Many black people once regarded Bill Clinton as a hero. But the former President threw away his 'Black Pass' popping off at the mouth in South Carolina comparing Barack Obama's win to Jesse Jackson's.
And Hillary Clinton's first foray into color tinged political knuckleball came when she appeared to diminish Dr. King's impact on Civil Rights legislation. By her campaign's end, Clinton was extolling the electoral potency of "hardworking white" Americans.
Now for the record, I do not believe the Clinton's are racists at all. It's more cynical than that. They were ruthless in courting the white vote and willing to say things and allow things to be said that caused real hurt to many of their formerly "ride or die" African American supporters. The Clinton's were too quick to forget that during the darkest daze of his presidency, Bill Clinton called out for help and black preachers answered; black preachers including Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
But on Saturday, Hillary Clinton conceded and did the right thing. She delivered a rousing speech declaring her intention to "work her heart out" for Barack Obama and unequivocally encouraged her supporters to do the same. So at least that means no more Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D)-OH hyper-enthusiastically pushing Hillary's superiority to Barack Obama to any reporter who'll listen.
So my question is, will blacks and the Clinton's just kiss and make-up? Or is this divorce court?


1. I have to SEE IT in order to BELEIVE IT! On Saturday, Hillary did what she was suppose to do but, I could see in her EXPRESSIONS that it was HARD
to say what she said about OBAMA and working really hard to UNITE the PARTY to work together? It seemed that she was UN EASY and it looked like she had a FORCED SMILE? That's my opinion.
Yes, there has been some BAD BLOOD between the two parties but, it's going to take some time to HEAL the DEMOCRATIC PARTY and all the Clinton and Obama Supporters as well. It can be done but, it's going to take WORK!
