She should go read Alexander H. Stephens's (VP of Confederacy) Cornerstone Speech

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition. [Applause.] This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

Look just because it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and explicitly goes on record telling you it is without a doubt a duck doesn't necessarily mean it is a duck because ducks don't usually go on record about anything. Besides, just because something behaves like a duck before you give it immense political power to control your life doesn't mean you should assume said "duck" will behave like a duck after you give it political power. Most "duck" like entities only behave like ducks to get elected and are actually chickens at heart so you have nothing to worry about so don't listen to their quacking THEY ARENT DUCKS OK.

pstttttttttttt, by the way to all you patriotic citizens out there trying to decide who to vote for, our candidate SURE loves hanging around at parks eating bread tossed to them by old ladies!
