The day before yesterday.
Sunday.
Saturday.
BTW - I came from an affluent family yet was still picked on in college (during the 1990s) with the assumption that I was there taking money from white people and that I didn't have the grades to get in. In fact - I earned a University President Academic Scholarship and other than that paid full tuition. And I wasn't eligible for student loans until they came out with the unsubsidized stafford.
Have you ever read about how the Republicans came to power in 1994?
It was because they deliberately demonized young black women.
And you people think I'd ever vote Republican or NOT vote for Clinton if she is the nominee?
After they blamed every single ill in America on us?
I was 21 in 1994 and it was fucking hell and no one came to my rescue - except for my father. Who is the only person in America who ever admitted for voting for Nixon.
I didn't owe you that explanation -
But since you insinuated I hadn't seen the 50 or so posts on this (at least if seems that way - maybe they are just 900 response threads like that one calling out Steven Leser) I thought I'd 'school you' on this.
BTW - I STILL refuse to vote in the NJ Primary because I can't vote for O'Malley.
Clinton would be the better steward of the Environment than Sanders.
Sanders would be the better steward of getting Glass Steagall re-implemented.
Still - O'Malley is a great man with excellent executive leadership skills and he cleaned up Baltimore as much as he could before ascending to the role of Governor. Until one of them can show me point for point they did everything O'Malley did (neither can as neither was ever Governor of their state) then I'm not voting in the Primary.
Shocker - nothing is gained or lost by a black woman sitting out of a Primary.
Nothing.
