For you to zero in on the fact that she's a "Black woman" is totally unfair. Does this mean that she gets a pass on everything she says for the rest of her career or the rest of her life merely because she's a "Black woman"?
I saw the same thing on Twitter in the last week. During the OH-11 primary some who criticized Nina Turner were accused of bashing a "woman of color", totally ignoring that those who were criticizing her were Shontel Brown supporters. Guess what? She's a woman of color!
Please don't introduce extraneous or irrelevant factors into the discussion. People don't want Bush "silenced" (no one said that anyway) because she's a "Black woman", they want her to stop a damaging message despite her race or gender.
