Why Clyburn is a target is a mystery to me. He has never been known to be combative - he rose to prominence in South Carolina as the state's Human Affairs commissioner, and has been particularly adept at making the white power structure feel comfortable.
He's seen this kind of stuff before. The thing about these older black men who came out of the fields and swamps of South Carolina - they have not forgotten how to confront the mean part of life that ex-crackers don't seem to want to forget.
Well at my job a woman acted as if she wanted to attack me because Clinton lost. Her and another were in the bathroom taling about how they feel like O.J. Simpson just got off again. Please try and convince me that that was not racially charged.
Clyburn said that there, "are always pockets in this country of people who cannot find it in themselves to grow up. And to the extent which people fail to mature, we’ll still have some work to do.”
All over this country. I live in New York as I have said. People act as if New York is so progressive...please!
When my mother opened her stores back in 2004 and 2006, we kept getting all kinds of scary calls. One person even threw dog shit on my mother's car. We needed police parked across the street. This is Westchester County, New York-right outside the city.
Growing up in the Bronx, I knew about these raw racial emotions.
What I cannot take is people acting as if we came a long way because of Barack. I am proud of Barack more than anybody but I think that we are jumping ahead with those proclaimations. Barack's nomination win is one for the history books like so many other milestones in American history. Nonetheless, I feel that this primary season and then this election has made overt previously covert racial tensions.
I actually believe that I previously gave the American people more credit than they deserved.
Things are tough all over. Or as I have said, idiots are everywhere, so these preconceived of one party being more accepting then the other is really silly. But I guess with the Dem's it's the devil you know, or at least thought you did.
As for the people have suggested an independent alliance for black people who want more of a voice, I'm there. I think there are a lot of issues we agree once the issues are discussed especially if we leave the stigma of existing party affiliation behind.
"I actually believe that I previously gave the American people more credit than they deserved."
I have recently come to that conclusion myself (before this primary season), isn't it just a yucky feeling.
It would be great if we had really progressed. But don't be to down about this, they will except this eventually too, time demands so.
Someone at your job really compared Obama's primary win to OJ getting off? I know I shouldn't use profanity, but that is fucked up. I'm sorry you have to deal with such people.
We will not be defeated...but we know the journey is not over.
This is my tribute to the 77 yr old Virgie in Lexington, Ky who I look forward to working with in the General Election.
And as I type this, Hilary Rosen is on Larry King still talking about Hillary voters as "her voters". They are not helping this situation by differentiating Democrats when the primary is over!!
The primary is over Hilary, there are no Hillary voters anymore! To continue to invoke her in those terms feeds division.
Larry King's reporting Barack and Hillary are meeting tonight.
Their silence and foot-dragging in denouncing incidents like this speaks VOLUMES...
O is meeting with hillbilly tonight.I hope he doesn't give her shit. I think the only way she is going to campaign for him is under the threat of her ass being shunned by her colleagues. Because the clinton empire has crumbled, and she is scrambling to hold on to crumbs of power. There is no way they will be vetted because bill is a lobbyist for foreign countries.Her brothers sold presidential pardons & she is currently involved in a campaign finance fraud lawsuit. She already knows that. She probably hates him all the more because he is ethical.
Maya Angelo was on CNN talking about why she loves hillbilly. She is elderly now. Pretty sad.
Dixiecrat? Well, I guess that's true to an extent, but let's not fool ourselves. A whole lot of the whites we're talking about here are liberal, pro-abortion, anti-war, pro-gay marriage, and...anti-black. There are also some who didn't think they were anti-black, and probably found the idea of a black man winning the Democratic nomination for President very pleasant- until it began to look as if it might actually happen.
I wonder how many of "her voters" will help pay off her campaign debt. Oh, I forgot - many of them earn less than $50k a year and can't afford to put their money where their mouths are. $5 from each of her 18M supporters should do the trick!
The Obama campaign may urge/encourage his supporters to finance her debt. The thought is cringe worthy. I believe in unity but not paying off someone else's debt. The Clintons s/b able to pay it off themselves with the take from a few of Bill's speeches.
Their silence and foot-dragging in denouncing incidents like this speaks VOLUMES...
I told you...I 'thought' I heard a different tone in Clyburn on Bev Smith's show. And finding out that Bubba cussed him out?
HELL NO.
Clyburn's not having ANY OF IT.
How can they call anyone out on it, when the question would automatically be raised about WHY her supporters ' went there'.
You know it, and I know it.
And folks STILL don't want to admit the racebaiting sundae that she's been building since Billy Shaheen.
After all, it's been in 'our imagination'.
Does anyone know what Bill Clinton actually said to James Clyburn?
Have no idea what he said, but it's obvious Clyburn wasn't pleased.
Best response at P6:
Who does Ferraro think Obama is--Hoke from Driving Miss Daisy?
"Ferraro said she has not been asked to raise funds for the Obama campaign."
No kidding?
Hahaha..
guess what the word verification is for this comment: kkkslyy!

