Could It Be Time To Deny White Men The Franchise?
The author expands her great ideas to apply to the rest of the world, not just her focus of South Africa. What a problem solver!

Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men. If white men were not allowed to vote, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union, it is unlikely that Donald Trump would now be the President of the United States, and it is unlikely that the Democratic Alliance would now be governing four of South Africa's biggest cities.

If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world.

It's a useless opinion article. Do we really need threads for every single useless opinion article?

I hope she was trying to be ironically racist.

Yep, checks out. I would imagine HuffPo only gives these people columns to generate rage clicks, and, well, mission accomplished I guess. The brand's in the toilet anyway; might as well make a few bucks on the way out.

We build them an advanced western civilization with more freedom and quality of life than any time in history and this is how they repay us?

Oh...'stupid' is not a 'taste' its a lifestyle.
Speaking of which, how about someone make her live a life where she cant have any benefits generated by 'the white man?'
I'm sure she'd love that.

It's HuffPo. Of course she was completely earnest in her suggestions.

I was going to be astounded that you get to write this twaddle on Huffington Post with just a Masters Degree but then I double checked and she doesn't even have a masters, she's still working on it!!

Based on that article I would imagine she's far gone.

There are some people out there and when they start bleating and using the term progressive I just want to rear back and punch them straight up in the face.
That column only goes to prove that some people are a waste of educational dollars.
Or that the system failed them
Or treated them like a precious cupcake for too long.

Without white males to blame for everything, would the citizens of a "progressive" society actually take personal responsibility for their incompetence and failures?
Anyway, let's see how far she gets with her wealth redistribution plans in the Middle East and Asia. I'm sure it's white males holding on to it there...

Speaking of that it appears another of her goals is to "smash the patriarchy" so don't assume that her dislike for males solely centers around the white ones.
