The "#NeverKamala" faction take it too far...but it's legitimate to ask policy questions.

212. Oh brother! That's almost as good as "some of my best friends..."

... I do not believe that your statement (even if true) gives you the blanket protection that you seek. It's just too much protesting, and that makes me suspicious. Yes, I know it's cynical of me... but that's just the way it is. I've seen it all before and I've been proven correct too many times before. It's unlikely that I'm going to start second-guessing myself now.

Campaigning for or voting for a POC does not make someone "not-a-racist". My own dear father, rest his soul, was (to my great embarrassment) a racist. He'd deny it, but he was. If you'd met him, you'd say he was too. Guess what, he voted for Obama, and had an Obama bumpersticker on his car. But, neither of those facts didn't make him any LESS of a racist.

It's always been my experience that one's unguarded words and attitudes reveal more about the true individual than when they're "on guard" or "being defensive" or when they're trying to portray themselves in the most positive light.

In any case, all I'm trying to say is that you've got your work cut out for you. My advice is to think before you speak (or post) and try to consider everyone's feelings and point of view. That's all. I'm not angry with you. It's nothing personal at all. Just some friendly advice and observations that I hope will make you a better person.
