"If Hillary was a man, she would not be in this position. And if Hillary was a minority (of any color) she would not be in this position. She happens to be very lucky to be who she is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

Fair? Unfair?
True? False?
Discuss.
Compare and contrast to Ferraro's statement: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
