Great post from your (at least I hope so, o...Brava! Great post from your (at least I hope so, or at least <I>one</I> of them) favorite non-Hillary people!<BR/><BR/>As you know I am deeply grateful for your ardent yet civil support of Hillary... grateful because despite your strong feelings, you have not descended into the hateful pool of vitriol.<BR/><BR/>This was 9 minutes of video well spent BAC and I thank you for posting it.<BR/><BR/>Looking at this from a broad lens, I can say that I think we are both racist and sexist as a nation. It is, as the commentators said, to be openly sexist than racist.<BR/><BR/>That however does not mean that because people won't say the same things openly that one is truly worse than the other. I think they are equally bad.<BR/><BR/>Vitriol is not limited to liberal Obama supporting bloggers... I am greatly saddened by the hate I can find without looking too hard from Hillary supporters.<BR/><BR/>All of which will leave McCain laughing his way to 1600, with the likes of Bobby Jindal or Joe Lieberman in tow, God or whomever help us all.<BR/><BR/>I worry and wonder. I think of Nelson Mandela and the truth and reconciliation project. How will we heal as a party and then as a nation?<BR/><BR/>I worry that we are caught up in an endless cycle of who is on top beating down whomever is on bottom and it just keeps turning.<BR/><BR/>I worry that if I say I am not supporting Hillary I am in some way labeled a self-loathing woman. I worry that if someone does not support Obama they are labeled a racist.<BR/><BR/>I find it ironic given my mention of Nelson Mandela, that a nation that was under apartheid could have a black leader and we can't... or that we might not have a woman either.<BR/><BR/>Neither gender nor race matters to me frankly. I want a real leader.<BR/><BR/>Is that too much to ask?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
