I can't count how many people were interviewed who were voting for him, simply because he was black. I think Samuel L Jackson was one. Can you imagine the apoplectic outrage at anyone that voted for Bush, or McCain, or Romney, or Trump because "he was white"?
I think the left frequently makes the effort to ignore what the definition of racism is, and actual acts, and instead lives in the world of innuendo and "code words" (funny how they're the only ones with the apparent dictionary of those code words)
Did anyone catch the other day, Ashley Judd, sulking in her banner of "white privilege", on FB & Twitter, lamenting at how most emojis are yellow, which is apparently code for white? And how sad and racist it must be for someone that there are no black emojis at the top of the emoji options?
