Her comments were stupid, but not racist, and were not false either. A white man with identical histories as Barack Obama would NEVER be considered for President.
Being part-black is one of the major reasons for supporting Barack Obama.
The idea that it is racist to say that someone is achieving because they are black is absurd. Racist would be to say he’s NOT qualified because he is black. Ferraro is saying that his only qualification seems to be BECAUSE he is black.
That Obama campaign sure gets furious a lot. Wonder when we’ll start seeing articles about how hot-headed they are. Or how much of a whiner he seems to be.
Do we really want a President who seems to spend all his time complaining about everything people say about him “Mommy, he’s calling me black again, make him stop”.
They are used to the pampered prince treatment and don't seem to handle any other than that very well.
