Hillary And The Racist Gap

Whether it is a gamble or not depends on the Voter ID laws. People poo-poo the idea that the elderly and minorites are disenfranchised, but I know from experience that this is the truth. I have heard of some states requiring a birth certificate. Now America, let's be honest. There are a generation of older African Americans that will not be able to get their birth certificate. Some states did not keep good records of blacks in the 60's and earlier. In searching for my family history, I have looked for copies of birth or even death certificates of my relatives in the South and as soon as you say they were black, they will tell you, it will be hard to find. As a result, those people living today may not be able to vote for the first potential black President because this country forced them to produce a birth certificate that cannot be produced. I understand the goal is to weed out illegal immigrants, but they are also weeding out citizens. posted 05/14/2008 at 11:57:12

Clinton Gas Tax Holiday: Hillary Attacks Economists

Hmmm. Mrs. Clinton.....I thought "experience" was important? In this case, Obama has the experience because they went through this in Illinois. So if experience is so important, then why doesn't Obama's experience in this count? Interesting. Guess what Clinton? Experience by itself means nothing. You must learn from it and put experience to use. Hope you are listening Clinton. posted 05/05/2008 at 09:40:06

Black-Issues Group: Price To Pay If Clinton Wins Through Superdelegates

In case you are wondering what my last post had to with the article. I am an African American woman that will not vote for Hillary Clinton...I don't care if she overturns the electorate or if she wins fairly. I am not a person that votes for someone just because they are a Democrat. They have to earn my vote with their policies and their vision...and Hillary has already lost mine on all counts. I won't be a part of the petition, but I understand that all most people are looking for, not just AA's, is fairness. As long as it is seen as a fair win, then there won't be reason to complain...unless you are like me and won't vote for her anyway. posted 05/02/2008 at 12:38:14
I am registered as a Democrat, but I consider myself to be an independent thinker. Hillary Clinton represents old politics that are for the good of those in power and not for the good of the people. McCain represents more of Bush and Obama represents a change in politics. The problem is that it is hard to change politics without experience and staunch support. Given all that, I don't support any of the current candidates. I will vote against the old school style of the Clintons and against the new version of Bush....but I am not yet convinced that I will vote for Obama in the GE. My goal is to vote for the person that I think will do the best job given the choices, even if they can't win. I cannot in good conscience, vote for someone that I don't trust or believe in, just because I think they can win. posted 05/02/2008 at 12:33:44

The Undeniable Virtue of Jeremiah Wright's Pro-Blackness (and the Problem with Pro-Whiteness)

You are contradicting yourself. You mock Ridley for saying that pro-black doesn't mean kill whitey, yet you turn right around call Wright a bigot for being pro-black. So, since you are so into taking people at their own words, what did Wright say that was bigoted? Did he ever say I hate the white man? Take him at his own words....what did he say, exactly? posted 04/25/2008 at 16:20:40

Pennsylvania Primary Results: Latest News, Video

I agree with you however, those OLD people are become a larger part of the voting block and they are more consistent in voting. They will do their best to keep the old way of politics alive and well. I really hope that the younger voters will become more consistent and active and force the change, but I am not sure about anything anymore. Clinton just seems to win more the more negative she goes and that is depressing. posted 04/22/2008 at 22:50:07
I am a Democrat that doesn't trust Hillary as far as I can throw her. However, I am a realist, and it seems to me that America isn't ready for the type of change that Barack is talking about. His type of change is changing the system, while Hillary's type of change is working within the system. America responds to dirty politics, negativity, focusing on wedge issues instead of real issues, and that is just how Clinton works (within the system). The voice of the American people will never be heard as long as Washington is run by corporate lobbyists and in the end, nothing will really change. posted 04/22/2008 at 22:41:20

My Proudest Moment as a Pundit: Bill O'Reilly Calls Me a Race Baiter

I don't believe that the comments were anti-american or anti-white. We need to define patriotism. You can love your country for the good and the bad, and you have to be able to acknowledge both. Sometimes love is tough. I love my country, but my heart hurts when the country does terrible things to other countries then ask, "why do you hate us"? I don't think that is anti-american. I think that is called independent thought and unconditional love. Also, sharing the truth about america's racist past and how it affects the future is not anti-white. Why is everyone acting like this is rocket science? The 60's were only 40 years ago. Many people that fought against integregation are still alive, some are in positions of power. Time has passed, but you can't ignore institutional racism. That is not anti-white, that is reality. posted 04/09/2008 at 12:30:51

Clinton, Obama: We Will Unite

There is a huge flaw to the Democrats belief that "we will unite". The issue is not racism or sexism. The issue is whether or not one vote counts. Superdelegates make people believe that their vote doesn't count. There doesn't seem to be a need for superdelegates or the electoral college. Obama supporters believe that he has the lead in the popular vote and delegates....so if superdelegates push towards Hillary, they won't be mad because they don't like Hillary, they will be mad because their vote didn't count, and they will more than likely not vote at all. Issues around FL and MI are pure BS because no one had a problem when Dean made this decision months ago, not even Hillary, and now all of a sudden people don't want FL and MI to be disenfranchised. TOTAL CRAP! If anyone leaves the Dem party or doesn't vote Dem, it is a reflection of the stupidity of the Dem leadership and nothing else. posted 03/28/2008 at 11:06:05
