Case in point: Saira Rao vs. Nancy Pelosi
Another illustration of some of the points I was making just a moment ago:

That’s your intersectionality, hard at work.
I don’t feel the least bit sorry for Pelosi. But I don’t rejoice either, because this is a very alarming general trend. Please don’t underestimate the repetitive power of these sorts of accusations taking hold as a mainstream tactic against just about anyone. The younger generation has been steeped in this sort of thing, and it won’t necessarily cause any alarm in a lot of people.
And if you’re wondering who Saira Rao is, take a look:
Ahead of what is expected to be a pivotal midterm election, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, the longest-serving and only female member of Colorado’s congressional delegation, is facing a primary challenge by a political newcomer who represents anti-establishment angst within the Democratic Party.
“Blue isn’t working. We’ve got to go true blue,” that challenger, Saira Rao, a 43-year-old Indian-American mother of two, said Monday at a campaign event in Denver.
Rao, who has never held elected office, says the Democratic Party nationwide has failed to represent people of color. Here in Colorado, central to Rao’s campaign is being the state’s first woman of color elected to Congress.
Rao, a former Wall Street lawyer who owns a children’s and young adult’s book packaging company that focuses on diversity, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. But in December 2017, she penned a viral op-ed in which she said she is “breaking up with the party,” by which she says she means the corporate establishment side of the party. Afterward, she said readers told her to run for office. In January, she jumped into the race to unseat DeGette…
…During her fundraiser at the Punch Bowl Social on Broadway in Denver, she described what it’s like to be a woman of color. When she was nine years old, she said she tried to scrub the brown skin off her body with a stone after a boy broke up with her for being “black.” And last year, she said her 7-year-old son, Dar, covered himself in sunscreen and told her that he was finally white.
She says the party is not doing enough to end a “national epidemic” of police brutality against African Americans and disproportionate incarceration rates of people of color. She also wants to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and to defund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
Rao lost. This time.
It should come as no surprise that—like AOC—Saura Rao was backed in the 2018 election by the Justice Democrats. I wrote about the Justice Democrats here. They are not inconsequential; in fact, they appear to be the shapers and in some cases the choosers and groomers of many of these radical candidates. They seem to go for a “type” (at least, that’s true of the people affiliated with them who are in the limelight): young, female, very radical, verbally aggressive, and preferably (although not always) attractive.
The really funny part of this woman’s tweet is that it’s not Nancy Pelosi that David Duke likes — it’s Ilhan Omar.

What is it with the Indians and the Social Justice Democrats?
AOC’s Svengali is another Indian, $1 million richer I might add.
I say let ’em fight.
If the Ds start killing each other that’s a smaller pool for the rest of us to keep an eye on.
I wore a brown shirt once.
Nazis wore brown shirts.
I’m not a Nazi.
There.
There’s always the impressive, indomitable, fearless Nikki Haley, thank the powers that be, to provide balance.
When I read about white racism and the pejorative epithet “white supremacy” thrown about, I immediately think of: The Black Congressional Caucus; The Black Student Union: Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute: Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities; American Islamic Congress; etc. Well, I don’t immediately think of all of them; I googled some of the lesser known ones. There are literally thousands of such devoted to various minority or fringe groups.
Then, I try to recall any organizations that are specifically set aside for white Americans and realize that such an organization would be pilloried in the media, and under constant FBI scrutiny.
Apparently to atone for the alleged sins of our fathers, we allowed divisions to exacerbate, and are now losing a cultural war we don’t even recognize.
“What is it with the Indians and the Social Justice Democrats?” MikeK
Getting more power for the tribe.
Mike K,
I was thinking of Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley and a clear headed guy I used to know, but India is big country. I believe that they inherited Democratic Socialism from the U.K. and took it to even higher levels of logical absurdity and dysfunction before reversing course.
Plus India was a highly classist society long before the Brits showed up.
“White feminists are white supremacists.” QED, ipso facto, just because.
When I hear complaints about “white feminism,” it annoys me because I know it’s just a silencing tactic. The overwhelming majority of feminists in the 21st century are just as concerned with racism as they are with sexism and white feminists tend to be the types of people who are ashamed of being white. You can think that’s amusingly ironic, but it’s upsetting because these radical leftists are attacking people for beliefs they don’t even have and shutting down conversation.
Nothing like David Duke himself showing up and saying that Rao’s POC compatriot, Ilhan Omar, is actually his favorite congressperson.
Her stories about her childhood and her child have about as much credibility as Jussie Smollet’s (sic?). If they aren’t lies they indicate very serious parenting problems, a generational thing, What a loon.
Rao ran against DeGette? I live in CO and never saw her name in the papers. Wonder why?
I am experiencing schadenfreude thinking of Pelosi being called a white supremacist. However, the accusation is insane.
I was thinking of Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley</i
Haley is a Sikh, which Indira Gandhi found out is not quite the same. Jindal is Christian although his parents were Hindu,
No edit again.
It is said it is difficult to herd cats, it is an order of magnitude more diffiicult to herd rabid cats. I have a little bit, but it is tiny, of sympathy for Pelosi.
Title says her name is Sairo; it’s Saira. I dunno if it’s pronounced Sigh-ra or an alternative spelling of Sara(h).
Ripple:
Thanks, fixed.
Ironic that Hitler correctly knew that Indians are white. Darker than teutons but still of the white race.

