This one TOOO

I'm telling you white folks really do a times exist SOLELY for my amusement.

Thank you both thereisnospoon and Miss Laura for showing the one thing I learned was prevalent among gaseous windbags , at by Ivory Legal ( peep Taylor Mali) university.

There is a large and gapping chasm between proper research and the research done by most educated people.

Also that when in doubt please make sure to throw out the tired stereotypes of poor downtrodden colored folks like good liberals should.

I AM TOOO POOR AND UNEDUCATED TO BLOG

and too poor to go to KOS.

THEY SAID SO . THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO WHITE THAT'S WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except

Dear moronic idiots,

Every single blogger so far who has commented on the lily whiteness of the conference.....

College educated.

In fact Ebogjohnson is/was a PROFESSIONAL WRITER

FOR THE VILLAGE VOICE

Nez I believe is an NYU graduate

KAI DEVELOPS SOFTWARE

And me

Yes we is uneducated dirty colored folks

YESSUM!

In fact one of the things that crosses my mind and comes up in my discussions with BOC ( Bloggers of Color ) is that while we are often monetarily broke

We are some educated folks. Of a random sampling of my blogroll solely using 10 WOMEN of color

I am the only one whose not been academically published.

I am the only one not on her way or in possession of a Masters.

But yessim we all so uneducated

But even if we weren't

SO THE FUCK WHAT?

Is your movement the righteous way the way for all americans so caste ingrained that we have to be to get heard?

And this would make you different from the Repubs HOW?


But inthespoon is right in a way. We are often monetarily strapped. So we do prioritize something he and Miss Laura believe to be out the realm of our poor colored selves.

And no unless you pay for it for us we would not prioritize a conference that blocks pro-palestinians has ONE recorded WOC on a panel ( as I have been told) and pats it self on the back for having Hilary Clinton .

I could go to SisterSong or AMC.

But Miss Laura at dailyKos.

Killed it .

Killed it dead.

Made me laugh so hard I had to call people

killed it dead.

If she hit anymore of the white liberal horsepuck meter on her way down the bullshit tree I think I would have PULLED something from laughing.

I link it again cause you have to read it anc i can't quote it all here cause that would hurt my feelings but

IS SHE SERIOUS?!

Number one I find it interesting that throughout this whole discussion of this debacle cause it is officially a debacle, this blogosphere which hopes to continually assert it's viability as non traditional media,

has only talked to traditional media, to the point that Jane Hamsher in all her glorious toolbagishness has shut down the convo rather than be caught you know actually organizing around progressive media.

Because Kos is Hispanic and that's ENOUGH!

Number two

Every response ha snot been about the power of this medium , or the effects they hav had

BUT

the sheer petulant childishness of being HELD ACCOUNTABLE for being at least remotely resembling the high minded promises they make

But here here

Sweet Lil' BabyJeebus

Goodman closes on a completely nonjudgmental note:

Next year, Yearly Kos will undergo a name change. The assembly of progressive bloggers will call themselves Netroots Nation. But when will the members of these netroots look more like the nation?

I don't know, Ellen. When will we be able to say the same about the editorial board of the Boston Globe? Or, for that matter, when will we be able to say it about any group into which education, leisure time, and disposable income are requirements for entry?

That was literally the political version of

I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I

Here's what they'd say Miss Laura. EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY NOW.

Because that's the thing rather than addressing the problem of bringing in POC and other progressive causes ( if they did this to POC I'm wiling to bet my cute brown ass the did worse to abilism, poverty etc I want to be wrong but good chance I'm not)

You bitch at them for not being more receptive to you.

Your not concentrating on grassrooting , your concentrating on infiltration.

You want to be them

AND THEY CAN SMELL IT

The fact that it took THEIR attention for you to truly mention diversity at ALL, that rather than address the myriad of AWESOME AWESOME critiques FROM YOUR FELLOW bloggers
you snipe at people who won't think of you tomorrow

Maybe they'd believe

But this isn't all white people existing solely for the amusement for the young amazon.

It's about another insidious and devastating strain of thought in this exchange.

Heather Corinna ( whose book you really should be buying in BULK ) covers it beautifully.

There is a belief that if you HAVEN'T found a way to pimp it , flip it or make money off it.

YOU DESERVE TO STRUGGLE.

The fact that our focus isn't maintaining certain power structures, media dominance, or ATTENTION , or money beyond you know basic fucking survival that we aren't being

"smart"

or
"adult"

about it.

We aren't networking properly

so we can't be serious.

We aren't trying hard enough so why pay us attention?

If we were worth it like the big media or smart like those making money and books and films and media that APPEAL rather than educate maybe just maybe they wouldn't spend half of their we are doing better speeches pleasing with big media to please give them attention ?
