I posted this to the GD ...

and no one seemed to know what I was talking about.

The calls for Clinton "the Explainer in Chief" to explain ObamaCare will be/is understood for what it is by any person of color and/or woman that has ever been in a strategy session in corporate America.

Or, maybe my experience, and that of just about POC, and many women, that I have spoken with, is just different.

2. i think people took it too personally to be about Clinton himself or Obama

when it's about certain people who are more willing to listen or accept something coming from certain types of people but a minority or woman saying the same thing would not have the same result.

3. I didn't see that post in GD

But I think it is an accurate assessment.

There are indeed narrow, backwards people in America who will only listen to certain things when it comes from certain people.

They are the people that think Anne Coulter is just sweet and light and filled with awesome - yet First Lady Obama is is an 'angry black woman'. Now we all know she is not angry - and she isn't even the stereotypical 'strong black woman'. But there is a certain segment of America that if we really want them to go away we just need the First Lady to come out for breathing air.

SOME of these people are so blinded by their prejudice that has been developed in the framework of an America that does have institutional racism and are very unaware of these beliefs that they are a victim of . . . that the ONLY way they can understand something is if it comes from an authoritarian white male.

What thread did you post it to? I'd be interested in reading it in context.
