Geraldine Ferraro defended her controversial comment that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign was successful because he was black, telling an interviewer Tuesday that she was being attacked because she was white. "Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says, 'Let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world,' you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," she told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, California. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

[CGP]

This woman doesn't take crap. I like it.

"They're attacking me because I'm white - how's that?!"

[B positive]

FERRARO should not be shunned by Hillary's campaign for her truthful comments.

As for being someone being fired... one of FLUFF's senior advisors accused Hillary of involvement in Benazir Bhutto's assassination... Hillary's campaign called for that "senior adviser" to be fired and FLUFF did NOTHING... the person is still on his staff ! This FLUFF adviser comment is horrible and deserves more attention in the press.

[SD]

good for her!

A defiant Ferraro dismissed the criticism in an interview with Fox News.

"I have to tell you that what I find is offensive is that everytime somebody says something about the campaign, you're accused of being racist."

she told fox where to jump off. :D

[Joe from WI]

Hillary is correct not to be drawn into the remarks. But everyone knows BO has support of AA voters. She cannot be seen as the one show says this, even though is a fact.

And i applaud Ferraro for making the remarks. She's not racist, she's just stating why BO has OVERWHELMING support from AA. He is not running against KKK people, you know. He's riding high on AA voters against an opponent (Hillary, and with Bill) who had done alot for the AA community; contriubuted to the katrina disaster relief efforts; paid due respect to the AA community (attending State of Black Union and the debate earlier last month etc)..

[CGP]

WHAT HAS BARACK OBAMA DONE FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY?

DO I HEAR THE WORDS "NOTHING, NADA"??

HE HAS USED THEM TO SCORE VOTES.

AND HE DOESN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THE INJUSTICES & INEQUALITIES EXPERIENCED BY AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE...:mad:

[G4Hillary]

I am happy to hear that Geraldine won't let slim shady racist Obama to go around fooling everyone with his race card.

[skc1976]

I am going to make this comment and I hope that it's taken in the right way. I mean no offense to anyone and I also am not including everyone in this.

One thing I've noticed in talking with African-American voters is that most of them are voting for him first and foremost because of his color. I remember asking one person to name his stance on Iraq (since that was the point they brought up) and their reply was, "it's like Hillary's." I asked this person why not vote for Hillary and this person said that "she isn't one of our own." I asked another person why they were voting for Obama and they commented "if Bill and Hillary want to turn their backs on our community, we can turn our backs on them." I tried to reason with this person and it did no good. It goes back to what the media presented out of South Carolina, coupled with the fact that CNN had the debate with Hillary and John on the ends and putting Barack in the middle so it looked like he was being ganged up on.

I will say that I know a couple African-Americans that are voting for Hillary. I posed the same question to them of why they were voting for her and both of them shot back with her stances. I asked them if race was an issue and one friend replied back, "if it was, I wouldn't have white friends too."

Again, I'm not meaning to insult anyone. I'm also not trying to generalize. I'm just speaking from my experiences. But it does bother me that people are voting for him and falling for the "bros before hoes" mentality, which DISGUSTS me! And it disturbs me that the media has ruined a Presidency that did so much for African-Americans as Bill Clinton's did.

So, in regards to Geraldine Ferraro, I want to say I agree 100% with her statement and her defense. For me, it's not a race issue. For me it's about THE ISSUES! And if they want to turn it into a race war, I hope that it backfires on them and they are exposed for the dividers they are trying to be!

[floorrunner]

if Mondale and Geraldine had succeeded in 1984, She probably would have been president somewhere down the line.

[lanney]

Some AA gave me more detailed logic, first they want to see Black President in White House. This will be sweet revenge for slavery. I asked them but he is not a product of slavery. He is son of Kenyan College student and white mother. His family never has been slave. With your logic his white families are your oppressor. Why you think he is any connection with you. Then they responded he is black. I told them human origin is from ape and from Africa, so all human are linked so why him? If you think white did wrong so now you want to repeat same, why?. After that they went blank. And they don't like me any more.
By the way I am not white, I am asian. :)

[SantaCruzen]

I am utube stacking my Race Cards:

And they don't like me any more.

You know, I can relate to this. I've actually lost a few friends due to my outspoken political views in favor of Hillary and against Obama. But when it comes down to it, if they cannot respect my vote and campaigning on logic and intelligence, then they are really more of the drones out there. And honestly, sometimes life is better off without driftwood! :D

[JJ4Hillary]

You know, i'm black, but i agree 100% with her. She is so right!. I'm tired of fighting with black people about supporting hillary.

