A bank teller today illustrated how Bill Clinton may provide a "halo effect" for Hillary

45. You might not have meant to do this but

seriously think about what these words say:

A young man supporting the Democrat is a good thing. The Republicans have an unnatural hold on young men (particularly white young men).

(particularly white young men).

Now, before you start saying "I'm not racist", I am NOT saying you are. But I am pointing out something that hides behind even the nicest thoughts of every American, something that, if light is not shined on it, will infect us like a parasite, the way most Lions die of worms.

What these words say is that we like Clinton because she can get white male voters. What we are saying is not we are so afraid that "unnatural hold" the enemy party has on those voters that we will choose someone because she will appeal to those voters, that admittedly, lean republican. In effect, we are saying that the votes of "young white men" still are more valuable, even though we are the party that claims to give equal time to voters that are not both white and male.

What is syays is that those of us who are neither white nor male do not count. How much of a "white young men" do we count for, 3/5? That sort of math worked in the 18th century, but not now.

And again, before you say "Don called me a racist" I repeat, no, you and I and everyone else is mired in the same cultural pool, and we all have traces of the toxic parts. And certainly, I do welcome voters that would not look like a stereotypical democrat, because it would show that the "obscene" grip the GOP has on the people they exploit is slipping. Let's be frank, the Right Wing has been exploiting "young white men" for years, long before the days where a bunch of rich cotton and sugar planter artistocrats made those white males dress up in gray uniforms and had them fight and die for the right to keep black slaves instead of paying a decent wage to anyone, including "young white men."

All I am saying is, we must not let the fact that we can lure "young white man" be the thing that gives good viobes about the Clintons, it has to be whatever she offers everyone.
