Not a word wasted - for me the most powerful part was her contrast between the other side's privileged endless whining and the rest of us for whom when things go wrong for us we arent allowed that luxury, we have to just get to work fixing them. Well she said it lightyears better than that and with such searing detail and conviction. I dont know if she was speaking to/about specifically people of color ( that passage moved a black PBS commentator to tears when they were discussing later) but it certainly was a universal enough truth that spoke to all of us whove been put in a "less than" position and had to struggle to get where we are.
