2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Obama: CPT stands for "jokes that white people should not make" [View all]northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)45. You are in the massive minority.
I posted several posts saying while she may not have been racist, it was the use of the joke in a position of power that indicated a disconnect with people that are minorities. It was the fact she uses these things like tricks or tools to her advantage I found distasteful. I don't think she "went along with it" though. I think she was just as game. She did the hot sauce joke the very next day which was far more racist to me because she thought, what is the one thing in my bap people listening to this show would want to hear about...oh hot-sauce, because that fucking matters for a president of the US to use hot sauce. One of the guys talked a little smack back to her about maybe she should cut back because she was coughing a bit too much.

I really don't understand why folks try to point to Oklahoma as a win for diversity on the part...

Well being racist never hurt her with her core supporters and the media shields her well.

Um... How dare you question white progressives when they tell you that you should be offended.
