Racist shit, stupid shit, shitty shit shit.
I see H supporters saying she has the minority votes on her side as a prize. Not as peers. Minorities are still considered "other". It is the subtle racism that has a particular odor that grates. They don't think it is racist, that is even makes it more distasteful.

I think there are very few who know about the letter that think it is nothing. I would never ask you to amend how you feel about any of it.
And yes, it is true that people vote based on how they feel. I will vote on that, but it is the candidates actions that I will base my feeling on.