I predict last month that this race is going turn into a white and black thing. We are just starting.:o Odrama camp is looking for any ways to attack hillary. But it wont work. Once republicians get a hold of this, They will inform all there members to vote for hillary, because they don't want to face the racist stuff with odrama.:(

[SantaCruzen]

I have heard some very intelligent statements from people identify as "black". I hate those old terms which actually divide us all. I have a friend from Africa, he told me that he cannot speak to other African Americans because they argue with him about African history. Unfortunately, they do not know their heritage. Yet neither do other americans who have been on this continent for more than three generations. I am second generation from the philippines. My grandfather came from a tribal heritage and I was raised inside of his tribe that he brought to america. He came with his cousins as migrant farm workers in the twenties. They were called Monkey Men by the California State Senators who wanted to illegalize marriage between the Monkey Men and the Hispanic Women. I used to run up to elderly black men at the grocery store and say, "Grandpa, grandpa!" That was in the sixties.

I grew up in a multiracial area of the San Francisco Bay Area--lots of race wars in my childhood but a lot of growth amongst people growing up with other cultures around themselves. I went to ARMY BASIC in North Carolina, met a lot of kids from the southern states. They were not educated and they were underprivledged. Like Martin Luther King, Jr. noted in his books, the injustice of racism is rooted in poverty.

When I traveled to the Philippines with my grandparents at the age of 13, the first thing I noticed and it shocked me so much I could not eat for a few days, people living in card board boxes as far as the eye could see. People living like cats and dogs in the streets and I also realized that food also grows on trees every where there was a piece of land. At that time, people could at least find some food. The last time I went, the aborigines had lost their mountain lands to weather conditions (volcano or hurricane). There was no relief program: they begged in the streets.

There are horrendous realities going on in the world. We do need leadership in this country. We have had the best of many things here and we have been losing our resources on many levels from our souls to our lands. We need to break free from the fear and people who are afraid of us being free. That is why I feel Hillary is the right choice. I am glad that there are some people in this world who are seeing beyond racism.

[emmyCA]

She is fighter like Hillary. She spoke the true fact. There is no reason that she should resign...I heard she and Hillary are long best friends, but she desn't offically work for Hillary's campaign.

[RAFREE]

If Obama really, really cares so much about struggling people of ANY race then why oh why did he not get down off his high horse and go see about that poor community where a woman of color was so brutally raped!! Those women of Dunbar village appealed to him, many many times he did he go there or mention them or give them a high profile so they could get some HELP?? NO! I will never forgive some of the leaders those women went to, then when they did finally get an answer Rev. Sharpton promised them he would come there and spend the night and back tracked on them because he's too busy backing Obama!!

I know this much, poor people, women who are single mothers, people who are struggling to provide a better life for their children MATTER to Hillary Clinton. She hasn't changed one bit from all the work she's stuck to all these years. I feel so bad because I feel Obama is just using alot of African American voters who are pinning their hopes and dreams on him and since he hasn't got the long term experience he will NOT be ABLE to deliver for them the way Hillary will.

We just cannot let this man win. He's not what this party stands for and he's not good for ANYONE of ANY race or gender or age or class. I wish he would stop being so selfish and really do something for people. He could have brought this party together WITH Hillary but, oh no. She even tried to reach out and he slapped her back.

I just know a lot of people backing him now are going to wise up. I just hope they do it sooner rather than later. Obama doesn't care about struggling people!! He makes up things and people believe him.

I know this, I first started to follow Hillary's career BECAUSE she stood up to people and stuck to the right thing, for civil rights, for children, for people who need the most help. It's her time and we just HAVE to keep working for her so she can be there for all of US in the White House.

Obama is tearing this party from one side down the other in every way. We can and we will stop him make HER the nominee!

Hahahaha....tell it like it is! It's so about race. Hell, he's not even truly black and as far as I know, he hasn't lifted up a finger for black people.

I'd much rather vote for Morgan Freeman or Samuel L Jackson.

I LOVE the passion and conviction of your post! It's amazing and really telling of the kind of person that Obama is.

