Ferraro and Clinton's Racism Problem

I am very disapointed in Geraldine Ferraro. No, despite her protestations, what she said is racist. If John Edwards had complained that Hillary Clinton was 'lucky she was a woman because she would not have gotten so far if she wasn't' all kinds of hell would have broken out. The bitterness and envy of Clinton's old school Feminist supporters when it comes to Obama has been very sad to watch. The message is clear though that they despise him for being black and therefore not dismissable. He undercuts Clinton's own specialness as the first viable woman presidential candidate.

That the Clinton campaign has slunk to the racist well time and again to fight Obama should be argument enough against her candidacy. I suppose she and her supporters see it as an end that justifies the means. I would guess that they think that they must remove an undeserving male so that Clinton can become president.
