Were you called a racist when you expressed your opposition to his socialist policies? I was. Many times. I guess I still have some naivete. I was shocked. It was the first time in my life anyone ever said that to my face and it was totally unwarranted. It was their attempt to shut us up. It didn’t work for me, but I’m convinced it worked on others.
I really do not listen to such crap. I work in a male dominated industry, so...I have learned the hits and slights do not really mean anything. You have the center and the right to rail against anyone calling you a racist or sexist...etc.
Please, for all Jen's do not let anyone else define you!
