“if it comes down to the last day and you’re the only superdelegate? : Do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?
Pressure is the name of the game for race hustlers. Spike Lee says “Ooh, Massuh Clinton was good to us, massuh hired a lot of us, massuh was good!” Obviously a reference to the fact that blacks are kept on the plantation by whitey. But what about the racial politics being played by black politicians? Sean Wilentz at TNR told us How Barack Obama played the race card and blamed Hillary Clinton. I told you back in February that “African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened,” By The Obama Campaign . Jesse Jackson Jr., has also been pressuring people:
One black supporter of Clinton, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, said he remains committed to her. “There’s nothing going on right now that would cause me to” change, he said:
He said Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois had recently asked him “if it comes down to the last day and you’re the only superdelegate? : Do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?
It is understandable to me that black people would support a black candidate even if the candidate was not a good one. I think we agree that the time has come to have a black person or a woman as POTUS, but where we split hairs is the choice of the candidate. What I don’t get is how, a black person could try and take away a persons right to make their own choice. Shouldn’t every person have the right to choose?
it’s a perfect illustration of Steyn’s point at the Corner yesterday about how easily the left’s provocateurs adopt the rhetoric of their oppressors to shame their opponents even on the left. The feminist calls Hillary a whore, the racial liberationist suggests Charlie Rangel’s some sort of house slave. Exit quotation: “There’s something rather heartening about this for those of us on the right who’ve been on the receiving end of the left’s vehemence: Apparently there really is nothing personal about it. You can be a chickenhawk warmonger racist homophobe mysogynist Bush shill or a pro-feminist pro-gay pro-black icon of progressive politics for a generation, but, if you cross the likes of Randi Rhodes, you’re all the same and you merit the same four-letter words and KKK slurs. The left’s Discoursometer is like one of those shower units where the slightest nudge turns it to scalding.”