[justme819]

Hillary can`t say these things or even agree with them in public :( ...to do so would mean getting the kind of negative treatment which Ferraro`s presently getting... :mad:

Regardless, Ferraro`s absolutely correct!...if a white guy, or better yet, Hillary was friends with a known terrorist...who`s been bombing key US sites since 1970 and wishes he could bomb more :eek: ...if Hillary belonged to a white-centric church...with a white value system...if Hillary had a pastor at her church who she adores as her mentor the past 20 yrs...a pastor and a church which gave David Duke a lifetime achievement award...and if she practically had to be forced by her opp. to reject Duke`s endorsement...well, let`s just say that just about any candidate, including Hillary, would`ve been vehemently pressured to drop out of the race a long time ago... :(

Obama on the other hand...gets a free pass!...and the benefit of ALL the doubts...why?...because he`s the 1st African-American? with a real shot at the Presidency...so, even bring anything up like this about the guy...and Bingo!...just like Ferraro said, you`re falsely accused and made out to be a racist!...

I put a question mark after African-American above because, (and correct me if I`m wrong), Obama`s legally NOT an African-American...and, yet, he claims to be just to get ALL their votes...again, correct me if I`m wrong, but to be legally African-American, one must pass the 1/16 or greater blood-lines test...Obama DOES NOT!!! :eek:

just a few humble observations and opinions... :) :cool:

[EH]

I have read through the entire thread carefully and cannot add anymore than what's been already said. Rush Limbaugh (do I hear boos in the background?:D), as much as we all love him like food poisoning, said something very poignant a few days ago: he said that you can't make one truthful observation about Barack that the "Democrats" (ok, he lumps us in together with the Obamanots, but what do you expect?) will soon start jumping down your throat and crying racism. We all know that Limbaugh is a turd and that all Dems are not alike, but think about it. Geraldine Ferraro, even if at 180 degrees of his political spectrum, is confirming what he said. I was completely heartbroken when Mondale lost the election - it was the first time I voted, and wanted her as vice president more than anything.

Time for me to go and re-post the Obama campaign/OJ Simpson trial piece I wrote for the Hillary Clinton blog.

Race Man by Sean Wilentz
How Barack Obama played the race card and blamed Hillary Clinton.
Post Date Wednesday, February 27, 2008

[no_more_bush]

I don't think this helps the campaign at all, in many peoples minds it will just validate the fact that Hillary gets more negative press.

Theres a ton of negative attention coming Hillary's way: racial issues, experience(Sinbad just came out with a conflicting story about his trip with Hillary), white house documents, taxes, delegate math, and aparentally one Clinton member has switched sides in order to work with the Obama camp.

[G4Hillary]

no more bush,

When they (media, DNC, RNC and Obama) did a hit job on Bill Clinton in South Carolina, most of us were taken by surprise that such a simple and correct assessment would be deceitfully misconstrued into racial politics by those with vested interests.

This time around, we are not going to back down. The media, Obama, DNC and RNC need to get slapped across the face and taught a lesson. Geraldine got that ball rolling.

The winner here is the RNC all the way. DNC and Obama are morons that can't win and are trying to get in our way because we can.

DNC/Obama: "If we can't win we won't let you win."

Sorry to dash the DNC/Obama hope, but the real hope (Hillary) will win.

They don't like Hillary because she's a winner. Well, there is news for them. She's going to win anyways, so either join her or get run over. Choice is theirs.

The NY Giant has woken.

IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES RACE IS NOT A FACTOR...HE NEEDS TO STAND UP IN FRONT OF AMERICA AND SAY "I DO NOT WANT YOU TO VOTE FOR ME JUST BECAUSE I AM A BLACK MAN...VOTE FOR ME IF YOU BELIEVE I CAN DO THE JOB"...THEN MAYBE I COULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RESPECT FOR HIM!!!!BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN!:mad:

[BooskerD]

I am thrilled that there is one person who will speak the truth and not back down. Black people are voting for Obama simply because he is black, as are a lot of white people. The really amusing thing is that while Obama uses his blackness to resonate with African American voters, he came from a very different place than most of them. His is a place of privilege, not privation.

[blueskygal]

if you look at how Hillary did in MS where she won it was by HUGE margins - you can't supress the truth forever. Fair is fair and peolple are tired of being accused of being racist at every turn. What a hypocrite BO is.

[tcbwriter]

First off, I say good on ya Geraldine!! It does seem that the Obama campaign - particularly Michelle & Barack - bring up the fact that he is African American on a regular basis. They keep talking about what a miracle it is that he has come so far and that nobody thought they would be here a year ago, etc. Obviously their point is that he is black.

