130. Is that the prevailing gripe?
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 10:03 AM by alcibiades_mystery
I've seen a lot of people stating that the Clintons are race baiting, which, of course, doesn't make them racists, but deeply cynical opportunists.

On the other hand, I've seen numerous comments by supporters that are - in my view - racist. So. No. I don't see anything wrong with pointing out racist commentary when I see it. Of course, many Clinton supporters now think something is only racist if it comes packaged in a Klan mask and burns a cross on your front yard. There is no systematic racism anymore, you'd think, to listen to their complaints about their victimhood.

Of course, I guess the default in this thread is to defer to "your experience," which stands as almighty evidence of any claim whatsoever.
