Rapper TI-Hillary Clinton Women Can't Be President Reaction: Sexist Remarks Draw Rebukes On Twitter

Cristina Silva

Atlanta rapper T.I. said he won't vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman, then quickly backtracked after an onslaught of negative comments. In an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, T.I. said a woman shouldn't run the United States because they are too emotional and rash.

“Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” he said. “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But, the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. […] [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet.

A story about a man shooting someone who was driving too slowly.

A story about a man who beat someone up for taking too long to order food.

A friend's Facebook post about rescuing a woman who was being attacked by a man after she had refused to dance with him.

A story about a man stabbing another man because he mistook him for someone from a different ethnic group.

A story of a man filming himself while screaming hateful things at a teenager who was bleeding to death.

A story of a man being tortured to death by angry male police officers.

At least they weren't "rash" "emotional" decisions with a "permanent, cemented" effect!
