Senator Hillary Clinton can't use her tears again, so the campaign decided to use another raced white woman for Senator Barack Obama to pick on. Geraldine Ferraro is whining that she is not a racist as Obama campaign is suggesting. Ferraro made a comment suggesting that Barack's qualifications if he was a raced white male or female would not be in the running for President. Ferraro argues that Barack is an affirmative action African-American male running for President against a better qualified raced white woman who the public is supporting.
Ferraro was selected for Vice- President in 1984. Ferraro is now working to get Hillary elected. It is no surprise that Ferraro is saying what she is saying, it is all calculated. These are not dumb women, these are professional political women who know their audiences and are cattily playing to their audience.
These women are playing the Abigail Addam's playbook, by any means necessary, raced white women before African-American males.
UPDATE: Ferraro steps down as an advisor to Clinton, to attack Obama without being attached to the Clinton Campaign. Ferraro suggest that she will not be painted with the brush of white privileged as a raced white woman who has to curb her racialist discourse.
Hillary Clinton may be priviledged but she is no racist. But as a woman, honestly, do you think that she has been treated fairly in this process?
