tinybows replied to your photoset “same candidate :///// they were both flawed :///// there just wasn’t...”
the clintons hate poc too and were openly against gay marriage for a very long time but go off i guess
ok i will! since we’re both two white folks discussing the feelings of black people, i’ll refrain from making vague statements about how they should feel about any given public figure and just point to straight facts: poc were hillary clinton’s most reliably loyal voting bloc, not just against trump but also in the democratic primaries. how do you explain that? they don’t know what’s good for them?
now, because you’re probably thinking about the 1994 crime bill when you say things like “the clintons hate poc” (a bill that caused great damage to communities of color), hillary has since apologized for that (even though she was only first lady at the time, and wives are not their husband’s keepers, etc. -- btw, bernie sanders voted for the bill in ‘94). now, in 2016, she actually had a really ambitious, comprehensive plan regarding criminal justice reform, with the goal of ending mass incarceration.
and anyway, hillary clinton spent 2016 calling out white people for their racism, probably to her detriment at the polls, so i don’t even????
“were openly against gay marriage for a very long time” i once said in like 2012 that two boys kissing was kinda weird and now i love to get weird if you get my meaning. people change. we’re both young, i think, so it might be hard sometimes for us to grasp just how much progress has been made in LGBT rights in like the last 20 years. unless they beat anyone up for liking dick, i’m not super concerned that they thought marriage was between man and woman in 2002, if that’s not the case anymore.
and honestly, do i even need to pull up receipts on hillary’s support for the LGBT community? from publically going against her own husband’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy as far back as 1999, to countless recent examples i’m sure your memory has been able to hold if you were paying any attention. i’m tired now
