Two short observations about Hillary:

[thereismore]

1) She is campaigning for the female vote by saying she is also of a double-X genotype.

2) She is taking the black vote for granted.

Id's say she is presupposing too much.

1. She spends more time with black voters than any other candidate. Period.

So, number 2 is wrong. We can decide if she takes us for granted. Everyone wants to use us.
Number one. So what? Men been running this nation forever. Some ran on not giving any rights to any of us including women. Instead of complaining tgat she is appealing to women, prove he's better.
How many women on his staff?
In high positions?
Congressional staff?
How many minorities?
She is appealing to that! Her staff is diverse and she hire women. Alot of women. Saying you believe in equality is EASY. Making sure to show it in your hiring eecisions takes a focus on diversity on a daily basis. We want to be half of the staff and half of the high positions. Tired of hearing they hired the BEST, and somehow the best is always white men. How do we gain power as a group if we are not hired in positions of authority? How do we gain equal representation if no candidates that look like us are supported and funded? We can't.

2. Here we go again.

You being told that you as a Black woman are being taken for granted. I guess you are just not smart enough to decide on your own about who you want to vote for. By the way girl, are you running a race for the most hearts? Is there a prize?

[bravenak]

4. I do not think this person is being malicious át least.

Yes. I want moar heartz!!!!

Nobody thinks I'm smart enough on DU funny enough. Suprised I can get myself dressed without help and instructions.

5. LMAO!

10. I didn't notice this response at the time. Thanks sister! nt

[thereismore]

3. Running for the female vote is fine. I said she is trying to get it by saying she is also a woman.

And that is not cool.

More power to women, BTW.

[bravenak]

6. Nothing wrong with it! Reverse sexism is not a thing.

With all the actual sexism women deal with this cracks me up!! That WOMAN is saying she's WOMAN!! How dare she oppress that man!! She should ignore it and not be trying to get more votes than him!!
Good grief? Are these the hills to die upon? Female privilege? This is why I am a misandrist.

She does not need to make things EASIER for HIM.

7. mmmm hmmm.

[thereismore]

8. Clever, bravenak! You almost made your case. Aaaaalmost.

But she is obviously a woman. She does not have to say it. But even that would be OK. What she is saying/suggesting however is: vote for me because I am a woman. How would you feel if a man said vote for me because I am a man? That's ridiculous. She wants to run for President, she should give me a better reason to vote for her. I don't care about her particular genetics; I care what's in her head. And another thing: Should a candidate say: vote for me because I'm black? As far as I know, Pres. Obama never said such a thing. He won on his ideas, and on his better judgment of the IWR. In my book, anyway! Clinton? She is still the same candidate I rejected in 2007.

9. Because men have too much power.

Time to cede some back to WOMEN!!!

12. demographically that wont be a choice, I think I'll be able to see that in my life time

[uponit7771]

11. +1, get it girl!!! The attempts at minimizing her long time relationship with PoC is some bullshit
