The entire thrust of progressive charges of "White privilege" and "White supremacy," usually lodged against less enlightened and less affluent whites, is that the elite are confident they've created a partnership of solidarity with minority activists.
Remember in 2008, in one of her earlier incarnations, a once national-populist Hillary Clinton was running against Obama by galvanizing the so-called white working classes.
Of course, progressive Obama himself has played the racialist card on occasion.
In his memoir Dreams from My Father, he described Gerald Kellman, the first boss he had as a community organizer: "Still, there was something about him that made me wary. A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white." Obama had once positioned his own grandmother as the moral equivalent of the racist and anti-Semitic Jeremiah Wright, his pastor for two decades.
Could not a few women be sacrificed on the altar of progressivism to allow far more to be helped? An even darker corollary is that the monsters like Weinstein and abusers like Schneiderman may have felt they deserved to be sexually rewarded for their progressive fides by progressive like-spirited women - much as feminist reporter Nina Burleigh, during the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky imbroglio, said she'd have been happy to sexually service Clinton if meant keeping him out of trouble and thus preserving the feminist agenda.
One of the great ironies of the entire 21st-century obsession with race is the fact that supposedly racist lower-middle-class whites are often more likely than gentry whites to live among non-whites.
In contrast, a white truck driver who lives with Mexican Americans, or a Mexican-American carpenter who lives in a working-class neighborhood of whites, realizes there are consequences to racialist slurs.
