Makes you wonder how Obama ever got elected by a landslide, with such pervasive racism. Or how Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 with all that misogyny running rampant.
Yeah, so wild. Almost as though racism were
a factor, but not the
only factor, and a factor that actually presents in a somewhat more complicated fashion than Black vs White.

Do you think it a coincidence that the only Black president in American history was a man who was half-White (from a good New England family), and was extraordinarily cautious about his dialect, code-switching into AAVE only when in the exclusive presence of other African-Americans? This isn't a secret, Obama himself wrote many excellent autobiographies, most of which include extended reflections on what it's like to be Black in a society soaked in White supremacist ideology, and the sacrifices he had to make in order to meet his ambitions. I personally admire Barrack Obama quite a lot despite our political differences, and if you're suggesting that he did not have to struggle with systemic racism (or that Clinton's campaigns were unmarred by blatant, ugly misogyny) I think you're heading to the pitch without a bat.
