What "equality" means.

Leila Medley, an undeclared superdelegate, described herself as being "in turmoil" over who to vote for. Said Leila Medley:

Here I am -- 71-years-old and this is the last time I'll be involved in this process to this extent -- and there's a woman on the ballot. And she's a viable candidate

Ignoring the question of "viability" with regard to Clinton a more important point need be addressed:

Voting for a candidate because of their gender, because of their race, is a step away from equality.

If we wish to embrace the idea that the categories of man, woman, white, black are all irrelevant to the question of whether or not an individual is capable of performing a given task then we need to embrace this idea, this concept, this truth fully and base our assessments of individuals on the person alone.

If you vote for Obama because of his race or gender; if you vote for Clinton because of her race or gender, then you have declared the race, that gender matter; that race and gender are important, meaningful criteria by which a person's abilities may be assessed.

Don't vote for Obama because he is a black man.
Don't vote for Clinton because she is a white woman.

Vote for the person who shares your ideals, your hopes, your vision for a better tomorrow.

Anything less is merely an act of sexism or racism which behooves no one.
