What I find interesting is how you read Cocco's article and immediately thought it was racist. It's like you see things through a pair of sunglasses that filter out the real meaning of the article.

The article is about SEXISM. And yes, African American women should be issed off. But not about race. They should be pissed off about what this article is disclosing - the sexist nature of the nomination.

Cocco pointed out race as an aspect of Obama that people identify as different - just as they point out that Clinton is a woman. There is no language here that points to anything but sexism, a problem that we have to SEE in order to realize.

As WOMEN (not just black women)... how can you not be disgustd at the "bros before hos" t-shirts, or the "nutt-cracker dolls?" Don't you see that as a step backward?

Don't you see that, as women, if we are not outraged by these items and those who are buying them and laughing at them, we will not be making any progress?

I'm so sick of the "race card." How about the "gender card"?

It's about TIME someone spoke up about it. And thank God the Washington Post editors have the integrity to publish this article.
