Comments on: Sexist, Racist Video of the Day http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2008/04/21/sexist-racist-video-of-the-day/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

This did make me want to break out <i>The Black Album</i> though. I gotta say to the people saying they've heard the worst misogynist stuff from the Obama camp...um..really? You mean some jackass dudes on your campus or something where <i>no one</i> will cop to supporting McCain? There's mass misogyny directed at Clinton, but it seems out here post-college to be coming way <i>less</i> from the Obama campaign than one might expect. The Clinton campaign, however, seems to have no scruples about attempting to ride the fear of a Black presidency into the white house while practically kissing McCain's ass. Hey, if he wins she still has a shot in '08, right? How exactly is Morrissey is voting for Obama?

It portrays Obama as the dancing fool, and Hilary as a shrieking wretch. The issues have largely been obscured in this presidential campaign and instead of play second fiddle to racism and sexism. Video like this highlight the fact that though we have evolved, much remains the same. This video is insulting on many levels. It portrays Obama as the dancing fool, and Hilary as a shrieking wretch.
