Reply #11: First off, I do read the "anti-Hillary" threads as well [View All]

as many others. In fact, I spend way too much time here when I should pick my ass up out of this chair and do something more positive. But DU has been a guilty pleasure of mine for too long now.

Secondly, I respect your support of Hillary Clinton and I have to say before this primary, I had much respect for her too. I still try to give her the benefit of the doubt when she says things that sting like she did yesterday.

I lived in Arkansas too and Hillary was NOT from Arkansas. She really didn't want to be there, but that's beside the point. People seem to think that since Hillary lived in Arkansas she has the inside track to knowing the "southern pull" but each southern state has his own history and demographics. Another--that's beside the point.

We could hash this subject around all night and still get nowhere. Bottom line, if Hillary knows the south then she would known the issues that reach to the spine of racism and that's usually something along the lines of saying what she did yesterday. Even Charlie Rangal, one of her supporters, who is black, said she knew better than to say such a stupid thing.
