Making logical leaps about Clinton’s impact
To the Daily:
I was slightly disgusted by the Arikia Millikan’s column Tuesday about how Hillary Clinton is challenging traditional gender roles (Give this bitch a chance, 03/04/2008). She stated if Clinton does not win the Ohio and Texas primaries then she will “take it as evidence that this country isn’t evolved to accept woman outside the place society has crafted for them.”
Following this logic, I can conclude that if Obama doesn’t win the nomination, then America hasn’t evolved enough to accept black men in positions of power. Further, women have reached position of power in America, U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to name a few.
