Cool Racism is different than cultural preference

Anyways,

Calling Hillary a racist is absurd and libelous. Its the same as accusing Obama and his supporters of misogyny--both are stupid and detract from intelligent debate.

It is obvious that your emotions are driving you to attack someone just because you cannot find an intellectual way to respond to their observations and questions. In that way you do resemble the candidate that you support (Clinton). I am not a racist simply because, like Obama, my family is richly mixed with Germans, French, Native Americans, and Africans. We come in all shades and sizes. We have the bluest eyes with the most beautiful blond hair, and we also have the thickest curls and warmest brown eyes. Do I have cultural preferences? Sure! As do most people. I like the French culture a tad more than I like the English culture. I like Thia food more than I like Chinese food. I like Nike better than Pumas. As for African-Americans and European-Americans, I think their cultural beliefs are the same. There is much more difference between their skin color than between their values and norms. Do I prefer one to the other? Not particularly. Can I make the difference between those who do have better moral values than others and do I tend to prefer with morality and ethics? You Bet! Unlike you, who reacted and attacked with fanatic vigor, my observations were not an attempt to support any political candidate. I am not now nor have i ever been an Obama supporter. I was originally a Clinton supporter; it is her recent behavior that has made me question her ethics and moral capacity to take this country in the right direction.
