Fox News and Donald Trump have given blonde hair a new chapter: Now, blonde is the color of the right, for whom whiteness has become a hallmark. Over the past decade or so, as inclusiveness became the hallmark of Obama-era liberals, the left found feminist icons in Rachel Maddow, Samantha Power, and Michelle Obama, who make no apologies for their failure to fit traditional ideals. But #MAGA, Fox News America is a place where all the classic signifiers of privilege and wealth work on overdrive: country-club-issue blue blazers with brass buttons and khaki pants, and above all else, for women, that yellow-blonde, carefully tended hair — a dog whistle of whiteness, an unspoken declaration of values, a wink-wink to the power of racial privilege and to the 1980s vibe that pervades a movement led by a man who still believes in the guilt of the Central Park Five.

It was specifically created to push an agenda.
Just like "hate crime", "microaggression", and "reverse racism". All made up words.
A hit piece on whiteness, blond-ness, FOX News, conservatives, white privilege and everything that is horrible and disgusting about America. Complete with ample photo-shopped pics of Fox News female talking heads. Quite the story.
I was born in Norway to a Norwegian father and English mother. But I'm an American citizen now, conservative white woman, FOX News watcher. Blond. One of those Deplorable hateful "ism" types I suppose. You know - guilty of racism, sexism, Nazism, supremacism, conservatism, elitism.
It all gets tiresome guys. Really. It does. For Gods' sakes get some new material.
Let's see... Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, Barbara Boxer, Gloria Steinem, etc.
Real right-wingers.
Pocahontas isn't white. Remember those high cheek bones?
