In a blissfully ignorant article published late last week in the Huffington Post, Rebecca Traister said that the 2016 race is emblematic of the end of white executive supremacy in the United States.
Traister’s article, titled “The Election And The Death Throes Of White Male Power,” slams Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, lumping them together as backwards politicians who would damage America should they be elected.
To Traister, they also represent “exclusive white male power,” despite the fact that both men are Hispanic. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, would represent a shift in power.
“This moment, this election, these years represent the death throes of exclusive white male power in the United States,” she writes. Angry whites aren’t going quietly into the night, however. Whites are perpetrating “the execution of black men by police” and “snarling fury and violence.”
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, though flawed, are not part of the white, male power structure. “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton mean a lot. They represent an altered power structure and changed calculations about who in this country may lead,” she writes.
But who does represent the white, male power structure? Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump. “Imagine Ted Cruz or Donald Trump or Marco Rubio in office with a Republican Congress and Supreme Court seats to fill,” Traister writes. “Voting: restricted. Immigration: halted. Abortion: banned. Equal pay: unprotected. Same-sex marriage: overturned.”
She continues, however, “Imagine, on the other hand, a Clinton presidency — or even a Sanders one, though even a white male Jewish socialist may invite less ire than a woman. Clinton, like Obama before her, isn’t carrying just her own baggage, but will stand in as the symbolic target for those whose fury at increased female autonomy has been building…
“If she wins, she — and we — will be forced to do battle with this rising, chilling, ever more open threat from those who feel enraged that their country is no longer their own. I fear that there’s a lot more terror ahead of us,” she concludes.
Racist much?
Consider the source… a real piece of investigative reporting. (sarc)
Good gravy! Click down her essays. The least insane one, though it is still in outer space, is called The Muppets should not be having sex.
I can’t wait to see the walk-back when Hillary picks a white Hispanic male VP. Bookmark this idiot.
She obviously misunderstood the episode where Miss Piggy complained about having a frog in her throat…
PS All she writes about is sex.
She’s casting microaggression onto defenseless puppets. What a loon!
“… those who feel enraged that their country is no longer their own.”
She inadvertently wrote a fact …
It is, in fact, OUR country … not the rat-people’s … not the parasites … not the filthy fucking raghead’s …
And I don’t “feel” enraged … I AM fucking enraged!
My guess is that she probably has never had a white guy willing to touch her.
we are in a do-loop of idiocy
Of course I totally foresee Hillary picking an obese, black, transgender running mate for her VP, don’t you?
Either CHEB! or Rubio …
Are terminal ignorance and gross stupidity disabilities under the Obozo admin?
Bless her heart.
Why did I look at the comments? Most seem to be from alleged women who reek of total failure.
Crap, ambiguous. I meant the comments to the POS’s article.
Nope, my money is on Julian Castro.
Smells more like cat piss to me.
The dog has the right idea

Was Traiser’s article in New York Magazine or the Huff Post?
Not that is matters. The Huff Post is good at picking up shit by the clean end.
this is my favorite
“clinton…will stand in as the symbolic target for those whose fury at increased female autonomy has been building…”
wow, lmao, i want to smoke some of that shit
Yeah, we need another monkey in the White House because i’s working so well
Leftist “writers” are some of the most idiotic people on the planet. If not for the leftist propaganda sites giving them jobs, most of them would be mopping floors at fast food restaurants or interstate rest areas.
“it’s”
“…Clinton will stand…” lol
FDR stood more than she can manage. No offense to Scott, but if Hillary wins, we will indeed have a walker presidency.
maybe the part she wrote about female autonomy was meant to read female anatomy
There’s nothing like job experience, right? So what better choice for VP and First Laddie than William Jefferson Clinton? There’s no law to prohibit it, and if (Heaven forbid) anything were to happen to President Hillary while she were in office, well…
😉
What’s green and smells like pork?
Kermit’s finger.
So what she’s saying is, I can’t vote for Ted Cruz or Donald Trump if they are running?
Watch me, bitch.
so are the last 7 years an indicator of what we can expect from all the affirmative action presidents that are going to be elected from now on? you know, since we’re at the end of the white male power era.
Stupid Yenta should just go down on Sandra Fluke and get it over with. What a stupid fugly bitch.
“Stupid Yenta,” yes, and ugly too, probably never been schlonged
Good forbid that we elect a president from the largest racial demographic group in the US by a wide margin, whites.
