I am a middle aged, educated black woman. According to all the data, I should be with her. Sorry, but no. I’m with Bernie, and will remain with Bernie all the way to the convention.
I can write a long essay about why I am the exception to the rule, I probably would give some insight into Hillary’s weaknesses but, honestly, why bother? Our so called democracy was already teetering on the edge of absurdity as it is. Hillary clinched it, indeed.
The media is even worse, what the AP did, and what Matthews at msnbc was going to do, should be the dominating headlines for weeks. Not the breaking of glass ceilings bit. She may have broken the glass, but she is not historic. She’s an embarrassment.
I want a woman president more than you would think, I am and have been a proud feminist for years, decades even. I want to shout and celebrate with glorious pride for the first woman president like I did for the first black president, but not like this.
Food for thought – just imagine if Cain, or Carson for that matter, was the first black president? Would we be so proud? Nah.
Her gender alone is not enough. Not even close.
Never settle, my dear sisters. Never settle.
