Hillaryzilla

Well, we played the race card and it didn’t go over so well. African-Americans have become so sensitive to everything. There’s no pleasing them.

Attributing civil rights success to President Johnson didn’t go over so well. You’d have thought I was trying to drag Martin Luther King’s memory by a chain on the back of a pickup truck in Alabama. At midnight.

In all my years of politics I don’t think I have ever heard so many people of color in full-on squawk mode about a simple history lesson. I keep wanting to say, “Look it up, people. Lyndon Baines Johnson saved your black asses. Show a little respect for history.”

I would say it but doing so probably would bring down the wrath of a black god on my campaign and I just don’t need the grief right now.  For the moment I just smile and tell everyone to support my campaign and I’ll have more to say during the debates this week.

Black people are just not gifted enough to understand the nuances of politics. Football, basketball, track, yes. But politics? Not so much.

All this wrangling over ‘he said, she said’ and the race card has the Republicans salivating over our divide. Fortunately, there are still half a dozen old white men running neck and neck in the Republican race and they show their disregard for blacks just by being Republicans, so it’s not as if black Democrats have a better choice than a well educated, middle-aged white woman.
