Geraldine Ferraro's comment; Not supposed to say so?
Don't the pundits get it? All I hear on the tube is how horrible it was for Gerry to say what she did. Aren't they in tune with the pulse of the country? We have a long way to go in the U.S. as far as racial issues! We have a seemingly unimportant law in the Constitution called 'free speech', and all I can see that Ferraro said was what is a sign of the times, and being very candid and blunt about it, which happens to be the truth. I don't see anything racial about it.
I'm going to bring up another question that isn't supposed to be asked. Would Oprah Winfrey have jumped so heavily (pardon the pun) into backing Obama if he had been a white man?? 'HELL NO'!!! I believe that's the truth, but I'm not supposed to say it? I'll say what I want, because it's my right. Do you think it's a coincidence that Obama has overall captured almost ninety percent of the black vote? If you do, you are really naive.
Now lets look at Obama's role in this whole mess. As far as I can see the Obama campaign was the one that made this a big deal. I'm really getting tired of Al Sharpton, the NAACP and every other black group crying 'poor pitiful us' every time some little thing is said about blacks! Get over it! Slavery is 'NO MORE', I'm probably going to piss some folks off here, but where the blacks are now is a lot better than running around barefoot in a loin cloth in Africa! We happen to have more blacks who are well educated and in good jobs than any country in the world. How about the athletes making multi million dollar salaries. I have a lot of good friends who happen to be black, and most of them are tired of it as it is demeaning to them when Sharpton and the likes of him are tearing down their own race. I believe they attempt to bring division in the races for their own purposes.
Going back to the black vote for a minute, it seems every time a black person is asked on TV if they voted for Obama because he is black, they say, "oh no, I voted for him because he is the best candidate". Bull Sh.., if they're honest about 75-80% would have said yes. Believe what you want, I believe 'that' is the truth, but I guess I'm not supposed to say so.
I know I may sound a bit racist here, but believe me I'm not. What I do believe is that Barack Obama is a man running for President, and Hillary Clinton is a woman running for president. We should be looking at the 'issues' and not race or gender. The process is complicated enough without adding such great amounts of stupidity into it. I hope you all get out and vote from the head, and the heart for the best 'person' for president. Don't let the media, or those who would hope to disrupt the process influence you. Happy voting!
Thanks, Beau.
