Nora Ephron exposes herself as a racist and a sexist (again) while claiming that everyone else are racist and sexist. Well, at least white men in Pennsylvania are.

It is beyond anything that I can comprehend when I try to figure out how someone like Nora Ephron thinks. Instead of giving myself a headache trying to figure out what kind of though process goes on in someone’s head that thinks they have to focus completely on race and gender in virtually everything they do, I’ll just tell you what she’s written now.

Nora Ephron has indicted virtually everyone in Pennsylvania. Its convenient that she’s done this on the eve of the primary there. That way, regardless of the outcome, she’s already determined that its the people of Pennsylvania who can’t tolerate women and black people. She’s so open minded! Not unlike her candidates.

According to Ephron, white men are a plague on society and there is not a lower creature on the face of the earth than the white male.

…. white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them.

I’m sure Ephron feels perfectly justified in making a sweeping indictment like that. After all, no one gets upset when you slam white men. They aren’t among the many groups of people that are off limits to insult. All I can say is that she obviously hangs with a completely different group of white males than I do. I kind of like white men. My father, my husband, my brothers and my son are all white men and they are all fine men. That doesn’t mean that other men AREN’T fine - and that’s the difference between me and Ms. Ephron. In my mind it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Just because you like one group of people doesn’t mean you have to hate another group of people. I’m sure she doesn’t understand that concept, unfortunately.

She goes on to the irony that it is white men who will decide the fate of Hillary and Obama.

But now there are two and we’re facing Pennsylvania and whom are we kidding? This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women. And when I say people, I don’t mean people, I mean white men. How ironic is this? After all this time, after all these stupid articles about how powerless white men are and how they can’t even get into college because of overachieving women and affirmative action and mean lady teachers who expected them to sit still in the third grade even though they were all suffering from terminal attention deficit disorder — after all this, they turn out (surprise!) to have all the power. (As they always did, by the way; I hope you didn’t believe any of those articles.)

To put it bluntly, the next president will be elected by them: the outcome of Tuesday’s primary will depend on whether they go for Hillary or Obama, and the outcome of the general election will depend on whether enough of them vote for McCain. A lot of them will: white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them. And McCain is a compelling candidate, particularly because of the Torture Thing. As for the Democratic hope that McCain’s temper will be a problem, don’t bet on it. A lot of white men have terrible tempers, and what’s more, they think it’s normal.

So any complaints white men might have are ’stupid’ (as she puts it) and if Obama or Hillary don’t get elected President it will be because these ’stupid’ white men who have never been out of the holler and seen nobody no diff’rent then they r are just too bigoted to vote for a woman or a black.

It seems that in Ms. Ephron’s mind that Obama is exactly the same as all black men and Hillary is the same as all white women. If you don’t like Obama, then you don’t like black men. If you don’t like Hillary then you don’t like white women. I don’t like Hillary OR Obama. I guess that means I can’t like any black people or white women.

What a pathetic view of the world this woman has. She really needs to get out and meet some people who don’t live in New York or San Francisco. She might even find a decent white guy out in Middle America somewhere who doesn’t beat on his women!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go back to clinging to my guns and Bible since I’m just an ig’rant Middle American who isn’t enlightened enough to know I don’t need guns and religion.
