Maria Echaveste: Hillary Clinton did not get a fair chance with both media perspectives and the subtleties on gender discrimination. I think … there’s a zone of protection around Senator Obama on race where none existed on gender.… It also raised all kinds of pretty misogynistic views about women and that woman in particular. And a lot of women are angry about it.
Chris Edley: The real challenge of leadership is to find ways to talk about the things that divide us and help us figure out how to bridge those not by ignoring them but by, in some sense, overcoming them, resolving them, accommodating them.… I’m not for ignoring race in the sense that it can’t be ignored. It’s going be there no matter what. If you ignore it in the sense of simply not talking about it then you’ve failed to do anything effectively to deal with the cancer.
