first of all i don't think she was ever seriously going to run. and i would be unlikely to support her if she did just because i would prefer someone who held some kind of public office before.

but all the attacks over something she hasn't even said she was going to do was just wayyy too much. Mark Cuban has actually said he was considering running many times and there was never such push back in his case.

We should have been taught this about Rosa Parks in school. black history in most schools is just Rosa Parks refusing to get up and King's Dream Speech. they need to actually teach us about these people and how they go to do what they did .

i can understand the focus only being on the refusing to get up and speech in the lower grades. but in high school they need to do more.
