She was/is so invested in the Clinton candidacy. She reminds me of so many middle aged white women that I know and care about. They have had an emotional attachment to this idea of a woman President, and now that it seems to be slipping away, they still can't seem to be honest with the fact that Hillary Clinton is not the right person to fulfill that dream.

As a Black man in that age group I'm torn about my sympathy and smugness because I haven't forgotten how THEY got the fruits of the affirmative action programs that were meant for Black men. Not to mention the countless numbers of us who met their fate because of some real or imagined affront.

I continue to remind my friends that the Supreme Court is at stake, and hope they'll keep that in mind when they go forward this election season.
