Don't Be Mean, Geraldine

Politics & Current Events

Geraldine Ferraro recently, on Obama:

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

Geraldine Ferraro, defending her comments:

Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

Geraldine Ferraro in 1988, on the Presidential race:

And former representative Geraldine A. Ferraro (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that because of his "radical" views, "if Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race."

Wow, the Black Man has been keeping her down for twenty years.

    I know that I'm attacking her because she's old as shit.

    That reply narrowly edged out "the only reason anyone gives a shit about Hillary is because she's a chick. If she were a dude everyone would be complaining about another white dude".

    At least she's gotten past gender politics. And:

    if Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn’t be in the race.

    It all depends on what the meaning of "race" is.
