The one where she stands silent as smug white people applaud the physical expulsion of a young black woman they said was trespassing despite having paid the $500.

2008 race baiting tapped into the sense of superiority "hard working white people" want to have recognized.

The mass incarceration she promoted enslaves mostly black citizens was designed to court white voters by making them feel safe from those she identified as superpredators.

All of these things promote a sense of superiority by giving special attention and validation to white citizens at the expense of people of color.