no it isnt… its applied hegelian dialectics…
women smashed men, now, race will smash women, and then the new synthesis is revealed
you see, without women smashing men, women would have had lots more kids and funded less of others.
the IQ post Flynn has dropped 14 points due to this process that ANY person who has bred animals knows.
Now that there is parity and majority minority willing to vote in past political [authoritarian] systems and send them after those responsible for ruining the world. Its easy, women confessed.. white males ruined the world, and you cant get rid of them without getting rid of the persons that produce them.
its all very logical and pretty easy to lay out…
There is a bon fire pile of reasons to invest in the coming repeat!
Good news from Paul Krugman: My own side’s anti-semitism doesn’t scare me
https://hotair.com/archives/2019/03/07/good-news-paul-krugman-sides-anti-semitism-doesnt-scare/
i wonder if Krugman ever saw these photos?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Soviet-Nazi-officers.jpg
Soviet officer saluting Nazi SS officers while delivering Jewish prisoners to them in 1940
the reason i ask is that i would assume an economist would read the Economist… and so “The Economist review of The Soviet Story praises the film by saying “Soviet Story” is the most powerful antidote yet to the sanitization of the past.” – which has found and showed this stuff as people think, for some odd reason, that herr austrian wacko wasnt a leftist… even less know as no one would ever read what he said and be accused of being a what studying what?
to respond to Kate on March 7, 2019 at 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm:
In mathematics, a set A is a subset of a set B, or equivalently B is a superset of A, if A is “contained” inside B, that is, all elements of A are also elements of B. A and B may coincide. The relationship of one set being a subset of another is called inclusion or sometimes containment. A is a subset of B may also be expressed as B includes A; or A is included in B.
in the “set/population/class” of “white people” includes White heterosexual men… White women are the productive force that makes more of them. What other “set/population/class” is contained that the left still targets?
Hint: Krugman isnt worried…
its unconscionable, and beyond what people would accept as thoughts let alone the audacity of actualization
which is why those willing to actualize this far, are quite unopposed most of the way… no one believes it will go that far..
but the key is to notice whether the train has a brake handle or brakes at all…
if not… then its not going to stop, its going to play through at a high speed…
dont you feel better that Krugman is not worried?

and another source:
The first book was on KGB operations in Europe and the US.
The sequel focuses on KGB penetration in other parts of the world, including India.
The more sensational disclosures include:
Indira Gandhi, codenamed VANO by the KGB,was sent suitcases of money meant for the Congress coffers. On one occasion, a secret gift of Rs 2 million from the Politburo to the Congress(R) was personally delivered by the KGB head in India Leonid Shebarshin. Another million rupees were given on the same occasion to a newspaper supporting Mrs Gandhi.
In 1977, KGB files identified 21 non communist politicians (four union ministers) whose election campaigns were subsidised by the KGB.
In 1959, CPI general-secretary Ajoy Ghosh agreed on a plan to found an import-export business for trade with the Soviet bloc. In little more than a decade its annual profits grew to over Rs 3 million.
During 1975, a total of 10.6 million roubles was spent on active measures in India designed to strengthen the support for Mrs Gandhi and undermine her political opponents.
V. Krishna Menon, as defence minister, was persuaded to buy Soviet MiGs and not British Lightnings. His election campaigns in 1962 and 1967 were funded by the KGB.
By 1973, the KGB had 10 Indian newspapers on its payroll plus a press agency. During 1975 the KGB planted 5,510 articles in Indian newspapers.
[this made it kind of easy to insert the claim that AIDS was made in a US lab!!]
but Mitrokhin and CIA is not the only sources!!!!!!
Q. How credible is the book?
A. The difficulty of forging a truckload of material which must not contradict anything that is in public record, is impossible.
and lots and lots have been confirmed… a lot of it changes history
but only for those who dont live in the past history they dont update..
100 Years of Russian Revolution – IV: Was Indira Gandhi a Soviet Agent?

