I have to admit that I’m surprised and deeply hurt and more than a little disappointed that African-American people think Bill and I are invoking the race card in the Democratic presidential election. It just isn’t so.
Doesn’t everyone already know that Barack Obama is the black presidential candidate, or the African-American candidate, or whatever? People know that and say that even though most voters know he’s really only half black.
Every American has to play their part and rise above our differences for true equality to work. White people have just come closer to equality than people of other races. Voters don’t refer to me as ‘woman presidential candidate,’ do they?
Of course not. It would be rude.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it. So, here we are in the field of politics and we see Barack Obama, one of God’s colorful creations, and we just have to tell people about the colors we see, his proud black and white heritage, his family roots in the Muslim religion. God would not be happy if we didn’t tell people.
It’s only fair.
