While it’s easy enough to question the timing of the release of Donna Brazile’s not-a-blockbuster revelation of how the Democratic National Committee, on Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s watch last year, neatly and handily sabotaged the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton’s direct competitor Bernie Sanders, it’s a little too easy for those around her to default to the “she’s a strange / crazy / angry Black woman” when she finally decides she may be able to sell a book based on something most people already know.

I remember when the same thing happened to Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney, and so many Black women before and after her … no matter what truth we get to telling, whether it’s early in the game, on time, or too late, those who are too quick to use someone else as a shield for the bullets they should be taking always have three (or four) words they can use against Black women no matter what: Crazy, Loud, Angry, and/or “strange”. The word “strange” is them tippy-toeing past Crazy, Loud and Angry.

In Brazile’s case, the chosen flash code is “strange.”

Though she can’t be much stranger than Elizabeth Warren, who immediately co-signed Ms Brazile’s book ‘HACKS’ with the paraphrased words “The DNC was fixed to favor Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the last election,” those are not the labels being used for Ms Warren, or for the white female Wasserman-Schultz, on whose watch all of these alleged findings happened.

I have no intention of reading Brazile’s book, it’s too little too late as far as I’m concerned, but when the Troll Trump hit Brazile up on Twitter with some “crooked Hillary” mess like his retarded flame ball fat ass likes to do on a regular, she basically told him to ‘go to hell’ in so many words, and she then stated that she never said Hillary Clinton did any of the hackings or tiltings, but that Wasserman-Schultz- who did do a piss-poor job as Chair that led to her own resignation -let Clinton have her way, no matter what the rules were.

I question Brazile’s timing, I don’t question her sanity.

It’s like using the word “disgruntled.”

Every time someone uses that word, I take a good hard look at THEM and ask the more than obvious question “So what did you do that would cause them to be so disgruntled?”, because just the use of that word tells me that the next thing that is going to fall out of their mouths is a big fat lie of one kind or another.

‘Disgruntled’ people usually have some bitter latent truth to spill that they weren’t at liberty to speak on before, and the only people who use that word are the ones who are covering something up that they did wrong and do not want to be told.

It can only be surmised that maybe Liz Warren saying the same thing doesn’t warrant the use of the word “strange” due to her skin coloring, and anyone who had a problem with this strange version of Brazile in the past … now would be the time for them to speak up and really get their digs in while they still can.

They said she called George HW Bush a “racist, a liar and a philanderer.” Well…the reference article they used said no such thing, but even though she did say it, she wasn’t lying. We don’t do penance for telling the truth Lady. Besides, didn’t HW’s racist lying ass just get through apologizing to quite a few women who came out in public to say he had, indeed, sexually harassed them in the past?

That “crazy or angry Black woman” thing seems to stick in their minds on Instant Replay like flies stick to shit and maggots to garbage. “Okay here’s the game plan when Black women tell the truth about anything whatsoever…use the keywords ‘crazy’, ‘angry’ and ‘strange’ .. they work like a charm, no matter what you’re covering up.”

#Not.

I hate that Donna Brazile waited too late to say anything, however, while they are busy going for the ‘very strange behavior’ piece to cover up their own dirt, and that direct dirt pile belonging to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, now might be the time for Bernie Sanders to do what Michael Moore did for Cynthia McKinney back in the early 2000s when she asked ALL the right questions about 9/11 and DynCorp, and turned out to be exactly right — stick a ‘while male stamp of approval’ on her so that even certain Black people will bow down to it and back the fuck up.

Black feminists should be aware that when it comes to women overall, white women never put their gender above their race.

But let’s move aside the race piece, and there is ALWAYS a race piece, no matter what happens…

Brazile is simply an easy target for their own strange behavior coming into 2018 pre-midterms.

In Brazile’s case, it wasn’t just that her timing was off, it’s also about the time of year when the Dems shake in their boots over party loyalty.

Considering that Schultz’s 2016 political ‘faux pas’ over Clinton gave the nation a worse Republican President than “W”, and considering that the biggest bloc they have in the Democratic Party is their now-ever-plunging decades-long stronghold on the more than 90% core Black Americans who bother to vote at all, is the flame-out use of Brazile’s name -in that “eating mammy’s gumbo on the back porch”- manner just a preliminary signal that the Democratic Party is turning back to its old pre-Kennedy 1800s and early 1900s ways?

I’d hire Brazile for my campaign manager or promoter, and don’t look so shocked. I know she was no fan of Barack Obama’s either.

But I have nothing to hide, and apparently, neither does she.

Stay Tuned.
