More on the Ferraro Mess

Posted on March 11, 2008 by JP Smith

Geraldine FerraroOkay, when you’re caught saying something racist do you:

a) Deny it.
b) Apologize.
c) Say something even more absurd.

If you chose ‘c’, your name might be Geraldine Ferraro. As I posted previous, Ferraro made what could only be described as a stupid, racist statement.

Now, after being questioned about what she said, she came back with this witty retort:

“Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let’s address reality and the problems we’re facing in this world, you’re accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think they’re attacking me because I’m white. How’s that?”

So, calling you on racism make others racist?

With her still being on the campaign, I guess Clinton, despite her weak public “disagreement” with Ferraro’s statement, actually approves of her actions.
