(3,284 posts)7. That was so frustrating to watch.
Both sides got their opinion out, both sides agreed at the end that they understood each other better, but it all felt like BS.
So it's okay for the white woman to tell minorities to "toughen up" and not be "sissified" (ugh). It's ok to say we're too "politically correct." BUT the second someone implies she's racist for supporting Trump, she breaks into tears and whines that they shouldn't make HER feel like the bad person. Do these people hear themselves?!
