Hillary Clinton does an Abigail Addams Plays the Race Card

"Remember the ladies", it appears to be the message that Hillary is sending to raced white America in a recent comment about Lyndon Johnson and the Civil Right Act of 1964, which the provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing.

Some suggest that Hillary was saying if it was not for Johnson, Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. would seemly be just a footnote in history, instead of the hero he is to many Americans. In other words it took a raced white person in a powerful position to improve the lives of African-Americans and others rather than the dream maker. Oh my just before Dr. King's birthday !!

Clinton was quoted just before the New Hampshire primary as saying King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Some black leaders have criticized that the remark suggest Johnson deserved more credit than the slain civil rights leader for the passage and enactment of major civil rights legislation.

But Hillary is heightening the awareness of women that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 open more doors for women than its did for African-Americans in colleges and jobs.

This reference is no different than Abigail's admonishment to her husband, President John Addams that if anyone was to get full citizenship rights first it should be raced white women before African-Americans and foreign men.

Hilliary playing the race card may prove that there is still a great divide in America as to who should be considered first, raced white women or the whole African-Americans population. Hilliary campaign has been heavily laced with racial comments directed at Obama, even the one that suggested that voters needed to pick an electable candidate..suggesting Obama is part of America's Negro problem.
