I am listening to YET ANOTHER bozo on CNN say...his voice dripping with tsk, tsk...that the Clinton campaign is raising the race issue.
Hello?
I don’t even know what PLANET you people are on, much less what country you’re in.
I have achieved more than half a century of Life in this country. I am college-educated. I was raised in corporate America. I have been a registered Republican since I was old enough to vote, NOT that I voted for George Bush in 2004. I can’t remember too much about 2000.
NO ONE HAS TO PLAY THE RACE CARD AND YOU FUCKING KNOW IT. Or we wouldn’t have all kinds of legislation and programs to mitigate the effects of racism.
Racism has been prominently on the American table since I was old enough to see over the edge ot it.
You think we’re past all that, do you?
I took Amtrak from Los Angeles to the Iowa and back last December, to witness the Caucus Spectacle. Since then, I have driven from L.A. to Florida and back, with multiple weeks in Georgia. Things have changed, sure. But like Hoak said in Driving Miss Daisy, “things ain’t changed all THAT much.”
We’re over the racist thing?
Tell me then, how it is that Ahmedou Ould-Abdallahah comes to Washington to plead for support, one last time, before he will simply have to do what he has to do in Somalia. I don’t even know what that means, but I’d like to think you do. I know he ended by saying, “This is our country.” He’s taking it back, I think.
If we’re so done bein’ a racist nation, kindly explain AFRICOM. In particular, please explain how it is that an all-white panel delivers its expertise-minus-practical-understanding-and-authentic-perspective for the New Africa Command, headed by General Ward and headquartered IN FUCKING BERLIN. Our non-racist selves wouldn’t be carving Africa up, would we? Imperialism with a vulgar racist brutality, that’s so fifteen minutes ago.
Look at our prison statistics, for fuck’s sake. Look at the rate at which YOU allow black men to be fed into the meat grinder of Incarceration Incorporated, and tell me again that racism in this country isn’t as obvious as your abundance of baubles and your lack of bravery.
You are cowardly, opportunistic public sycophants who are turning a blind eye to McCarthyism, The Sequel...read that, anyone who doesn’t have a hard-on for Obama is a racist.
You better fucking think twice about eliminating HIllary Rodham Clinton, who I loathe, because the Neoconservatives will not HESITATE to eliminate Barack Hussein Obama.
The Democratic party should never have been anything but OVERWHELMINGLY united, with singleness of purpose, behind an eminently electable candidate.
However, comma, since the Democrats FAILED to press their advantage...shocker though that is...you better wait a little before you whittle your options down to one.
As representatives of the people, you are obliged to review our history in order to stabilize our present and safeguard our future.
