Molly Priesmeyer in the Minnesoros Monitor today:<\/p>\n

What if Hillary Clinton said, ‘I don’t want your racist votes?’<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0In CNN exit polls conducting last night in Kentucky, about 21 percent of voters said race played a factor in their decision. Nine out of 10 of those voted for Clinton, according to the exit polls….David Gergen discusses the data…and\u00a0 begs an important question: “What if Hillary Clinton were to say, ‘If you want to vote against him because he’s black, I don’t want your vote?'”…now would be a time to address the fact that, if anything, the contentious campaigns have served to make obvious the country’s long-suffering ills caused by racism and sexism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow.\u00a0 Molly Priesmeyer opposes racism…<\/p>\n

…after she wallowed in<\/a> it!\u00a0\u00a0 Ms. Priesmeyer in the City\u00a0Pages, 2005:<\/p>\n

Is it really white in here, or is it just me?…En route to the Power Line\/Center of the American Experiment Dan Rather retirement party, I rode in an elevator filled with white men in suits…These were received with hale-fellow-well-met white-guy laughter that abruptly stopped when the elevator doors opened to reveal a group of young black men in Roc-A-Wear gear who were apparently not attending the same event. Then the elevator doors closed and took the bunch of us back to 1952 for an event that felt like a dinner at a segregated country club in the days when Perry Como ruled the airwaves…That’s not exactly correct: Inside, I spotted a total of three non-caucasians, and one of them was hunched behind a television camera recording the event for history’s sake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow.\u00a0 What if all three<\/em> candidates said “we don’t want your\u00a0racist votes?”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
