This is a joke. A pretty good one, too.
But you can't deny that it only works because of her politics. A conservative can't pull off a similar joke outside a private club, and even then there's a 47% chance they'll rue the day.
meh, a common, old joke. Funny under certain circumstances when the set up is there...like here where the moderator confused the two black men. Obviously the confusion was not because the moderator could not tell them apart physically, she made a name mistake and Clinton made the move.
But it's tired and recycled, not hysterical, just kinda, one-ha when used right...like in this video.
no one really thinks that "they all look alike" anymore, therefore the joke now is a joke on old, wrong claims. It's now a joke on history, and the handful of those holding on to those good old days, not on black people.
I disagree though. Anyone who does not harbor racist feelings could use this one liner under a similar set up as Hillary had done for her. Had you, a conservative, been in her situation, you very likely would have had the punch line pop into your head too, and you would have delivered it efffectively like she did, and no one would have thought poorly of you...unlike people here who are straining credibility in doing just that to her.
tell me you really aren't that sensitive.
