(11,243 posts)I am so cynical, I don't really believe that it much matters what a politician says, only how well they manipulate behind the scenes. And for that, I think Hillary is better.
But you know what? I respect your opinion. You are firm in your commitment. So am I. May the best candidate win. See you on the same team in the GE
And to me, this forum is a godsend of intelligence and sanity to get AWAY from the partisan nonsense. I firmly believe that black people get to own their blackness. Not up to me, a white woman, to tell anyone how a candidate will best serve them in that area. It is helpful to me to LISTEN to what black posters are saying on the topic because the more I (and other white progressive coalition members) understand, the better we can craft policy and legislation that serves THE ENTIRE coalition. I mean well on racial issues, but I do not LIVE that particular bigotry. Plus, I am deeply interested in black history (although I hate calling it that. OUR history, at least a less distorted and sanitized version), have been since I can remember.