when I go to Planet Fitness I see the non Fox News shows and I see all the aryan feminazi news readers mixed in with people of color,or I read about Fraulein Brie Larsen, or Pelosi or Hillary talking about women and people of color. It seems that these aryan nazi women think they can be the Moses /I mean Miriam leading the people of color to the Promised Land. I doubt that the people of color see it that way.
It makes me think of a quote from Michal York in Cabaret to Helmut Griem:
“DO YOU STILL THINK YOU CAN CONTROL THEM?”
or to paraphrase the Bard of Hibbing
“OR THE PEOPLE OF COLOR DONT NEED YOU AND MAN THEY EXPECT THE SAME”
Ironic that Hitler correctly knew that Indians are white. Darker than teutons but still of the white race.
The Brahmins certainly are. They are Aryans, or IndoEuropeans in one sense. “Aryan” means the same as “Iran”. The untouchables are not and the farther south in the subcontinent, the less IndoEuropean genes. The invasion from, Iran petered out before reaching the Tamils.
Tamil is a Dravidian language spoken mainly in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore – and of course, among the Tamilian diaspora (probably).
Other Dravidian languages include Malayalam, Kannada, Kodava, Tulu, Telugu and a few others.
Nikki Haley was born to a Sikh family, but she is a Christian (Methodist, I believe).
<i.Nikki Haley was born to a Sikh family, but she is a Christian (Methodist, I believe).
Oh, I know but Sikh are bad ass
Traditional Sikh’s carry that nasty knife don’t they?
artfldgr: Indira G. is rather late in the mess. The Soviet influence then was large. I was thinking much earlier. One could also argue that much of early British socialism came from the Soviets and KGB.
The Paul Krugman quote is extremely chilling and stupid.
Someone should ask her if there are ANY white women she would approve of . Because if she is a lefty, and does not like white feminist, then she sure would not like non feminist whites. I think she is admitting she does not like white people.
If she were white she would be a racist, funny how that works.
How rich; she worked on Wall Street and runs for office in Colorado. Also, against a woman. She had no credibility. This group of ‘Justice’ candidates are mean girl bullies who can whine and scream, but do not know how to do the job of governing that they are hired/elected to do. White skin isn’t their problem. Vanity, attention seeking, and greed are their problem. Also, their is a lot of white blood in her veins to give her such light skin. Own it!
I have a close friend who is Shik and she would find this woman embarrassing. S. Rao is probably a very ungrateful and unhappy person.
People like S. Rao do not help anything or anyone. She is a good example of someone that has a platform that uses it for ill, instead of making the world a better place.
At first I thought this was a joke then I I realized it wasn’t. That’s some syllogism. You become a living parody when you do stuff like this and this, according to her political campaign site: ” Saira and her team have launched a slew of young adult and children’s books that feature black, brown, LGBTQ, and immigrant kids as central characters.” As a brown person whose parents are immigrants, um, thanks?
What seems to me self-evident is inferiority complex of many people from so-called “marginalized groups”: homosexuals and other sexual perverts, people of color, people from shit-hole countries and failed or retarded civilizations. All these grievances about white racism, colonialism, patriarchate oppression, sexism and so on cannot be taken at face value: they are just sore losers whining and rationalizations to shift blame from themselves for their own failure and inadequacy and place it on the winners. This may sound cruel and cynical, but there is no place for equality in real life: there always would be winners and losers, some civilizations, cultures and races are just better equipped by nature for dominance, and the rest should better know their place and adapt to it.
Not justice, social justice. So monotonic.
The democrats drew the pentagram on the floor, lit the black candles and uttered the incantations of summoning…
They thought the could control the demons.
They were wrong.

You might like to read some of Sarah Hoyt’s commentary along those lines – first-generation immigrant (legal by gum, and she lets you know it!), Portuguese, science fiction writer among other genres.
Her blog is kind of rambling & personal, but she also writes political stuff for PJM.

She’s as American as any other American. Her ideas are as American as any other American. She has the right to make America the way she wants it.
Import a new people, get a new polity.
Get used to it.
Essential error Eris, the problem isn’t the people that are imported, it is the political system that some have embraced and wish to impose; socialism or marxism, for example. A third or fourth generation American citizen can be just as politically corrupted as Sairo Rao. Get used to that.
Now comes the report of another hate crime hoax on campus, allegedly perpetrated by a black student, this time at very tony and expensive Goucher college.
See https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/03/yet_another_the_crime_hoax_at_yet_another_expensive_college.html
If such sad and dreary hoaxes weren’t a threat to our country, to our social cohesion–magnifying the division between blacks and whites–they might be somewhat comical, but they aren’t funny.
Highly indoctrinated college students are being told by the MSM and everyone else in their liberal bubble that there is an epidemic of hate crimes against blacks–cops searching for and shooting black people down in the streets, etc.–and they believe it.
But, seeing no actual evidence of such an epidemic of racist hatred, they –I suppose–want to call attention to this fantasmagorical epidemic by faking a hate crime on campus, to show that such hate crimes are real and everywhere.
Then, very predictably, black students and others on campus get together, protest, and issue a whole list of “demands,” that they say will help protect them from such racist hate and violence, and the university administration usually bends to their will.
One can’t help but thinking that campus radicals just salvate at the chance to use such protests and lists of demands (that, if they are skillful, they themselves will get to write) to push the university even further leftward.
Not only do such race hate hoaxes widen the racial divide, but they also make us extremely and increasingly skeptical when an actual hate crime is reported.
this time at very tony and expensive Goucher college.
It may be expensive. It’s not tony. It’s a rank-and-file private college. It was at one time a woman’s college but began admitting men in 1987. College Park, Johns Hopkins, and Annapolis are the schools in Maryland with a certain cachet (for what that’s worth), as have 3 or 4 schools in DC and 2 or 3 in Virginia.
Aesop — Is that Spock Doctor or Mr.?
Julie – Mr. Spock, but Doctor would be funny too.
