Chelsea E. Manning‏
"oh no, racism and hatred are bad m'kay, don't do it, m'kay" 😳 we can do better 😎🌈💕 #WeGotThis



The Tweet she is responding to is below.

Hillary Clinton‏
My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country.



I'm posting in the AA forum because this about a public figure mocking racism and bigotry. I get disliking one politician or another. I'm as guilty as the next person.

This tweet is a prime example of someone so blinded by their hate of a candidate. they'd childishly mock the sympathy and compassion that Hillary expressed to minority communities. It shows me how little Manning thinks of minorities and I won't forget it.

I'm not trying to refight the 2016' Primary or attack Manning for releasing government secrets.
