Also see: If Obama were white...
I need my fellow African Americans to take a step back and think about this. Why are you picking apart everything Hil says to make her seem racist? Ferraro is right. If Obama were white, he would not be in the exact same position. He may still be a great candidate but if weren’t black do you think that so many African Americans in the country would choose him over Hillary Clinton, who has been an activist in the black community for decades?
Hillary doesn’t need to apologize to anyone for Ferraro’s words. Sure, she has to be PC but it isn’t her fault that those around her speak the truth.
"They're open to her, but at this point they're kind of lukewarm because of the disparaging comments of some of her people, not necessarily hers," said John Smith, chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association.
The thing is, she’ll probably lose this primary due to Democrats who are stuck on "her campaign is racist," "she’s old Washington" "She’s dishonest." But think about it. What politician is really honest? Just because Barack tells you he’s honest doesn’t mean he is. He’s a politician too, who has spent less time in Washington, and less time in the political world than Clinton.
Drench the African American blogs with your thoughts. Make them think twice about jumping on the "racist" train so quickly. Let them know that there is a line between defending your race and having a closed mind. African American Opinion, Politopics, and African American Political Opinion are just a few of the African American blogs out there. Let me know how it goes.
