    I saw this quote earlier related to this;

    “To not choose her is a slap in the face to Black women,” said Melanie Campbell, chairwoman of the Power of the Ballot Action Fund, an advocacy organization focused on Black voter engagement. “You are saying to Black women that what we represent is not good enough — not only to stay with the man we voted for, but the woman that most of us advocated for, to be the vice president. You take her down, then you lose the Black women’s vote.”

      That’s just idiotic. This has absolutely nothing to do with her being black or a woman. She’s just not well liked and that can happen regardless of her sex or skin color.
