Apparently there is a little kerfuffle with Geraldine Ferraro saying that Obama would not be where he is if he wasn’t black:
In an interview with the Breeze, Ferraro said, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color), he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
The comment was picked up by political blogs and cable news shows across the country. The Obama campaign held a conference call today to denounce the remark, and Obama surrogates urged Sen. Hillary Clinton to repudiate it.
Susan Rice, an Obama adviser, called on Clinton to repudiate the remark in an appearance today on MSNBC.
“That is a really outrageous and offensive comment,” Rice said. “I think if Sen. Clinton is serious about putting an end to statements that have racial implications, that diminish Barack Obama because he’s an African-American man, then she ought to really repudiate this comment, and make it clear there is no place in her campaign for people who say this kind of thing.”
This is what happens when someone speaks out against Obama….next thing you know your a racist. I mean a majority of blacks are not voting for Obama just because he is black right? That couldn’t be. From Mississippi today:
But you know what…I don’t feel sorry for her. It’s her party that started the racial politics back in the day, they wrote the rules on who, what, when and how people could pull out the race card and now lookie….its come back to bite you on the ass. Reverse Racism at its finest.
Of course he wouldn’t be where he is today except for the color of his skin AND his talent at public speaking. The man has almost no experience and almost no accomplishments but is leading in delegates across the country. Of course Hillary wouldn’t be where she is today if it wasn’t for the fact her husband had a talent at public speaking AND she is a woman. They are both empty suits and are taking advantage of the system their party have used for decades.
Geraldine is just stating an very obvious fact, one most people are too afraid to say.
