Here's the thing, it's not about apologizing. It's about awareness.

There's been a history of slavery in this country and after that subordination and after that institutionalized racism and a large segment of the people being targeted are black men.

So whenever Hilary refers to race, she is forgetting all the privilege she has that allows her to say that freely and not get flack for it. She says it as a white woman and that separates her from people, that is the difference, at least for me, between feminism and womanism. I am a black woman and because of that I carry with me a history of racial oppression as well as experiences of it in its current forms. I can't forget that when Hillary or any other white person in power says things about Barack she's making comments that extend to my people, the group I identify with most racially, socially, culturally etc.

You have to be aware of how those comments, your actions or in some cases lack of actions speaks to the difference in privilege you are afforded as a white woman, things black and other minority females don't have. When you or others forget, as in Hillary's case, it leads to more fragmentation. It has to or the underlying problems won't be recognized.
