<DIV>If men were beating women after the election of a woman president, would you consider it because of her policies, or because of sexism from small men?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think if Black people are violated after the election of a Black man, while shouting the elected persons name, it is very indicative to me that it is a racist motivated crime.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
