If the Left and their Democrat comrades wanted to prove to the world that they are just the modern version of the Ku Klux Klan, they could not have done any better than this.

Feminist author Jill Filipovic opined on Monday that race and gender should disqualify people for running for president. Her likely pals in the Klan would have made that statement about disqualifying blacks from doing such. Filipovic just switches races and added gender. But the intention and malevolent ideology is just the same as if she was burning crosses in the name of white supremacy. Filipovic is, as a commentator, completely of that brutal willfully stupid ilk.

“Whatever happens in November, what if all Democrats pledged that no white guys will run for president next cycle?” the racist and sexist writer said on Monday.

“And yeah we all want the best candidates to run, but if that’s your immediate response here, you’re kind of telling on yourself that you don’t think there are plenty of excellent candidates who aren’t white guys,” she said. Thus again, exposing the public to her ugly brand of racism and sexism.

Another ignorant bigot held forth on the same subject.

“It’s a sad state of affairs to have six white candidates on stage, many of whom don’t necessarily speak with black women, who are the powerhouse voters —and we’re at this moment where we went from the most diverse set of candidates in the history — certainly in my lifetime — to an all-white stage,” Aimee Allison told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi.

Just switch that race baiting around a color or two and you hear the vainglorious and hateful voices of the kind of people who bombed churches and lynched innocent men and women.

And these people are not only tolerated, but celebrated by the modern Democratic Party. Biden and Sanders have, in searching for Democrat votes, formed a common bond with these venomous guttersnipes.

In July one of the two candidates will likely sell their political souls to them in Milwaukee. Oh, my mistake. Sanders already has.
