97. It's a FACT that he made a COMPARISON that denied women are oppressed as a group, called slurs.
It is a FACT that women do indeed know what it is to be defined by another group (men) as 'non-people'.

It is a FACT that women know the pain and humiliation of being called slurs used to oppress only them, such as the C word, B word, W word.

To deny those easily proven FACTS and that the Rev. was OBVIOUSLY making a comparison in order to claim Hillary Clinton hasn't suffered as a woman the way Barack Obama has suffered as a black person is to PURPOSELY MISS what he was saying.

You didn't debunk anything.

You could not answer these points or facts without denying sexism exists, nor could you make the absurd claim that Rev. Wright wasn't being sexist unless you denied that he was comparing Hillary's experience (being a white woman) to Barack's being a black man, and purporting that she doesn't know what it is to suffer from DISCRIMINATION.

Would you like me to draw it up for you on a Venn diagram?
