Seriously the HRC supporters need to stop over using the word “sexism” and just admit their candidate is flawed. Do people hate Clinton cause she is a woman...yes, but are there a bunch of people that hate her because of her judgement, flip-flops, and being an estblishment polictian...yes! HRC supporters might get…

Out of curiosity, was Hillary asked if she was racist for trying to get in the way of the first Black president? I don’t remember that happening but I could have missed it. Has Hillary been asked if she is being anti-Semitic for standing in the way of the first Jewish president?

Clinton is clearly antisemitic cause she is standing in the way of the first Jewish president.

By that logic, Hillary is anti-semitic because she is standing in the way of the first Jew who could become president.

For real, though, that is an incredibly dumb question.

That seems like...a bit of a reach to say the least.

it’s basically “they were so good we didnt even CARE that they were black!!” its so awful

“Transcended race” and similar phrases sound so much like people avoiding saying “for a black person”, as in “they’re amazing, for a black person”. Like the way putting a woman’s appearance and family life up front, and not a man’s, in public discussion, feels like a sly “for a woman”. It’s a reminder that the person…

you are stuck on this and your attempts to use it as an explanation to what is probably your own racism is transparent af.

I’m thinking that may have a lot to do with how people who were not “his own” treated him.

the amount of people ive seen calling him cassius clay is staggering and so fucked up

Thank you so much Kara!

Thank you for this article every single time a black legend has died this year I hear that transcended race statement and it makes me angry because you didn’t hear anybody say that about Bowie so why is constantly being said about Prince or Ali? Its an insult to a black person to hear that their hero transcended race…

Really great article, Kara. I get what they’re trying to say but to me when someone writes or says “transcended race” it just feels like they’re saying “we really liked them even though they were black” or “good thing they escaped that whole being black thing otherwise we wouldn’t have paid them any attention at all.”

Any sportscaster who thinks people didn’t see color when they saw Ali should find another line of work. There’s a fucking reason why Jerry Quarry was called ‘The Great White Hope’ when he went up against Ali. Because whenever a black man became a boxing champ, white America lost their shit.

“By having people like Brock educating others on college campuses is how society can begin to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.” - holy shit, does he really think the only lesson anyone should take away from this is not to binge drink??? How about DON’T RAPE

Women are disposable to men like Brock and his father. Not once in this ridiculous diatribe did he mention the victim, who will also be changed forever due to his son’s actions. He didn’t drop gum on Singapore’s streets. He violently raped a fellow student. I hope for their sake, I never run into them in Palo Alto.

The woman he raped shouldn’t have had her life torn apart and been left traumatized by a random twenty minutes of her life.
