Hillary Knows Oppression

Just a thought on Hillary's soul-sister, fist of power moment. I'll get to the "plantation" remark momentarily. Before I do though, did anybody notice the inflection she used on "...and you know what I'm talking about?"

At that moment I half expected the camera to drop to knee level so she could lean threateningly into the lens, real close, and say "word." I can't remember an example of such blatant brown-nosing.

As to the "plantation" remark, I just wonder when the black community will finally tire of the left using their struggles for every wish list item that doesn't pass muster. For example, the "struggle" for gay marriage is not on the same level as the civil rights struggle of the middle 20th century. In fact, the two issues don't even belong in the same league much less the same sentence. Yet the two issues are routinely compared.

Comparing the "struggles" of Democrats in the House to those of an enslaved field-hand is like comparing a Mosquito Magnet to the holocaust.

Hillary could have meant only one of two things. That being a Democrat in the House is the same as being a slave. That they are beaten at their masters whim, forced to do menial labor without any compensation, raped, bought, and sold, and forbidden to shed their chains of bondage.

Or, she may have meant that slavery wasn't that bad of a deal after all.

Black voters could conclude that Hillary doesn't think slavery was much worse than being a pampered representative on the public dole. Or, that she has so little regard for the very real struggle of a people in bondage that she can off-handedly compare their plight to being a pampered representative on the public dole.

They could also conclude that the struggle of their people happened so long ago that it has very little meaning and hey, you go right ahead and use generations of our hell to make a lame political point about how "oppressive" it is to be in the minority party.

The one thing I personally could never conclude is that comparing her comrades plight to those forced to work on a plantation is somehow a symbol of solidarity.

Is anybody listening out there? Hillary wants you to know that she knows exactly what it must have been like to exist in a constant state of forced labor. She has friends who exist under those very same conditions in the House of Representatives.
