Can we agree on this?

[Alter Ego]

Everyone who is pro-Barack Obama != misogynist
Everyone who is pro-Hillary Clinton != racist

Tell me we can at least agree on these two simple inequalities.

[Guava Jelly]

1. And can we also agree

That people on both sides start shitty threads just to piss off the supporters of the other candidate because that is the only way they will get any responses.
Outrage and absurdity are the only things that truly sell around here.

2. What a pretty Iris. nt

3. agreed. However, I think most of us are referring to how a campaign is being run

I do not think Clinton is racist, nor all those who support her are: but the campaign is intentionally making race an in your face issue.

I also think Clinton is being treated in a sexist tone by the media at times, I agree with that. However, I do not think objecting to how her campaign is supernegative is being sexist.

4. and the worst part is

there are militant nutcases on both sides who absolutely refuse to vote for the other side should their candidate not get the nod. I won't be happy about it and I probably won't do much to promote her candidacy, but if Hillary Clinton somehow gets the Democratic nod I'll vote for her.

5. It goes both ways.....

Crying wolf on racism is in itself racist, same goes for sexism. Claiming that everything is somehow sexist, is in itself sexism.

6. my point is that racebaiting is a STRATEGY for the Clinton campaign

They are intentionally USING it.

I don't think acknowledging that is in itself racist, anymore than identifying sexism makes ones sexist. That's bizarre logic.
