The Gloria Steinem "outrage" is quite interesting.
Gloria Steinem, a true pioneer, an icon, a woman who paved the way for so many of today's women, made a stupid off-the-cuff comment and she was rightly criticized for it. She apologized, but many women - who seem to be mostly white Sanders supporters - are having none of it. She is dead to them now and they are piling on and attacking her viciously.
But, as someone has noted, Sanders supporters and some endorsers (such as Dr. West) have made the most obnoxious, insensitive and often racist comments and have yet to apologize. Yet when black folk object, we're told to grow up, be quiet, we're being divisive, why does it always have to be about race, stop playing the race card, etc.
The sense of racial entitlement is glaring among many of these people.
But even worse, the absence of grace and complete lack of gratitude, appreciation and respect for an 81 year-old woman who, before many of their parents were born, was kicking down the doors that these women are strolling through without looking back and without so much as a thank you is absolutely sickening.
