I posted these a while back:
...asking the obvious question: what part does race play in this presidential election?
When Geraldine Ferraro posed the question - more as a statement - pressure came from all sides to denounce and retract the statement and for her to resign from the Clinton campaign.
Why is this not a legitimate topic of discussion? Some would suggest that it's an attempt to belittle Obama's intellectual accomplishments, and that it also suggests that the accomplishment of achievements such as Obama's are unusual and difficult for the black man in America, thus in and of themselves worthy of recognition.
Okay. Here's a headline: PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES GET BELITTLED
There's no pass just because you're black, a woman, or a senior citizen.
And guess what? The accomplishment of achievements such as Obama's are unusual and difficult for the black man in America, thus in and of themselves worthy of recognition.
So what?
It seems obvious to me that race got Obama where he is just as a sex scandal has raised the latest hot ho to the magazine covers and Entertainment Tonight. So maybe Obama has the stuff to take advantage of his advantage (the one we won't speak of) or maybe not. That's what IS up to him and him alone as an individual.
