Race became an issue early in the process for Pres. Obama. I was shocked to hear some of the comments coming from very high profile white supporters of Hillary, you know the ones I mean. They made race an issue, and they usually did it out of anger, and on Fox News.
There were very nasty comments directed at the president & his minority supporters by folks who "claimed" to be supporters of Hillary. We were called "thugs". In the past couple of days I've just had a reference to "love & hip hop" desparagingly directed at me, because I support the president. Thankfully, many longtime DU'ers were shown the door, after they showed their racist underbelly. Some of us haven't forgotten the tone and tenor of those debates, and if some sensitivity remains, then sobeit.
If you're not a racist, I don't see why being called one would be such a sensitive issue for you. I've been called everything in the book on this board, and I don't feel the need to start a divisive thread over the misapplied labels. Think about that. One might even say we became divided circa 2000, when the more liberal activists among us thought Gore wasn't pure enough, and it's been a fight ever since.
I realize that some of you are here to spread disinformation, disillusion and disaffection for the Democratic Party. I get it. It's your job. Afterall, those midterms aren't gonna depress themselves.