But when anybody who isn't a supporter or who is linked to Hillary in any way even insinuates that he is an African American you would have thought they were members of the KKK. Yet he, and members of the media, make sexist comments all the time. Not a peep from anybody. If Hillary or a supporter mentions it, they are accused of "whining" or of being "silly".:rolleyes:

On the other hand, I can't blame African Americans one bit for wanting to see one of their own finally put in a position of power. It's long overdue. So is the election of a woman to President of the U.S. We're one of a very few nations who has never had a female leader, yet we fashion ourselves as such forward-thinking people who stand for freedom and equality (what a laugh!). :eek:

Our problem is that women don't stand up for each other the way ethnic groups stand together. I've been saying it since the 70s - we women are our own worst enemies. Women have been discriminated against since the beginning of time - particularly in this country. Hell, we didn't get the right to vote until 60 years after black men were "granted" the right to vote. And the only reason that happened is that women finally stood and fought together for that right. Too many women today take that for granted and have no appreciation for how hard their mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers fought. Those same women are the ones who refer to Hillary as "that bitch", among other things. :mad:

So, again, congratulate the African American community for sticking together. Our fellow women who are so staunchly opposed to Hillary are the ones who deserve our disdain.

[hillary1]

if the aa's of america wish to vote for a man of their own color, there is nothing wrong with that, however, when he does not deliver for you, when you find out his contacts with the likes of farrekham, ayers, his church which teaches marxist theology, there will be no one to blame but yourselves for not educating yourselves on the issues rather than on the color

do not vote please for his color, but vote because he is the person you think, feel will do the most to help you in your needs, and from what i have heard in asking aa's why they are voting for mr.obama, they simply tell me, "because he is black"

there is no logic in that, please believe hillary clinton has helped the black communities for over 35 years, and yet some may believe, "what has she done for me lately", well, there are many who fought her, now is her chance, her opportunity to do well, vote hillary clinton for president

"you cannot become a little bit pregnant"

[Sherry]

She makes me so proud to be a woman. I am so glad she is not backing down. If he can't take these love taps from the democratic party what good can he do for America? To discuss race is not negative campaigning. We need to address this issue. Hillary, Geraldine and countless other Americans have been fighting for equality for so long they probably can't remember when they were not fighting for it. He does not stand for nothing and will fall for anything.

[joeysky18]

She is fighter like Hillary. She spoke the true fact. There is no reason that she should resign...I heard she and Hillary are long best friends, but she desn't offically work for Hillary's campaign.

that's why Ferraro is in a better position to address this issue than Hillary.

Karl Rove said Obama's respond on the VP ticket was the right answer, but he shouldn't be the one to answer it. It make Hillary looks like a uniter, and Obama came out looking a little selfish. His surrogate should have made that statement.

The same situation applies here. Ferraro can go all out in this crusade. But Hillary shouldn't get involve and that's exactly what the campaign did. Great Move.!

[Fleur]

Kudos to Geraldine Ferraro for her courage! It is about time someone brought up the fact that any time any criticism is directed at Obama it gets spun as a racial slur. I am still furious about how shamelessly the media and Obama's camp misinterpreted Bill Clinton's comments in South Carolina, when he used the words "fairy tale" to refer to one thing and it was interpreted as something else entirely. I remember watching Hillary on "Face the Nation", trying to explain to Tim Russert that Bill was referring to the notion that Mr. Obama had always consistently opposed the Iraq war and most certainly NOT to the idea of a black presidential candidate being successful. Tim Russert was obviously not listening and just kept bringing up examples of those who were offended by the comment. It made me so mad that I went online and donated to Hillary's campaign in protest.

[tommy]

How can you make changes when you can't even accept a freedom of speech? I don't even know why Obama was on my list before. But I remember the media stating how people are just getting to know Obama in the beginning of the race, and how likeable he is. Yes I'm starting to see more into the guy right now...to the point that I won't vote for him if Hillary doesn't make it! His true image is revealing.

We need more people like Ferraro. I wonder if Al Sharpton has touch this subject yet.

[LetsHelpAmerica]

FERRARO should not be shunned by Hillary's campaign for her truthful comments.

As for being someone being fired... one of FLUFF's senior advisors accused Hillary of involvement in Benazir Bhutto's assassination... Hillary's campaign called for that "senior adviser" to be fired and FLUFF did NOTHING... the person is still on his staff ! This FLUFF adviser comment is horrible and deserves more attention in the press.

