But you know good and well that white folks, when the chips are down, are going to get behind their own.<BR/><BR/>It's happened already. When white folks saw that Obama could win Iowa they got scared. Now most white Dems are lining up squarely behind Hillary (why they all hate John Edwards, I don't know but they do) and McCain on the Republican side.<BR/><BR/>Black folks need to vote for Obama. In droves. We need to stop the madness, quit listening to white folks and VOTE THIS BROTHA IN!ThatDeborahGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235918238595525061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408185959146294592.post-14549917148268976512008-01-16T19:17:00.000-05:002008-01-16T19:17:00.000-05:00Vitimhood is real, but I think too often we dismis...Vitimhood is real, but I think too often we dismiss people with valid concerns and stories as victims.

Because from day one, black people in this country have been told that we can't accomplish anything major without a white person being involved, and many of us believe it now. <BR/><BR/>For the record, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are two different people, and Bill wasn't flawless himself. So don't believe the hype that by voting for another Clinton your life will some how become much better. It's a different time with different problems. And I remember the 90s, it was certainly better than this decade but it was by no means utopia.Jermelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013701540188062346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408185959146294592.post-34988545215246483242008-01-07T14:00:00.000-05:002008-01-07T14:00:00.000-05:00it's called the "cult of victimology"it's called the "cult of victimology"Rellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793373683162560912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408185959146294592.post-40396489418809550862008-01-06T21:18:00.000-05:002008-01-06T21:18:00.000-05:00Its crazy...

Great post, and as a black man, Id rather have the audacious hope of having President Obama than the perpetual fear of being ruled by President Clinton!! Plus, Im a Marine, so every time that time of the month rolls around, I'd be going on deployment! Just say NO to dat HOE! (No offense to non-Hillary Clinton females)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
