Reparations Means Sifting through the BS

Ok, I really have to ask Black Clinton supporters when is enough, enough.

In a USA Today interview today (Thursday), Hillary says:

I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on...Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.


So, here is the fundamental question: if hard-working Americans are White Americans, is she saying that Black Americans are not hard-working...are (as the old stereotype goes) lazy? Hmmm....

Reparations means sifting through the BS. And, there is not much more to say. Yet while Hillary Clinton calls Blacks lazy, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones is cheezing for the camera in support of Hillary. Hillary insults the race, but Bob Johnson wants to play games of name calling...saying that this (by her standards) lazy American, is only in this position because of his race! Mayor Nutter, despite your hard work to become Mayor of Philly - you sir, are lazy. But, I assume all of them will stand by for their own self-interest.

I can hear Hillary now: we gave these niggers so much, and this is how they repay us! Can't you hear it?

Reparations means sifting through the BS. And, this is ridiculous...I do not even need to speak about it too much. When will the DNC denounce these comments? When will the Congressional Black Caucus defend our integrity? Where is the NAACP, Rainbow/Push, National Action Network, the Urban League, et al?

We need to open our eyes. They speak of colorblind societies, and then we hear this mess. When things get thick, you see where they stand. That is why we must come together. This is our time to break free from the psychology of inferiority and the deference to White society. Now we must live free to stand independently. Find your nearest Black Leader...your nearest Black Clinton superdelegate...demand that they stand for the community.

Come and Get Your Reparations!
