The fact that either Hillary Clinton, a white woman, or Barack Obama, a black man will be the Democratic nominee for president is stirring up a national debate about how sexism and racism may profile the campaign.
A tea party with members of Columbus, Ohio’s Junior League a question posed: Is blatant sexism more acceptable than blatant racism?
“Sexism of the nature Hillary Clinton is experiencing has been around as kind of an acceptable joke for years. As far as racism, it’s definitely not politically correct or acceptable,” voter Babette Feibel told us.
Hillary Clinton has had to deal with plenty of sexist remarks. At a rally, people yelled at her and told her to “iron their shirts.” Radio host Rush Limbaugh told listeners, “Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?”
