Liberal blog admits to being "racist"

December 21st, 2006 by Double Tap

Via Right Wing News, the DailyKos crowd is actually committing self-flagellation because their internal polling of readers shows that the vast majority are, wait for it…..WHITE. (The horror! The horror!)

“If, out of 3,807 Kossacks surveyed, 82% of ‘us’ self-reported as white, 4.2% as black, 4.5% hispanic, 4% asian, 1.1% native american, and 0.08% were hawaiian/pacific islander - well, my question is: why is the DKos community, at least statiscally, so ‘white’? What are we doing wrong, and what can we do about it?


Read through the self-immolation yourself, but the bottom line is, the liberals are tripping over themselves trying to figure out why so many white people read the Kos, and not nearly as many minorities. Look at this:

I WANT TO SUGGEST THAT WE DEVELOP A COMMITTEE/FORUM TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF RACE/ETHNICITY AND HOW IT IMPACTS THIS SITE. (The emphasis was all his.)

Yeah, a committee. That will fix the “problem”.

…But like colleges and universities, we may want to think up ways to begin to work on the ways structural racism that affects DKos, one of the most powerful sites of progressive activism in the blogosphere today. And I think this effort should foreground the voices of people of color, not the dominant white Kossacks. While I might have ideas on how to address issues of structural racism’s effect on DKos (perhaps having our committee cross-post diaries from more diverse blogs, or track down guest columnists from more diverse blogs?), I think these are the sorts of ideas that should be debated in an open forum.”

“Structural racism”? What the hell is that?

Damn guys, just be happy you attract the crowd you do.
