Blue Eyed, where the schoolteacher split the kids with blue or brown eyes and created "racism" in them after only one day? She's devoted her life to stop racism, and now gives workshops around the country for adults. It's very powerful. One thing she says on the video by the same name was about Colin Powell. This was made at the beginning of the Bush Administration. She said, now it is impressive that Colin Powell is where he is today. But they won't let him get too high up. You just watch. He'll make excellent decisions, etc., but they'll never let that stand. They'll give him the sense of impending success, then they'll pull him down, "no you don't, boy," just like they've always done.

None of us believed it at the time. Powell looked like teflon. Of course, now we know, and it happened just the way she said it would.

There are very good reasons to support Clinton. Among them, bills she's sponsored just in the last year:

S. 1240: Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act of 2007
S. 2415: Protection Against Transmission of HIV for Women and Youth Act of 2007
S. 1816: National Women's Rights History Project Act
S. 1800: Compassionate Care for Servicewomen Act
S. 1075: Unintended Pregnancy Reduction Act of 2007
S. 766: Paycheck Fairness Act

Whatever Obama's stated positions (and I know he says he stands behind women), he has sponsored or introduced no bills to support women.
