Oh, I'm sorry. I meant people who simply "resent black people racially." Because there are no more racists. We know this because Geraldine "not a racist" Ferraro told us so. McCain hosted a bunch of Hillary supporters, according to Ben Smith, and among them was the most famous "Not A Racist" of our time, sucking up her 15 minutes:
McCain's staff extended the last-minute invitation to Clinton die-hards, including a founder of a group called "Party Unity, My Ass" (PUMA), and substantial numbers came from Washington and New York. They represented passionate campaign volunteers and supporters, but they're essentially a marginal group in Clinton's orbit, including no one with a prominent campaign role, public office or close relationship with the candidate.
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina stayed to mingle with the crowd, whose members also included Clinton backer Harriet Christian, made momentarily famous on YouTube for getting ejected from the Rules & Bylaws press area.
Yeah, that would be the same Harriet Christian who called Barack Obama "an inadequate black male" and then defended it on Fox. The same Harriet Christian who said "99 percent of the blacks don't know what they're doing." But she's not a racist. Because racism is no longer acceptable in America, so it's fine that McCain is courting her. This is when you see that a feminism which has no use for Sojurner Truth, which sees Shirley Chisolhm only as a steroid in the oppression olympics, which has at its core, a disbelief in the very existence of black women is really just White Power in a bad Halloween mask. Stop insulting us and acting like you stand for anything more than right of white women to join in in a collective smack-down of uppity, inadequate nigras. Play your position. That's black people talk for "Less Susan B. Anthony; More hoods and sheets, please."

It's gets harder and harder to be a black feminist everyday.
Stay strong! Don't let white racists fake you out.
Oh jeezus, is this cringe-inducing. I'm a white feminist, and I'm appalled when other (white) women who call themselves feminists behave this way. The antics of Harriet Christian and her ilk are not feminist by any stretch of the imagination. But they sure as hell are racist.
If you believe in women's right to choose (which McCain does not), if you believe in equal pay for women (which McCain does not), if you believe in all the other women's issues out there: child care, paid family leave, health care, Title IX, a higher minimum wage -- *all* of which he opposes -- you couldn't possibly support him. All of those issues are feminist issues, and if you support candidates who oppose them all, you have no right to call yourself a feminist.
One thing I would caution, though -- I think there's a strong possibility that a lot of these racist, self-described feminists, self-described Hillary supporters are G.O.P. operatives seeking to cause chaos and division within the Democratic party.
The Republicans have a long history of this kind of thing -- it's called "ratfucking." If you read Rick Perlstein's book Nixonland, you'll see that the Republicans pulled this stunt quite often during the '68 and '72 presidential campaigns. And given that some of the same dirty tricksters who were around then are around now, and advising McCain -- such as Karl Rove, Roger Stone, and Fred "Jew counter" Malek -- I wouldn't be surprised if this were going on now as well.
Other people agree with me on this -- see this post, for example:

"It's gets harder and harder to be a black feminist everyday."
Why?
Unless you align yourself with white feminists. I do not. I look at black feminism as completely different from any branch of white feminism...completely.
Why do you think Alice Walker coined the word "womanist", it was to get away from this.
We're feminists .... so let's vote for John McCain, the man who called his wife a c**t in public, loves sexist jokes ("How do we beat the b***h"? brought a smile to the great man's face) and has vowed to overturn Roe vs Wade.
There is something seriously irrational going on here.
Ta-Nehisi:
You have addressed McCain's actions sufficiently. What I am interested in exploring is how broad is the problem of racism.
The more I have examined racial tensions, the more I have realized just how very much alike we all are, such as in our capacity for nobility and for atrocity, our capacity to overcome and to be overcome, and our capacity to see the best in ourselves and the worst in ourselves.
Do whites own the concession on racism? Is racism relevant only when we personally are on the receiving end? Does not every race own this problem? Are there any who are free from biases?
