DNC Chair Candidate: My Job is to ‘Shut Other White People Down’


According to DNC Chair Candidate Sally Boynton Brown, white people don’t get it. White people don’t understand racism, and as a white woman, it’s her job to shut other white people down when they try to participate in the argument. Wait a second, isn’t that how racism festers? She talks about a conversation needing to be had, but isn’t a conversation a two way street? How can white people be a part of it if she won’t let them?

Sally Boynton Brown, Idaho Democratic Party executive director, joined other candidates vying for the coveted job at a George Washington University forum in Washington, D.C., on Monday to make their case. Ms. Brown garnered a round a applause for her racially charged pitch to attendees.

“My job is to listen and be a voice, and my job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt,” Ms. Brown said, Fox News reported Tuesday. “My job is to shut other white people down when they want to say, ‘Oh no I’m not prejudiced, I’m a Democrat, I’m accepting.’ […] My job is to make sure that they get that they have privilege and until we shut our mouths and we listen to those people who don’t and we lift our people up so that we all have equity in this country … we’re not going to break through this.”

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh responded to the presentation by saying that he hopes she wins the role.
