    ^ ^ How to say you’re racist without actually using the word racist.

      I mean it’s very dangerous and touchy for white people, like myself, to weigh in on topics like these for sure.

      I was just sharing what I’d heard from other BIPOC on what seemed a meaningful point … that, apparently, someone more in tune with slavery descendant culture would have gotten behind a woman of colour in a heart beat.

      FWIW, as a white person, that makes total sense, and I’m not sure to whom it wouldn’t make sense and be the obvious move. And yet Obama seems to have been the one person out of step. Dunno how else to think about it.

      As for racism, as see the point as only highlighting that such a culturally white person was likely always going to be the first black US president.
