As a black woman I have to get this off my chest. If I see one more black man say this shit was brought up because of Birth of a Nation I am going to scream! I have known about this for at least 3 or 4 years you didn’t want to know don’t start with the conspiracy theories.

I’m not saying Trump isn’t racist! I’m just saying it’s a sad time in history now that racism is generally considered a bad thing.

Obvious comment is obvious.

Hello! To clarify: I was not being snarky—quite the opposite.

I’d suggest you familiarize yourself with Ms. Reich’s body of work. As others have said, she doesn’t often traffic in the kind of dreary hipster cynicism we see over on Gawker.

Exactly. She earned my vote for other reasons, but I am totally, crazy stoked that a woman is the nominee!! This is historic - a huge moment - and nobody is going to make me feel bad about being excited!

Amen and well put. As a woman, I don’t think I fully understood how much I needed to see that until I saw her up there

I cried.

I had a nice glass of wine and cried some happy tears during that speech. It’s a nice night!

I’m waiting for someone else to say Yay, Hillary! so that they can shoulder the brunt of the anger and conspiracy theories.

I enjoyed her speech and thought the delivery was great. I’m beyond fucking excited to see her smash Drumpf into the ground. Boy, bye.

I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…

Yep. She is impressive and inspiring.

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

Considering that he has exactly zero percent odds of winning the nomination, does anyone else feel that Bernie is actively trying to fuck over the Democrats at this point?

The problem is how many people agree with him. If your life isn’t perfect, maybe you deserved your rape. Horrible.

He is pretty much like ‘I couldn’t have raped these women, they are not even really human!’ Yes...THAT IS what a rapist would say.

Keep talking, asshole. Maybe it’ll scare the next rapist enough that he won’t dare to.

Always useful when a predator reveals his criteria for potential victims (women with “lifestyles,” meaning they’re black or poor). He’s too much of an ignorant, spoiled little shit to see how obvious his guilt is to everyone else.

“it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals.”
