Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie supporter, Sarah Silverman, now also picking a fight with a potential VP candidate. [View all]LizBeth
(10,935 posts)25. Harris was tipping toeing like women have learned a lifetime to do with men and blacks
have learned to do with white. Just like everyone has to do with a drunk.
She wanted a conversation about four decades ago and she had to stroke ego, before having that conversation. And even that was not good enough.
She could have just gone into the conversation and you would have heard. Are you calling him a racist. So, she says ahead of time, like we all know to do to put out our voice; no, he is not a racist.
No he is not a woman hater, misogynist, sexist
We are trained.... to do that. Then when Harris does it to make whites feel better you all yell not good enough. Just... Not good enough.
So basically what you are telling all us is to keep our mouth shut. Sit down. Be quiet.
And that is not good enough.
