected President of the United States. The story is irrelvant.

In your defense, you did misspell a word.
