Repeating Herself?

Posted on March 12, 2008 by JP Smith

Geraldine FerraroWell, it looks like Geraldine Ferraro’s race-baiting ways go back a while.

The D.C. newspaper, The Politico, had dug up an old statement of hers from 1988. What it shows is that she not only has she pulled this garbage before but, also, that she needs some new material. If you remember her recent statement on Barack Obama, she stated that “(i)f 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.”

In 1988, she had this to say about Jesse Jackson when he ran for president:

“if Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn’t be in the race.”

Notice any similarities?

As you noticed, no doubt, I am greatly soured on Hillary Clinton. One big reason is that she continues to surround herself with people who are willing to play games with race for political advantage. Well, for some of us, it’s not a game — race actually impacts our lives in a very real way.
