(13,950 posts)the original point of my repsonse is that many times, the majority forces upon the minorities the chocie between social justice and economic justice, and then acts like they did us a favor. This goes beyond the civil war the democrats are having between Clinton vs anybody but clinton, but about the fact that BOTh are denied minorities, and the minorties are yelled at as if their crime was not to choose between one or the other quickly enough, as opposed to the fact that the majority had NO intentions to deliver either.
There are plenty of threada about HRC/no HRC, but frankly, I wish 2strongblackman's points were not buried under so much noise and sauce. It only shows that even when we do to try speak out, for ourselves, with something to say, someone will come along and yank the mic out of our hands, and not even bother to care about what we wanted to say. There is a blindness to the fact that, even on DU, there is a hierarchy of voice, from "most listened to" to "shut up and stay out of the grownups way" and then when those of us relegated to the kids table get pissed, we get yelled at again and told "see, isn't this table nice."
