Just like we didn’t notice Hillary was a woman… BOTH sexism and racism are largely invisible to the white patriarchy, and Obama supporters are just as blind to the blatant sexism in the media and in coverage as they accuse Clinton supporters of being to racist undertones.
I can say, anecdotally, but based on my involvement with the campaign in Iowa, Michigan, California, and Ohio that the staff and volunteers in Hillary’s campaign is one of the most diverse, intelligent groups I have been fortunate enough to be involved with.
