MSNBC is projecting that Obama is the clear winner in tonight’s Democratic primaries in SC. In analyzing the voting breakdowns, one of the talking heads asks, “It’s clear Obama won the majority of black votes, but what about the white people? And what about the women?”
Women are neither black nor white nor anything else, but something entirely separate. Clearly.
Huh. Guess I’ll strike “white” off my list of social identities. I’m so glad a man finally told me what’s what, I could have been so embarrassed.
Surely he didn’t mean it in that way, though…(?) Whites qua voting block, blacks qua voting bloc, women qua voting bloc. I think a Venn diagram is in order.
I’m a ridiculous political junkie, but after several cycles of steadily worsening coverage, I finally stopped watching cable news pundits entirely. I swear they get dumber and more offensive every year.
