    I thought for sure that it would come down to the Republican Party vs. Police. I check the root almost every day but I missed several installments of the series. Was the fix in? Is the deep state conspiring with Michael Harriot to protect the police and the Republican party? No. I’ll move on then.

    At the very least I predicted that Mitch McConnel was dangerously underseeded. That bastard sought to oppose the first black president from the jump and he SUCCEEDED (mostly). He than let a racist, ignorant, traitor run rampant in the White House so he can get all the tax breaks, corrupt judges, and corn-nuts (one word) he could find. The bastard would suck Putin’s dick if he thought it would make it harder for POC to vote.  Fuck him with a wooden rake.  He is the reverse highlander. He is the worst white person of them all.

      Part of me loves it. Part of me hates it. These people should all be under a jail somewhere.

      Not only that - there are too many men of color who claim they hate white women so much that white feminists should really “win” ... and all that tells me is that they appear to have completely forgotten that it’s men like SHannity and Yertle McConnell who’ve empowered women like Amy Siskind to cause so much trouble in the first place, even as those men couldn’t cause as much trouble as they do without white women to empower them.

      But it was SHannity whom Preet Bharara was about to seat in front of a grand jury in SDNY before he was fired by Sessions (because Agent Orange is too much of a coward to have done it), and  Yertle who vowed to make President Obama a one-term POTUS and literally used an AK15 on the Senate Rules to hijack his SCOTUS appointment.

      I’m just saying.

      Who the fuck is Amy Siskind?

      Okay, Google suggests she’s tiresome. I think maybe Kathy Griffin needs to mind her own business though. 🙄

    So what will the final 2 have to compete in? A mayonnaise eating contest? Who can rock the most appropriated gear? Croc running competition? Camp?

      This might be too New York-centric but I propose: There is one seat left on the Hamptons Jitney in the early Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend. Which of the finalists “visiting friends” “out East” will snag it? They will be the true winner.

    And White Feminists for the win! I’m pulling for y’all. Bigly.

      White Feminists are not gonna beat Yertle.   Yertle is the Golden State Warriors of cheating lying racist Republicans (even though WF will be a worthy opponent).

      Yay, another fellow commenter banned from Jezebel. I haven’t read wandered over there in ages. Their thin-skinned writers are something else.

    The Fragile Four. Okay, I can roll with that. Wasn’t one of my choices, butI’ll allow it. I was hoping for feckless four, as I wished for the other day. Santa doesn’t go to the ghetto, so I can’t get everything I guess.

    *Continues to read article*

    “On his journey to the feckless four...”

    Yes!!! Thank you Michael!

      I’ve been hanging back until the Final Four like any good American, and dammit if Kentucky and Duke aren’t in the thing again. McConnell and Hannity? What a bore.

      It’s two sevens, an eight and a thirteen... Duke and Kentucky?! You’re not even making sense and really wanted to force in a lame/uncreative analogy in a weak critique.

    As someone who has been at the mercy of White women tears in the corporate world, and asked to explain to former White women liberal friends about what happened after the election and how they thought racism was over when MLK died, I will say this: Never underestimate the power of White women. BBQ Becky, Permit Patty, etc - all those memes were because of White women.

    I don’t trust them. Even if Hillary Clinton was a White woman who looked like a smiling shark in pantsuits, WHITE WOMEN voted for the sinking Titanic formerly known as a America.

    I hope White women win this one.

      Never underestimate the power of White women.

      Preach. There’s another power that people tend to overlook. Who do they think raised all the White males on this list? Guess where they got their attitudes towards women and POC? Who trained the police-calling women in the art of passive-aggressive privilege? What are these women raising the next generation teaching them to believe and how to treat others? All of the right-wing broadcasters combined don’t have that kind of influence.
