Biden stepped in it, ok fine. I’m not telling POC how to feel abt it at all, but seems to me most of the outrage is coming from white people who didn’t like him anyway.
As a ww, I can only speak having experienced misogyny, both direct & indirect.

Preface: In NO WAY am I trying to minimize racism nor say misogyny is as bad/worse experience.
In my experience, there are 2 kinds of misogynists.
Sometimes men who aren’t misogynists say stupid misogynistic things. Then realize they messed up and apologize.

Then there are misogynistic people who dehumanize women. There’s saying tone deaf things, then there’s being misogynist as part of one’s character. There’s being a good person who fucks up but is open to learning, then there’s being an asshole who refuses to admit being wrong.
Donald Trump is certainly the latter. He lacks curiosity, he has no capacity for learning, he isn’t interested it admitting when he’s wrong, he gets defensive and in fact doubles down, he demonstrates a categorically racist misogynistic character.
Joe Biden is an old white man w blind spots. He too can be stubborn when it comes to accountability, to admitting wrongness. He says & does racist & misogynist things &
lacks a modern sense of boundaries. But he demonstrates actual heartfelt shame. He’s genuinely compassionate—

Joe is so far from who I wanted. I remain a firm Kamala Harris supporter. I cried when she dropped out, almost as much as when Hillary lost 2016 
I had high hopes for her but I KNEW she was not gonna gain the ground she needed bc white ppl are annoying.

I stg if one person replies to this thread telling me KamalaForAG that’s a block. Keep that shit to yourself. Anyway. I said bright and early before he entered the race, “Joe is gonna fuck it up. He’s gonna announce, he’s gonna gaffe, it’ll be an endless cycle of defending him.”
Y’all had to know this would happen. He’s a good person. I really do believe that. I was disappointed when Obama chose him bc he has this problematic history. Whatever the reasons are I’m *personally* fine with, but I knew we would be set up like this. 2020 is gonna be miserable.
