CNN readers respond angrily to 'race or gender' story

* Story Highlights
* Readers offended by idea that black women must choose between gender or race
* Many readers upset that the story did not delve into issues more
* E-mails flooded CNN.com shortly after the story went on the home page


The story states: "For these women, a unique, and most unexpected dilemma, presents itself: Should they vote their race, or should they vote their gender?" Read the story

An e-mailer named Tiffany responded sarcastically: "Duh, I'm a black woman and here I am at the voting booth. Duh, since I'm illiterate I'll pull down the lever for someone. Hm... Well, he black so I may vote for him... oh wait she a woman I may vote for her... What Ise gon' do? Oh lordy!"

2. Does this not prove that CNN is a pot stirring propaganda network, nothing more.
CNN wants the story to be about...CNN.

And, talk about LAZY...sift through a few emails, cut, paste, it's a "story".

3. Oh, c'mon, CNN is more-proactive than that.
They're all about telling us what we're supposed to believe rather than our own eyes and ears from watching the debate.

6. CNN has completely destroyed its once reliable, credible reputation it built for
almost two decades.
