Open Left

Brilliantly argued

Thanks for taking the time to put this together because it definitely needs to be out there. I think AZDem's is what one might call a "specious" argument at best.

I don't know AZDem's gender or ethnicity or sexual orientation, but that sort of Zen-like posturing smacks of someone in the majority class who, lacking awareness of the inherent privileges they enjoy, sets themselves up as being "above it all" because they're not experiencing daily the business end of racism, sexism, etc.

In defense of at least some of the folks at DKos who rec'd AZDem's diary, often people will rec diaries not that they necessarily agree with, but that they think is worth having out there for discussion purposes. I know I've done that on occasion, but definitely not on that one. That one just made my head explode.
