Oh, just shut up already...

Okay, so America is a sexist, racist shithole.

I won't miss reading another treatise by a man or woman, of the left or right, who says that sexism has had not even a teeny-weeny bit of influence on the course of the Democratic campaign. To hint that sexism might possibly have had a minimal role is to play that risible "gender card."


So stop complaining already. You think Hillary had it bad with the "misogyny"? Try fucking racism, for a change.

This isn't in any way my reflection on Hillary or Barack... Nor is it my general attitude towards women. But I found this to be absurd, bitching about misogyny and all that just as voters are reported as saying they would "never vote for a black man." Maybe as a woman of color, I feel the oppression of my skin color more so than I feel that of my sex. And maybe that says something. Or maybe it doesn't.

But either way, shut up, lady.
