It’s alright to have depression. That’s life. A lot of people have it, and are able to function normally once they get help.

It’s not alright to do as Hillary is doing; because that begs the question of ‘what happens when she comes down’?

Barack Obama had not spoken with U.S. Rep. John Lewis as of Friday morning. Neither had Hillary Clinton. Lewis and his staff weren’t returning calls.

That lack of communication left a vacuum in Friday’s political spin cycle after the overnight bombshell report that Lewis planned to drop Clinton and cast his superdelegate vote for Obama at the Democratic Party’s national convention in August.

Lewis’ spokeswoman would only say that the New York Times report that Lewis would back Obama was “inaccurate,” but provided no details and did not respond to requests for more. Jeff Zeleny, the Times reporter who interviewed Lewis on Thursday, later told CNN that Lewis “unequivocally” said he would support Obama.

“If this election is stolen by any means;i.e courts Bush vs Gore, superdelates; gaming Florida and Michigan…….. from Sen. Obama, we will withdraw from the Democratic Party and not donate the DNC, and not transfer our votes to Clinton.”

BUT THIS RENEGING SH#T…Did or did NOT Lewis change his mind? Why do I even give a damn?

What matters?
WI, OH, and TX…the General Election…and then the 2008 Congressional Election in John Lewis’s district.

It doesn’t matter what his POV is now, he will be retired from the Congress in 2010.

This is not about “payback or settling scores,” this is about electing VIABLE, ACTIVE and ENGAGED LEADERS who represent THE BEST INTERESTS of their constituencies.

Still pondering his train is local NAACP president J. Whyatt Mondesire.

“You step out in the community and you’re bombarded by all this Obama-itis,” Mondesire says. “And when you ask people to tell you something about him, they shrug.

“I think it’s naive and unfair to criticize politicians because they endorse a candidate while the public moves in another direction.”

Mondesire is waiting for Obama to address “the structural inequality of black people.” Wasn’t Obama a former poverty activist in Chicago? Still waiting at the station?

He says he’s undecided and will know when he goes into the voting booth. But there’s one big thing he likes about Hillary.

“Bill will be there and he knows how to run the country.”

Sounds like a vote of confidence for Bill, I mean, Hillary, to me. Solutions, not speeches.

Now, what is that Negro gonna do when Philly votes Obama, like 80%! LOL!!

“Ain’t I woman?”

I think white women severely underestimate their privilege too.

And apparently many Latino women, who often see themselves as “white” agree considering the numbers in which they vote for Hillary Clinton. At one rally, two Latina women held up a poster that read: “Hillary Clinton: First Latina President”.

I saw it at Jezebel.com (see “Princeton Professor: Hillary is a Racist Scarlett O’Hara” http://jezebel.com/355614/princeton-professor-hillary-clinton-is-a-racist-scarlett-ohara

On that thread, the (mostly) white feminist readers were calling Melissa Harris-Lacewell all sorts of names over her “Hillary’s Scarlett O’Hara Act” article at The Root.com (http://www.theroot.com/id/44696).

No recognition of the disparities AT ALL.

And Erica Jong is still screaming her head off at HuffPo – complaining that Oprah “forgot” she’s a woman and picked her race over her sex and giving a laundry list of white women who have suffered in politics – as if ONLY white women have been oppressed in politics.

It’s exhausting – but hilarious at the same time.

Oh well, what can I say except

OBAMA ’08!

LOL! Ya gotta laugh about it, if you didn’t you’d have to cry. sigh.

Yet, even knowing the truth of this fact every feminist and NOW inspired Obama slam took my breath away. White women truly do not get the extent to which they have excluded women of color from the movement by its focus and priorities. They truly do not grasp the level of privilege they enjoy that the rest of us don’t. They often appear as breathless as I at the thought that we all aren’t standing behind them as the adoring female negro throng.

That “many people” don’t appreciate the issue doesn’t chap my hide nearly as much as the thought that other women, white women, just do NOT get the issue. Why refer to it as the National Orgnization of Women when it seems more like the National Organization of White Women?
