		<description>&lt;i&gt;Now there are those middle and upper middle class black folks running around talking about, &quot;I can vote for anyone I want, this is America.&quot; I&#039;m voting for Billary because she is more qualified than Obama. Whatever!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;AAPP,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Usually, I agree with you, but outside of those who directly get something from Billary, I see it just the opposite. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Middle and Upper Middle Class folks are the ones who lurched over to Obama first, because they completely identify with him, and his struggles in &#039; White Corporate America &#039;, i.e. politics. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They are the ones who recognize, with alertness, how the Clintons tried to change the rules in the middle of the game. They know it.</description>

		<description>@AAPP, you&#039;re absolutely right!!!  Great point!  I never considered that Bill would get his ace-coon negroes like Vernon Jordan to go around spreading talking points like:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve had sexual relations with just as many black woman as that smart ass nigger.&quot; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Some of us remember when Vernon Jordan was on 60Minutes talking about what he and Bill would talk about when they were on the golf course together...they would talk about (and these were Jordan&#039;s actual words) Pu$$y.  That story was a prelude to all of the Monica Lewinsky stuff.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So, your comment is not farfetched at all.  It&#039;s right on the mark.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;America&#039;s got more important things to worry about than where Bill will sow his seed.  We can stop these  soap operas and scandals in their tracks.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;YES, We CAN!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;BTW, Oprah&#039;s remarks were on point too...If she would have said what we we&#039;re all really thinking, &quot;Don&#039;t Play me CHEAP!&quot; that whole Pauly Pavillion would have exploded.</description>

		<description>&quot;Don&#039;t play be small!&quot;  Oprah and Michelle did their thang yesterday!!!  That&#039;s what you call standing by your man...not tolerating his continuous indiscretions and public humiliations, but demanding nothing but the best from him and giving it in return. I&#039;m against dynastic presidencies, but if Barack is elected, Barack 2008-2016then Michelle 2016-2024.  Damn, she makes me proud to be a Black woman!</description>

		<description>I am so glad that Oprah is no handkerchief head. It&#039;s interesting to see all of these black political clowns, handkerchief heads, and a number of black preachers say to blacks that we should vote for Hillary Clinton because her husband was (code words) &#039; a good white man.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Many of these black political &quot;yes em&quot; types, even sound like they are in the deep south during a county seat election in which a black man had the audacity to run for political office. You know the type, a smart, educated black man comes back home after getting a east coast education. and decides to run against Mr. Charlie. Mr. Charlie goes to the preacher and says, &quot;now you know I treats you negroes good, now you just go out there and tell your negro friends what a great white man I have been for you. Tell them, &quot;I&#039;m just as black&quot; is that smart that smart ass nigger who is running against Mr. Charlie. You can even tell those black guys, &quot;I&#039;ve had sexual relations with just as many black woman as that smart ass nigger.&quot; And that is exactly what they (Bill and Hillary) did in late 2007 and early 2008, they had Andrew Young come out and say all sorts of crazy things. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now there are those middle and upper middle class black folks running around talking about, &quot;I can vote for anyone I want, this is America.&quot; I&#039;m voting for Billary because she is more qualified than Obama. Whatever! No you have been bamboozled, you have been took, you have been lead astray, you are now that black man in the county seat ready to vote for the black man, but were told don&#039;t you dare vote for that black man, don&#039;t you vote for that smart ass nigger who has the audacity to run against Mr. Charlie (in this case Mr. Charlie&#039;s wife) and you have bought into the hype about how good they have been for us.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let&#039;s see if those blacks who think that way are out of touch with the masses of black folks across America who will vote on Super Tuesday. Let&#039;s see if South Carolina was a fluke?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This may be the last time in for many black baby boomers, and those who fought the great civil rights fights lifetime, that they will have an opportunity to ever vote for a viable black presidential candidate. At least Caroline Kennedy and others can see the moment, it&#039;s too bad there are a few blacks of middle class status who can&#039;t.</description>

		<description>FLH...for Obama?  Consider my head exploded.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for yesterday, it was amazing.  I&#039;m not impressed by Oprah or even get two craps as to what she has to say, but she was on fire yesterday.  When she got to the part about people calling her a traitor to her gender, everyone was on their feet.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only reason I went yesterday was Michelle Obama.  I remember reading here about her.  I&#039;ve heard bits and pieces of interviews and speeches and I&#039;m totally in love with that woman.  I think she&#039;ll be the best First Lady we&#039;ve ever had.  So I had to see her speak.  Now I join the ranks of other bloggers who say, &quot;Now I see why they call her the Closer.&quot;  And join the ranks of women who&#039;ve said, &quot;I have to vote for him, because any man smart enough to marry her obviously makes good choices.&quot;  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Needless to say, I blogged and photographed yesterday.  I still couldn&#039;t believe they brought out Maria Shriver.  That just blew my mind.</description>

