Race politics versus gender politics who won the presidential elections?

Question

It is ironical that gender politics has taken a back seat after 50 years and something else has occupied the political focus.

What do you think??

Answer 1

I think that if a person of extreme intelligence, compassion and ethics, with a proven record of working hard, arrived on the political scene, voters would register in droves and RUSH to the polls to elect that person, irrespective of gender or race.

Our "leader" problem isn't gender over race, or vice versa -- it's finding someone to elect who can be trusted to do the best for our country, and the world.  Someone who could put money, politics, special interests and personal agendas aside.  I'm still hoping!

Answer 2

I think gender politics has been in the backseat since this country began, and showed itself as alive and well in this year's primaries.  

However, it is wonderful that Barack Obama won the nomination. It is a historic moment in American politics.  Of course, Obama is half Black, half White, and I don't know why he is always called a Black man.  Who says that half is the controlling interest?

Anyway, personally, I am thrilled that this has happened and I think Americans deserve a great deal of credit.  Although racism does exist, it was transcended.  And Hillary didn't do badly either.  She has made it easier for the next try.

Answer 3

I think that the Presidential elections haven't happened yet.  They occur in November...Oh, and black men were given the right to vote (15th Amendment) decades before any woman could (19th Amendment).  Same as it always is, Bro's before Ho's

Answer 4

Your question seem to imply that anyone that not voted for Obama is a racist and anyone that did not vote for Hillary is a sexist.

Does that means that the only ones that are not sexist or racist are the ones that stayed home? Or does that mean that those that stayed home where racist and sexist?

Your logic makes no sense.
