I Can Prove Ferraro's Comments Were Racist w/Poll

Tue Mar 11, 2008 at 06:13:18 PM PDT

you can tell by the Clinton's response alone the real intent of these comments.

By not denouncing these comments as racist Clinton is basically accepting the consequences that will come by not doing so.  

This is not by accident, the consequences were weighed and the decision was made to not apologize.

Make no mistake, every black person and non-racist white in America finds these comments offensive, that's a hell of a lot of voters who will be alienated.

This would be a nightmare for Clinton if she hadn't already alienated the AA's and non-racist whites.

Tactically speaking, it would only make sense for her to Not denounce these remarks if she stands more to gain from encouraging the racists than she will lose from alienating the blacks and nonracists.

Considering that Penn. has a AA pop. of 18%, to not denounce these remarks is a very racist thing to do indeed.  

Just some thoughts, tell me what you think.  I personally feel like I'm going to throw up right now, I feel so sick, I hate the race-baiting and this was Blatant

Furthermore, no group in America deserves to be marginalized for ANY reason, its so damaging to our society our culture.

Clinton might think it's worth it for some votes, but we're the ones actually living in the middle of this society that she's so willing to divide.  We are the ones that will be feeling the effect of the racial tension these comments will cause across America.

Jesse Jackson where are you?!
