Ain't She a Woman?
In our sojourn for truth this election season, there is no sense tap-dancing around the issue; while there are obviously other factors involved, having the first female president or the first black president (for real) will obviously have a ripple effect beyond any logistical stances, and can't help but play some sort of a role in the selection process for every voter. The only point we'd like to make is that when the media depicts Hillary as representing women, it is white women they are at least subconsciously projecting. Black women, unfortunately, still face a whole other layer of issues, and it is a legitimate question to ask who best represents these.
