42. Your post is a good example of how it is possible for a white person to see racism
and be aware of it and be revulsed by it, even without having experienced it. And Hillary would of course be aware of it and how deadly it could be, even without experiencing it herself.

Unlike you, I don't consider Obama a "whippersnapper" or an "untried young person who lacks maturity and judgment." It's not as if he's 20something. He's 46...my age. He's developed some "wisdom of the years." I disagree that he is "too young" and that Hillary is "my gosh, wonderful and just right," and for that reason I will not "jump on board" with you.

But at the same time, I think it is wrong to say she has no idea whatsoever what it's like to be discriminated against, and that's largely because she's a woman, and ALL women share that.
