In Defense of Geraldine Ferraro

No other demographic group is breaking as strongly as African Americans are breaking for Obama. They almost unanimously support him.

In exit polls, many African American Obama supporters claim that race is a major factor in their decision of who to vote for. That is racism, pure and simple.

If a white person voted for Hillary because she is white, it would be racism. So, why can’t a racially motivated supporter of Obama be referred to as racist?

If, over 90% of African Americans are voting for Obama based largely on race, and there is no other appreciable racial motivation among Democratic voters, can Obama not be seen to have derived benefit from his skin colour?

Just because a fact offends the fragile politically correct sensibilities of some people, does not mean it is not a fact.

Obama’s skin colour is an asset in the Democratic primaries. Period. Geraldine Ferraro put her neck in a noose because SOMEONE just had to say it. This campaign cannot run its course without this fact being injected into the public discourse.

Racism will gain Barack Obama the Democratic nomination.

Obama is carrying states like South Carolina and Alabama because a majority of Democratic voters in those states are black. This is a fact.

Unfortunately for Democrats who have been deluded by a media that seems to be enthralled with Obama, skin colour which can be an asset when voting is restricted to Democrats, is not an asset when you have to swing a few fence riding Republicans your way in order to elect a President.

When Republicans vote, you can bet skin colour will be an issue, just not in the way it is when black Democrats vote.

Correct me if I am wrong.
