Reply #32: Well, to be honest, I'm afraid to answer with the truth. [View All]

I tried to point out a couple of months ago that we need not count our chickens before they hatch because this country has NOT progressed very much on either the issues of racism OR sexism. And, no, it's not just Hillary supporters in southern states. Sexism and racism are alive and well everywhere. To overestimate Obama's chances of winning, or even Hillary's chances (back when I made the OP), was a foolish thing to do. I was lambasted as a racist for pointing out the facts. Hell, I wasn't supporting the facts as a good thing, but still, I was labeled racist for bringing it up. That was about two months ago, I think. No one was listening. I might as well have been the KKK.

The short answer to your question is yes, but I must admit I am sick and tired of all of that blame being laid on Hillary supporters in the south and midwest. And I'm tired of being called a racist just because of where I live.

That is all I will really add to this thread, because I really hate to stay where I am not welcomed. I really do feel like such a fool for believing for four years on this site that I was welcomed despite where I was born, raised, and now live. Those degrees I have mean nothing. I might as well burn them, because I will always be seen as nothing more than a racist, retarded, Republican by the Democratic Party and by any place in the country where I could actually use those degrees to get a job. I sure can't use them here where our major employer is Wal Mart.

Hey, there is a bright side. I no longer have to brush my teeth (my gag reflex is pretty touchy anyhow).

If I am truly to live up to everyone on DU's expectations, I have far too many teeth as of right now. After all, I only need four teeth. Right?
