An OTBKB reader and friend sent me this article, which talks about Heather Johnston, a  Park Sloper and food blogger, who was cited on the Park Slope 100. The article is by Erik Engquist And Miriam Kreinin Souccar in Crain’s NY.

Conflicts are especially pronounced when someone breaks from a demographic that is aligned with a candidate—for example, blacks for Mr. Obama or middle-aged women for Mrs. Clinton.

“As an African-American woman, it’s been a torturing race in a lot of ways,” says Clinton backer Heather Johnston, 43, a chef in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Her husband, who is white, and their two daughters are with her in the Clinton camp, but not her black relatives. “As I’m arguing with my family, a lot of emotions come up. They say, `He’s talking with the inspiration of Martin [Luther King Jr.].’ “

She allows, “I like Obama. But I like Hillary better.”

The polar opposite might be Brooklyn Heights resident Judi Francis, a white woman of Mrs. Clinton’s generation. But she’s an Obama enthusiast and considers Mrs. Clinton a flip-flopping sellout.

Her friends, glass-ceiling fighters from the 1960s and ’70s, won’t hear it. “Every woman I’ve spoken with who supports Hillary in New York City is doing it out of loyalty to the sisterhood,” she says. “They are surprised that I wouldn’t.”
