One Time Obama Surrogate on Race, Politics, and Me Too#
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | December 27, 2017 | Maudlyne Ihejirka

Whitfield was among the Hollywood personalities selected as surrogates by Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. She crisscrossed the country to get out the African-American vote, and on Nov. 4, 2008, she and other surrogates gathered and held their breath.

The Baton Rouge native, who describes herself as a “political being,” believes Trump’s presidency feeds racial strife, with the country facing a “resurgence of racism and white supremacy and tribalism.”

“The election of Obama undermined so deeply the white power structure of our country that was so terrified of losing power that any alternative was better than women gaining ground, than black people or Latinos gaining ground,” Whitfield said.

“At the end of the day, there’s so much inequality in the system. … It’s why I always go out and work to help people understand the power of their vote,” she added.

Surveying the chaotic political and social landscape, Whitfield remains optimistic.

“This is a huge spiritual dilemma for our country that it has gotten to this level of vitriol and slime and scum and sludge,” she says.

A "D" obscurity/celebrity, supporter of Obama and colleague of Oprah, unloads on everyone else. Condemning hatred by spewing hatred on those who do not support her politics.

Last time I checked the racial animosity in this country greatly accelerated the day the Muslim took office and went on his/her/it’s Apology Tour for American Independence and Exceptionalism.

Another ignorant, lost, hateful black woman with a mouth and a microphone. This one’s suffering in Hollywood with big bucks. I’ve concluded that after lawyers, black women are the next worst group in America.

Yup. Notice how that “Unity” slogan disappeared after Nov 2008

The real racism was voting, swooning and defending the Worst In History solely because of his race.

The fact that she boasts about appearing in the dull 1983 comedy “Doctor Detroit” speaks volumes about her low rent career. Here is a description of the movie:

A teacher at a small college is conned into pimping four prostitutes and protecting the women from a female mob boss called “Mom.”

Ugh.

They’re never wrong. Always victims, never the responsibles. Never a mention of crime, drugs, illegitimacy, crossing to the other side of the street, ruining neighborhoods, schools and business districts.

Racial tokenism and diversity excuses for racism against Whites and Asians, yet widening gaps in workplace and education performance. Excuses, excuses, excuses

Meanwhile the culture rots from the inside out. .but it’s always Whiteys fault

>>that any alternative was better than women gaining ground

We voted for Sarah Palin in the hopes that McCain would die in the first year of his presidency. Not because of her vagina, but because she was Trump in that election.

She is typical proggie — transferring/projecting upon those she disagrees with that which she despises in herself. She knows full well she’s gotten much she hasn’t deserved, and is stiriving on a poor path to find real self-esteem. She won’t, not until she has a real epiphany on some truths.

No one, but absolutely NO ONE in the history of American politics has fed , promoted and emphasized racial strife and tribalism as well and effectively as that infamous, what'shisname fake American-African arrogant political Elmer Gantry...

Up until 2007-2012 I was not in any way racist.

He converted me.

SEIU and its funding plus much of Acorn is based in Louisiana.
Part of the original 2005 Obama Machine.

How can she be a celebrity if no one’s ever heard of her?

In any case, intelligent people do not rely upon Hollyweird celebutards to form political opinions.

She’s a legend in her own mind. Additionally, she is a friend of Omarossa. Nuff said.
