Bill & Hillary Clinton Lose Support of Black Voters

The following is the lead-in to an article that appeared USAToday, this week:

DILLON, South Carolina (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton downplayed recent acrimony between her campaign and that of Barack Obama as her husband, former President Bill Clinton, suggested she may lose Saturday’s Democratic presidential primary because many black voters will side with Obama.

I find it curious that this argument of people voting along racial lines is only being raised as it relates to Obama’s campaign. If black people are going to vote along racial lines (and I am not saying this is NOT the case), then aren’t white people and mexican people (especially mexicans) doing it too. And hasn’t this really been the case all along? I am not surprised by this, only by the fact that, until now, white people, have come to realize and take exception to the fact that RACE COLORS EVERYTHING (NO PUN INTENDED)! (Bill and Hillary represent the views of all white people, right? Just as a single black person is oftentimes characterized as representing the views of the black race).

I know that they are part of the elite class but it is not possible that anyone who happily accepts the title of the “first black president” who is married to a white woman who claims to have been committed to blacks and their problems throughout her life (these are my words and not hers; I am simply trying to paraphrase a bucket load of bull shit into a couple of sentences, could not have been aware of the enormous racial divide in this country. In reality they are rednecks who have for years been pandering to black folks and the have-nots, in order to maintain elected positions.

Let’s not just limit this assumption that people make decisions in favor of their race to the President Obama/Hillary battle. In essence, what Bill is insinuating is that people favor those who are of the same racial make-up as themselves and disfavor those who are racially dissimilar to themselves. Hmmmm, definitely sounds like intellectual aptitude deserving of a Rhodes Scholarship.

So, let’s theorize about what the impact is likely to be due to this supposed tendency of people to let their decisions be overwhelmingly influenced by their race? Let’s look at the employment market? What about law enforcement? How about sentencing for criminal convictions? Then there is educational opportunities or a lack thereof. Oh, let’s not forget to consider access to healthcare and treatment and diagnosis of disease. And what about the media coverage of people of color versus others? Oops, did I imply that the very media that run these fucked up stories are biased against people of color?

Anyway, I yell “BULLSHIT” to all of these shenanigans. Bill and Hillary put a new layer of stench on an already funky pile of mile high shit!
