Race

Geraldine Ferraro clearly doesn’t read this blog.

03.11.08 | Comment?

Because if she did, she’d have seen my post last month about racist white woman feminist Clinton supporters, and may have reconsidered her phrasing in an interview with L.A.’s Daily Breeze:

If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,” she continued. “And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.

Come again? It’s good that upstart black men like Barack can have such wise white women around to reassure them in times of apparent political trouble (such as the day he wins the Miss primary by a twelve point margin): “No really, you’re lucky to be a black man. It’s like your own pity party whenever things get rough, you can just mention how your ancestors were enslaved by my ancestors. And how about your hair! My hair can’t do that…”

I think she takes the coveted #2 spot behind President Bush on my List of People I Want to Punch in the Face