		<description>Update: The Hillary Clinton campaign is now in the process of pushing deceptive &quot;push-polls&quot; in California and possibly in other states.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/02/breaking-news-p.html&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yet more BS coming out of the campaign of Hillary KKKlinton and the KKKlintons in general.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let&#039;s see, up to now, the KKKlintons have engaged: voter suppression (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada), false directions given to voters, attempts to rig and hack voting machines in South Carolina, push-polling and of course, a persistent campaign of race-baiting against Obama.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m telling you, if Hillary gets nominated after basically outdoing Strom Thurmond in the department of utter despicability, there&#039;s no way that I or any other African-American would vote for her.  If any AA were to still support her, we might as well just strap the chains back on ourselves and bow to the Massa at the plantation, cuz we&#039;d be making ourselves slaves again.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cuz if the KKKlintons were to get a pass for this horrendous tactics, then it means that any Black or Latino candidate in the future would get hit by the same-- open season on minority candidates, courtesy of the Clintons.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If Hillary&#039;s on the ticket-- and no, I don&#039;t care if she were to pick Obama for the #2 spot, after all nuthin&#039; like the massa&#039;s wife having a nice black face on the ticket in subordinate position-- then we&#039;re not voting for her.  Ever.  We&#039;re staying home, or we&#039;re voting for a third-party like Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader, or we&#039;re writing in a name.  Or, we&#039;re voting for John McCain-- a lot of people are.  In fact, if Hillary&#039;s on the Democratic ticket, this would probably be the first election since the 1920&#039;s when a Republican gets more of the Black vote than a Democrat.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve decided to vote for Barack Obama for a number of very strenuously considered reasons:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1) If I don&#039;t vote for Obama, then the forces of white male supremacy may convince the Clintons to put Edwards on the ticket instead of Obama, even though the public has expressed ten times more desire to have Obama in the Oval Office government than Edwards.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Edwards said, &quot;It&#039;s amazing being the white man . . . because I can go anywhere in America and compete . . . &quot;  Well, I reject that kind of thinking and I don&#039;t want that kind of thinking to determine who the president is or who the vice president is.  That thinking is a perfect example of the white male supremacy paradigm.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have to vote for Obama to show support for him in his struggle against the white male supremacy paradigm, and to make sure that if he doesn&#039;t win the presidency he will get the consideration he deserves for the vice presidency.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2) A vote for Hillary is a vote for color-aroused campaigns against Black elected officials who seek higher office.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve decided to vote for Barack Obama for a number of very strenuously considered reasons:</p>
<p>1) If I don&#8217;t vote for Obama, then the forces of white male supremacy may convince the Clintons to put Edwards on the ticket instead of Obama, even though the public has expressed ten times more desire to have Obama in the Oval Office government than Edwards.  </p>
<p>Edwards said, &#8220;It&#8217;s amazing being the white man . . . because I can go anywhere in America and compete . . . &#8221;  Well, I reject that kind of thinking and I don&#8217;t want that kind of thinking to determine who the president is or who the vice president is.  That thinking is a perfect example of the white male supremacy paradigm.</p>
<p>I have to vote for Obama to show support for him in his struggle against the white male supremacy paradigm, and to make sure that if he doesn&#8217;t win the presidency he will get the consideration he deserves for the vice presidency.</p>
<p>2) A vote for Hillary is a vote for color-aroused campaigns against Black elected officials who seek higher office. As much as I respect Bill and Hill, they must not be rewarded for appealing to color-aroused stereotypes in the efforts to win the nomination.</p>
<p>If Bill and Hillary win then the nation will conclude that color-aroused appeals still work against Blacks in elections.  If they lose, then people will say that color-aroused appeals are dead, which might become a self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p>3) I know that the Clintons could do a good job in many ways, but Obama might do a much better job in ways that we don&#8217;t even suspect yet.  Based on his history and the Clinton&#8217;s history, Barack would be less likely to put more Blacks in jail in an attempt to appeal to white color-antagonistic voters.</p>
<p>In general, Barack Obama&#8217;s election might do more to put color-aroused thinking and behavior to bed than would the nomination of a hundred Black Clinton appointees in a Clinton Administration.</p>
<p>The Black Clinton appointees and would-be who know the Clintons the best are supporting Obama, like Deval Patrick Lani Guenier.</p>
<p>4) If Clinton cannot win the election without color-aroused appeals (and she seems to think she can&#8217;t) then she doesn&#8217;t deserve to win at all.<b><a HREF="http://francislholland.blogspot.com/2008/02/hillary-supporter-calls-obama-token.html" REL="nofollow">Billary &amp; Co&#8217;s Color-Aroused Stereotyping Angers and Alienates Democrats</a></b></p>
