White man calls out anti-Obama white women.

Tim Wise is one of the few "white" writers who comes close to telling the subtle, unspoken, dirty little secrets of what I call "post-racist white supremacy".

I just read a missive he wrote last week right after Hillary Clinton's "white" women posse started howling about their plans to vote for John McCain. Although I think much of their threats were a classic case of sore loser's sour grapes - and that most would eventually come to their senses, Mr. Wise's "Your Whiteness is Showing" is an essay on the seldom confronted broader issue that some might call "Miss Sally" privilege.

BTW: When you click on the link, you'll get Tim's homepage. You have to click on Essays to find "Your Whiteness is Showing".