I think we should write in support of Ferraro. However, I certainly do understand Hillary trying to tame down the comments.......otherwise the media will be on her like hornets. BUT, NEVER should Ferraro be asked to leave!!

[G4Hillary]

tommy,

Sharpton is already into this election. He flew down to Florida to make sure Hillary was denied her delegates from Florida. RezkObama is trying to hide him but that guy is quite vocal. He's looking forward to being the Secretary of the Treasury in an RezkObama presidency.

[tommy]

Oh I didn't follow too much on Sharpton as I really dislike that guy to an extreme. But he will no do any good for Obama. :cool:

[mjno7777]

We need to flood the internet and air waves with emphasizing the sexism part of Ferraro fiasco. I think OBAMA is alienating everyone in the party.

Why are YOU not covering ALL OF HER COMMENTS???
I am so glad Geraldine Ferraro is sticking to her comments as NOT being racist!!!! Hillary should ask her to be VP. Why can someone hold up a sign at a CLINTON RALLY STATING "IRON MY SHIRTS?" THE MEDIA IS IGNORING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of her comments that a 3 year junior senator (who campaigned for 2 1/2 years for president) that was an asian, black, hispanic, or white woman would never be able to get as far as OBAMA did.

[mjoynaples]

IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES RACE IS NOT A FACTOR...HE NEEDS TO STAND UP IN FRONT OF AMERICA AND SAY "I DO NOT WANT YOU TO VOTE FOR ME JUST BECAUSE I AM A BLACK MAN...VOTE FOR ME IF YOU BELIEVE I CAN DO THE JOB"...THEN MAYBE I COULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RESPECT FOR HIM!!!!BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN!:mad:

:) AND do it without OPRAH! because I hear she is coming out again next!

[Dendy]

Shouldn’t people be tired of Obama wining all the time?
What kind of politics is this? Oh, I forgot “the politics of hope”…
From his middle name to his turban outfit in Kenya to repeatedly being called a racist it’s just unbelievable!!!
We shouldn’t point fingers like that, but instead use the situation to really have a conversation.
One should only take the train from Manhattan to Brooklyn Stuyvesant to know that racism really goes both ways, sexism is everywhere and we are not fixing anything by using the situation for political gains.
It’s disgusting.

[Optixmom]

:) AND do it without OPRAH! because I hear she is coming out again next!

Fantastic! She was such a big help in California and Massachusetts! ;)

Maybe she will have a "Favorite Things" Rally! We look under our chairs and find a CD of Jay Z's "99 Problems"...hot diggity!

[emmyCA]

MSNBC headline: Obama says that Ferraro is dividng Democrats. Is
he so stupid that people can't see the poll yesterday that blacks are
voting for him and whites for Hillary. How does blacks get away with
always screaming racism. Obama is going to single-handedly tear the
Democratic party to bits. I think by Mississippi's results that some
people might be waking up to what is going on and then Hillary will
be named the one who destroyed the party rather than Obama. The
white people AND Hillary will take the blame. The blacks will be set
back decades for what is going on by the blacks. It is going to get
a whole lot worse in the future, a whole lot worse.

How long does Hillary have to get her name on the ballots as an
independent? Does anyone know.

[josephm]

I think this whole "race" (i.e. racism) is so unfair especially to the Clintons and their supporters.

Things are taken out of context and out of proportion for far too long started in January against the Clintons. People can't talk about anything any more. To me, this itself is racism. Racism against whites and anybody who aren't black. Whites are against white who mentioned facts. Blacks are against white who mention the result of the polls. Facts become FEAR and GOSSIPS that can only be discussed behind close door. It is rather outrageous. What is wrong with our country and people.

I think what happened to Ferraro is completely unfair. What happenned to Bill Clinton in South Colorina is unfair. I think people are so unhappy with the current state of our country, so they are just looking for innocent people to dump on to feel better. It is shameful and aweful.

[skc1976]

I'd give ANYTHING for Hillary to run as an Independent IF she's not the nominee. It would serve the DNC right!

[indthinker]

Hi everyone. I'm glad to see there are others here who think like me. I agree with everything Ferraro said, especially back in 88 when she said "If Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race." I wish she had said the same about Obama because we all know it's true.

I'm grateful to Bill for making the "Jesse Jackson" comment because after that, blacks switched from Hillary to Obama. We don't need them.

I'm also glad Hillary isn't afraid to be seen with people like me. She has nothing to be ashamed of:
