Amazing it goes right over your ahead, but then again as I just pointed out, as a minority you are blind to what's going on here.
One of the fastest ways to rise in the ranks of academia and political activism, is to be an outspoken person who has lived a life of oppression.
This is really what has motivated this woman. Before the cat was let out of the bag, Rachel had a position of power, of importance, a position where the entire left, both minorities, and white liberals, looked up to her, sought her advice, listened to her teachings, and could see her as not only a person who was talking the talk, but was walking it personally as well.
BS. With her wealth of knowledge people would have looked up to her regardless. Youre just upset because of the rejection. Its OK but just know I know.
It's right there in front of you.
I agree. Your resentment is obviously right there in front of me. Thats why I told you I know.
Not a resentment at all, in fact it's almost admiration I now have for her.
I'm really seeing it now, at first, I was totally disgusted with her. I saw nothing more than a white Uncle Tom.
Now however, I'm completely enlightened.
She was able to see where she could manipulate a system, that would allow her to be personally empowered.
Being a woman was one thing, but being a woman of color opened doors unatainable before.
She took the initiative, pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, and became a very important person throughout academia and throughout the local government power structure.
Her future would have been filled with power.
