Reply #194: Before the primaries were even over some people on

[Balderdash]

this board called me a racist because I wasn't onboard the Obama train. Didn't matter that I said that he was actually my first choice but after listening to all of the candidates I chose Hillary. The term "racist" has been tossed around too freely, that's why it rankles. My 16 year old grandson, that I raised is half black and there is no one on this planet that I love more. Obama isn't going to get elected if we cry racism and it's not the real problem.

And I'm not saying that there isn't racism, of course there is, especially among the Republican women that were going to vote for Hillary. But seeing "white women" in your thread title about racism and it wasn't the first, brings back memories from not that long ago where my own fellow Democrats were throwing that word around to try and shame people into voting their way. Not cool! And kind of belittles real racism.
