There you go.
That doesn't change my opinion. Why would the color of her skin or her background lend her to reach a better conclusion of judgement on something than a 'white male' who's come from a different background? That's a completely racist statement. She could have easily left out the race and the sex and said that two people from different backgrounds may judge things differently and come to different conclusions because of that background. Regardless of even that, her background should have nothing to do with any rulings that she would make, that's not how it's supposed to work. Nor would her background give her any abilities to make her decisions 'better' than anyone elses. She talks about the subjectiveness of the meaning of the word 'wise', perhaps she should look at her own subjectiveness in what makes her conclusions 'better' than someone else's because of her race or her sex.
She wasn't trying to be PC so you and other scared white Republicans would accept her. So she included the race, which is part of background.
Again, if you don't think peoples backgrounds have anything to do with the rulings they make, you are hopelessly naive.
strawman...
the issue here is NOT that backgrounds have little or nothing to do with how people make rulings, it is her comment that her background should enable her to make better rulings than white men who have not lived her life. you are advocating that white people then make better decisions concerning white issues, since they have lived that life. you're so hypocritical, you can't even see what it is you are actually advocating, all you see is a democrat and therefore you blindly defend no matter what.