"The best paragraph I've read on the Web today..."
Ottermatic (who has a super-cool blog graphic and motto), was pondering the sexism thrown at Michelle Obama and, in the process, co-signed with another blogger who is ready to ride with the First Lady-to-be:
What I really want to say right now, though, is that I am with Cheryl Lynn when it comes to Michelle Obama: “‘Chelle could call me at two o’clock in the morning and ask me to roll on a bitch and I would calmly pull out my sneakers and Vaseline.”*
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
that I am there because I was "put" there. When I get clients and prosper, they try and sabotage me. I already told them about themselves. I used to be like Obama with them. This latest issue just proves how ignorant and prejudice they are.
It seems to be a slogan going
around with Clinton supporters...that whole O.J. thing. Thats simply shocking! The fact that they would even repeat it says so much about their mentalities.
It speaks even more about the kind of campaign Clinton lead for the past 15 months.
Ferraro is presumptious. She reminds me of all the older white women that I had to go to church with when I was young. She also fits the exact description:
1. From New York
2. Italian American
3. from a family of Reagan Democrats
4. Catholic
I know her better than the back of my hand. My mother and I were just talking about this the other day. It ain't pretty.
Yea Maya Angelou is delusional.
What I cannot take is people acting as if we came a long way because of Barack. I am proud of Barack more than anybody but I think that we are jumping ahead with those proclaimations. Barack's nomination win is one for the history books like so many other milestones in American history.

We can't heal what we can't see. I've said before that this primary season has picked all the nation's scabs and revealed bruises many people didn't even know we had.
Barack's nomination does prove we've come a long way.
Yes, we have a long way to go.
Know hope.

How Obama Did It
and...
Huffinton Post
Time And Tide Wait For No Woman
Let me guess? Those dumb heifers are from Staten Island too? There is a special breed of idiocacy amongst those fools. I had the pleasure of living there for awile, and what I learned is if it aint in the post or on the cover of the Enquirer they don't get it. You saw Jungle Fever I'm sure...doesn't Annabella character remind you of most of those unedumacated ( yeah they went to a school but not to learn) NYc Italian American women?
They are just so ignorant that unless we are just drinking together or something, I avoid any and all subjects of substance. Intellectualism is not what alot of those women get exposed to. So sad...
You all know her, she might be different in the north, but the charcteristics are usually the same, the air of entitlement and priviledge, and their condescending attitude toward the lesser humans among them, with their benevolence towards others that goes only so far IF it doesn't impede on their selfish lives, in essence any leftovers after they are finished. And don't you dare disagree with them on any issue because Ms. Ann knows best, as long as you stay in your place.
This is nothing new. Some of these women actually believe by allowing us, in this case Barack Obama to compete, they are enlightened, BUT, once the game is at an end we are suppose to lose and let them have their perceived and expected and most times unearned rewards. When that doesn't happen, the results are what you are seeing from these women: anger, disbelief that those people (us) didn't know or stay in our place. How dare we.
Nothing new, but maybe new to some of you who have never experienced it in such outward and upfront displays. Thus, the woman's outburst the other day when she could not understand how Black folks were voting for Barack Obama because we did not understand what we were doing and as a result should not be allowed to vote.
There it is.
I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time at work. I am emotionally at a place where people like that fill me with glee and I crack up in silence. As long as they don't say anything directly to you, simply ignore them as if you don't even hear them. Most likely they will never say anything to you. They are trying to bait you so don't fall for it. When they see they have failed they will stop. teacher suggested you contact your HR department. I leave that choice to you depending
on the severity of what is going on. Everything will be alright and
you will be much stronger for enduring it.
truthseeker,
that 2nd link said it ALL!
