17. She's willing to have race be used as an issue, if it gets her ahead....
so she's not a racist, she just not doing what she can to keep race from being an issue. Makes her an enabler to the problem...since she's not a solution to it.

Kinda like her bringing up LBJ a right prior to MLK's birthday. Why did she feel compeled to mention LBJ as part of the conversation to begin with? Because she was attempting to imply that although Obama is a "good" talker, that wasn't the only thing important. Cause she wanted to equal herself with being the "Doer" like LBJ was. In other words, she equalized LBJ to MLK standing...because it suited her narrative.

So in fact, she brought up someone that wasn't even relevant to the moment in order to make political points for herself. The carnarge ensued after that. Instead of making that admission and cleaning up that act, she remained insensitive to why that could have been seen perceived as a slight, and acted like she didn't quite get what the hoopla was about; Wide eye innocence and all.
