"i never knew power to be a drunk wastrel with a penchant for potatoes."

Yes, I find that to be racist. You can dress it up as satirical if you want, but to call up offensive and inaccurate stereotypes just shows how lazy you are in argument.

No, it's obviously not a "privilege" to have heard Samantha Power speak or to have read an article of hers. It only takes a minute to google her and find one you know! But instead you decided to call her a moron because she made one off-the-record (and yes stupid) remark.

Clearly, you have already decided that whatever differences I point to between Hillary and Barack are "insubstantive" or biased towards her candidate. I'm not going to go digging up references for you but if you want to learn more about her, you can find links to much of her work at samanthapower.com or read some of her articles at Time.com.
