Is it just me or does anyone else see what I see in this entire Obama-Clinton(s) confrontation. Here we have Hillary, who has “35 years of experience” that “qualifies” her to become President of the United States (yeah right!); and now we have ex-President Bill Clinton, “the first black President” of the U.S. coming to Hillary’s “rescue” as her attack dog, barking innuendos at every turn
Now both of these Clinton would have all of us Black folks to believe that the both of them are our best friends and strongest advocates in the Civil Right movement, as well as Affirmative Action. And what makes these blatant lies so pathetic is the fact that a huge number of my fellow Blacks believe them.
Since Hillary and Bill are such “great champions” of the Black cause(s), why don’t they put some action where all of their talk has been: Bow out of the race for President, and throw all of their support to Obama.
Or was all that alleged ‘championing’ relegated to ‘a Black’ being able to visit and work in “The Big [White] House”, but never ever Run and/nor Reside in “The Big [White] House”?
And if they're magnanimous enough to bow out and throw all their support to Obama, then Blacks such as myself will be more inclined to believe that they really have Blacks’ best interests as heart. Blacks like me would try and forget that the “hope” that Hillary and Bill supposedly fought so hard to help us to realize is something much more that just “a false hope”.
You see, what Bill and Hillary are doing to Obama cannot be blamed on some imaginary “vast right wing conspiracy”, because the three of them are all Democrats (the supposed champions of the Black cause). And it is patently obvious that the likes of “Messy” Jesse [Jackson], “Alley Cat” Al [Sharpton], “Handy” Andy [Young], and “Bumpkin” Bob [Johnson] are not going to confront neither Bill and/nor Hillary on their covert racist tactics. Alas, I wouldn’t expect anymore from these race baitin poverty pimps. I grew up in Mississippi, and have spent most of my adult life in Michigan and Illinois; So I know both overt and covert racism when it rears its ugly head. Of the two, if I had to choose one over the other, I would prefer overt racism (the kind exhibited by the KKK, Skin Heads, etc), and at the same time, while despising both, I totally detest covert racism (The hidden and/or camouflaged kind exhibited by “Liberal” Democrat white folks). The reason being, is that with covert racism, the racist can throw a brick, hide his/her hand, and by the time the victim realize that it was a ‘racist brick’, thrown by a Secret Agent racist, they're long gone. Witness the following regarding Lyndon Johnson: “Johnson, like other presidents, would often reveal his true motivations in asides that the press never picked up. During one trip, Johnson was discussing his proposed civil rights bill with two governors. Explaining why it was so important to him, he said it was simple: ‘I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.’
‘That was the reason he was pushing the bill,’ said MacMillian, who was present during the conversation. ‘Not because he wanted equality for everyone. It was strictly a political ploy for the Democratic party. He was a phony from the word go.’”
That excerpt is from a book entitled “Inside The White House”, by Ronald Kessler (Page 33, Paragraphs 2 & 3).
But then again, Bill and Hillary and all well-meaning (and not so well-meaning) white Liberals need not move over nor step aside. The Door is open. Civil Rights is law, as is Affirmative Action (which is nothing more than reverse discrimination). But the Law hasn’t been passed that can legislate a condition of the heart. No amount of Legislation will ever stop a racist from being a racist; it may make him and her cover it up as well as they can, but when the chips are down and Hillary and Bill are really up against the wall. . .watch what happens.
