The Atlantic Report: Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg's Feud Wasn't as Pointless as It Seemed

God knows why Snoop Dogg decided to spend an evening insulting Iggy Azalea, but chances are he didn't reckon with the Progressive Auxiliary which waits in the wings for the slightest whiff of the "problematic." Noah Berlatsky, who we last saw sympathizing with Skynet's plan to eradicate the human race, is one of the members.

The Snoop/Iggy beef, then, restages a long-standing dynamic in which black men and white women confront each other with accusations of racism and sexism—with black women as the displaced, ignored center of the discussion.

Guess which side Berlatsky's on?

Articles like this show how much feminism has taken over "progress." I've written before how, because of embarrassing failures like the Duke rape scandal and the Jena Six, progressives have squeezed as much juice out of the racism berry as possible.

My thought then was that the gay rights movement had become ascendant, but even then I was confused as to how such a tiny minority could swing such large support. It seems clear now that gays and transgenders are just stalking horses for feminists. They are using that grand feminine technique of misdirection--centrists are so busy proving that they aren't homo- or trans-phobic that they don't see that the agenda-setting power has shifted.

Feminism-dominant progressivism is strangely allergic to forming alliances, which will eventually be its downfall. An SJW trope is to bitterly criticize those who call themselves "allies," mainly for privilege offenses and obliviousness. Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs) are no small party online and I've seen more than a few statements that declare that being a gay man is inherently misogynistic.

But this mainstream animosity towards black men is the most foolhardy. It's been most obvious in the NFL, even if the real reason is to destroy something that white men like and that white women don't understand. It's foolhardy because it's not clear what the endgame is. Do feminists think that the black underclass--which is what they're criticizing--is going to respond to their shaming?

It's almost enough to make one nostalgic for the glory days of race-baiting. That era--the chubby Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson Shakedown days--was at least about money. The new era is about the exultant pride of finding a thought-criminal and denouncing him.

Berlatsky (who, one should point out, is obviously melanin- and vagina-deficient) attempts to square the circle with the trump card reading "What about black women?"

My question:  Is anyone on the left going to get tired of this tedious posturing? Can they not see there is no end to it?

But it's proof that there's still some life in the ol' racial angle. Probably the most heated internal division of feminism is of the #solidarityisforwhitewomen variety. In this, we see that American politics is recursive--every issue can be divided by race.
