Identity Politics Waits For No Woman

April 21st, 2007 at 7:49 am by Smantix

How noble. The basketball dribbling Rosa Parks(es) of the Rutgers basketball team rose from the back of their racially aggrieved bus and walked off prior to meeting with former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Clinton had been scheduled to meet with Scarlet Knight coach C. Vivian Stringer and an assistant, and possibly some of the players, Monday to talk with them about Don Imus’s “nappy-headed ho” comments.

But that sit-down was postponed due to weather and because the story seemed far less significant after the Virginia Tech killings.

Good thing “Selma” didn’t coincide with a rain event or we’d all still be sitting at segregated lunch counters.

All right you dead kids. Make way for the living. You’ve had your moment in the sun. Now it’s Hillary’s time to shine:

After meeting with Stringer Friday morning, Clinton addressed about 700 students and faculty on campus later in the day, praising the players and naming them one-by-one while criticizing “bigotry” against women. She never named Imus directly and made a point of saying her criticism wasn’t intended to curtail free speech.

She urged the crowd to take a “Rutgers pledge,” to say, “Enough is enough, when women or minorities or the powerless are marginalized or degraded.

Biting social commentary. As usual, Juanita Broderick and a host of other women sexually assaulted by Mrs. Clinton’s husband were not available for comment.

    Clinton meets with Rutgers coach…

    Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton met Friday with Rutgers women?s basketball …

  2. Cranky Says:

    Think of the contrast between coach Stringer and her team. It the clearly demarcation between the grievance mongers and the real people.

    Her team was hurt by Imus, they met with him forgave him and moved on with their lives.

    The coach made Sharpton-esque statements, got a book deal and provided a circus for Hillary to play ringmaster to.

    Pantsuit and the Racist…

    If you had any doubt the Democrats are beholden to the racist Al Sharpton, this should put those doubts to rest. Looks like love to me…

    Thanks for mentioning Juanita Broderick. I never see or hear of the Clintons but what I don’t think of her — and others.
