Can we all agree on this? |
|
If Obama loses, at least in part, due to racism -- we all lose.
If Clinton loses, at least in part, due to sexism -- we all lose.
And so -- even for the sake of our own candidate, whoever that may be -- we shouldn't be applauding the tactics of the racists or sexists who would derail either candidacy.

9. Only because it has been made so. |

If the RW thought they would have an easier time beating Barack, Limbaugh would be shilling for him and not Hillary - and we'd be hearing loads of sexist shit coming from the RW media.
The difference is I don't think Barack would be participating in it.

10. That doesn't mean we should be a part of supporting the racism or sexism |
|
with our own words and actions.
We should be leaving that to the Freepers, shouldn't we?

12. No we can't, if Hillary loses it will be because of her republican tactics and |
|
her win at any cost attitude.

17. I said, "at least in part." You're saying that sexism isn't at all a factor |
|
in how she's treated in the media?

And I don't often agree with your posts.
That said - I am sure we strongly disagree on what constitutes "racism" or "sexism". (The world has not gone crazy after all - we still don't agree on much! ;) )
