The blogger gets it. Please note:

>A black, a Jew, a Latino, an Asian, a woman, and a homosexual can be brought to the table of capitalist power; but if they are all right-wing and neo-conservative, if they are determined to maintain the status quo and erase their unsavory "differences" by outwhiting the white people, outmaling the men, etc., the richness that comes from true diversity, from the exchange of contrasting cultures, religions, genders and sexualities, is compromised. What remain are six variations of a patriarchal and white supremacist ideology—the same person six times. It’s this kind of "diversity" that is celebrated in the photographs of company annual reports and White House press conferences. A black woman at home watching television knows the people being sworn-in don’t represent her or her community, and may actually do her great harm. She certainly doesn’t trust them; they look too hollowed out, benumbed, Stepford niggered.<

Edited to add this additional clip:
>In the end, despite her many achievements, I can’t claim Dr. Rice. If she is the realization of Dr. King’s dream, he should have been more specific.<
