Yes- I pretty much quit coming around her b/c of the unexamined sexism, racism, privilege. It's a sad state of affairs.

I come here now. When I cant stand it I'll reply over there.

I like to think that most of them will be gone when Clinton wins.

Apparently black and female leaders are, ummm, suspect if they say "I" here and there.

Its okay if Bernie does it, though. Bernie can do as he pleases.

What does he have to say "I" about really? Not much.

...and is Bernie's "we" really all that inclusive? "We, the
people who fit Bernie's litmus test. All others are cast
aside." At least, it's pretty obvious the "we" doesn't
include a very large percentage of Democrats, either
voters or the influential Democratic figures which have
already gone under the bus.

It is so deeply embedded in our society and culture, we have no filter and are unaware when we become offensive.

Of course, there are those who mean to be offensive! The coded 'wolf whistle' of anti-feminism.

And those who believe there is nothing too low in attacking Hillary, of course. But "what's good for the goose is good for the gander."

They opened the door!
