In reply to the discussion: Clinton used race as a campaign tactic in 2008 - she's doing worse now [View all]Cha
(297,137 posts)214. Thank you, brave.. they can dwell on 2008.. I was pissed too. But, so much good has happened
since then.. you won't find me stuck in a time warp.
And, as you so eloquently put it.. "but I damn sure ain't jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire."
They conveniently forget the abuse #BlackLivesMatter took from BS supporters and are still taking in some situations.
