There was a whole lotta talk about how Bill and Hillary played the race card in South Carolina. Bill's comparison to Jesse Jackson angered and offended enough Black people to ensure that Hillary lost the entire demographic for the rest of her life.
But this campaign is not about a race card--it's about the whole dispicable deck! They're all in play from South Carolina, to Southern Ohio. All 52 cards and the Joker, ta boot!
What's the Joker, you ask?
Black folks know all too well what the Joker is. It's the trump card that some White folks use to change the rules in the middle of the game.
The Joker is the card that gets played after you put on the uniform to fight for "Liberty" in the American Revolution--only to have it torn off your back lashed and your sorry ass thrown back into bondage.
The Joker is the card that gets played when you fight in a Civil War to end slavery only to see your 40-acres and a mule turn into the sinister system of sharecropping.
The Joker is the card that's played when you're promised the vote only to get poll taxed, Grandfather claused, and literacy tested, and lynch mobbed.
The Joker is the card that was played on Black men, who after fighing to liberate Europe from the Nazis, had to come back and live under Jim Crow.
The Joker is the card at the Draft board played to send Jamal to fight for freedom in South East Asia for a country that didn't give him the freedom from want in South St. Louis.
The Joker gets played when after a big storm in New Orleans, the white people search for food and the black people "loot."
The Joker gets played when Hillary Clinton coyly say on "60 Minutes" that "she takes Sen. Obama at his word that he's a Christian."
And...
the Joker is the card that's played in a political contest when you win more states, win more votes, win more delegates--14 contests in a row--and you're told that you're losing...
Oh yeah! That's the Joker!
Bill and Hillary know what the Joker is. You better believe it, brothers and sisters.
They played the Queen of Hearts in South Carolina, but they played the Joker in Michigan, and they played it in Florida. Now the Joker's out on the table for March 4th. Because now, according to Sen. Hillary-ous Clinton, the good man from Chicago's gotta win em all or he's a loser. A loser... That's what she says.
How do you put that again, Bill?
"Gimme' a break!"
Yeah, why don't you already...
The God's honest truth is that if Senator Barack Hussein Obama has had the deck stacked against him all along.
If he was named "Bobby Henry O'Bana" and was as a good ol' charming caucasion fella, this contest would have been over after Wisconsin. But he ain't..he's a man of color. He can be as "articulate" and "distinguished" as all get out, but he's still gotta play the game with Mama Clinton's worn out deck of cards--Joker and all.
We Black people know this...and most honest White people know it too.
It's time to call their bluff, call a spade a spade, take out the clubs, and call the Clinton's Joker a joke!
All you people in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island, we are counting on you to tell Bill and Hillary to gather up their race cards and go play some solitaire in Arkansas--we done had enough of the both of you....
