Hillary Clinton and Eminem both love White America

Filed under: Hillary Clinton

I suggest the following soundtrack while reading this post:

Once again, the Clintons play the race card:

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."


"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.


Yeah, the pattern emerging is that Hillary will do whatever it takes to win, including falling back on the kind of Southern race-baiting that builds a bridge back to last century.

Meanwhile, Tony Morrison backs away from her famous "Bill Clinton is the first black president" remark:


Do you regret referring to Bill Clinton as the first black President? —Justin Dews, Cambridge, Mass.

People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race.

Why did you endorse Barack Obama for the presidency? —Chris Francis Lightbourne, Long Island, N.Y.

I thought about voting for Hillary at the beginning. I don't care that she is a woman. I need more than that. Neither his race, his gender, her race or her gender was enough. I needed something else, and the something else was his wisdom.


Other stuff white people like.
Stuff white people like to eat.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is engaged in no "race baiting". This article is engaged in "race baiting." Sen. Clinton has been the victim of black racism - why no mention of that racial concern? There was black racism in the North Carolina win by Obama, and several of his victories resulted from black racism against Sen. Clinton. Sen. Obama is being prematurely crowned with the presidential nominatio by corporate media and certain superdelegates because of the color of his skin and fear of alienating the black vote. Again, Sen. Clinton is the victim of black racism. If there was black voting based on experience, qualifications and the issues, Sen. Clinton would be leading Sen. Obama.

As to Morrison's denial of Obama's skin color and race and talking about "wisdom". Obama is lacking in wisdom because he is lacking in experience.

"Alienating the black vote"?! Dude's ahead in the popular vote. I think it's safe to assume the superdelegates are more concerned about alienating the majority. You know, like in a democracy.

Ugh...I'm turning on, tuning in, and dropping out!

Obama's plenty experienced enough. DC's turned into a place where liberals go to become assholes. If Obama waited any longer to run, he'd become an asshole just like the Clintons have become.

The difficulty HRC supporters are having in letting go only goes to prove that she ran the wrong kind of campaign, one that built support by tearing down others instead of building a positive case for herself. Now her supporters have to re-process basic information about Obama thanks to the Clinton disinformation machine.

"If there was black voting based on experience, qualifications and the issues, Sen. Clinton would be leading Sen. Obama."

So, you are saying black voters don't consider experience, qualifications or the issues?

Wow.
