Hillary Clinton Victory In Pennsylvania Proves Race More Important Than Gender

Although Senator Hillary Clinton continues to play the game of being the classic white female victim and underdog she still won the Pennsylvania primary last night. Some white feminists will complain about “how hard” they have it even though they have access to white skin privilege, the mythical norm, and the marriage market. The truth is race is the deciding factor in this campaign because race trumps gender. Black feminist bell hooks reminds us “race always matters”.

According to the 2006 USA census the United States has over 221 million white Americans which accounts for 73.9% of the total USA population. Another important fact is the United States also has 23 million white Hispanics add in the white Hispanics the USA white majority is even larger. The reason Barack Obama didn’t win California was due the white Latinos. The United States has a bizarre racial classification system where white Hispanics are not counted with the white majority. What is the difference between a white Cuban, a white Puerto Rican, and a white Italian? For instance, Christina Aguilera, Daisy Fuentes, and Cameron Diaz are examples of white Latinos they have the white skin and the long blonde hair.

The mainstream media are attacking Barack Obama calling him an “Uppity Negro” too distant from the masses. I just laugh because if Barack was too “pro black” the white mainstream media would be screaming he’s “too black” and now they are saying he’s not “black enough”.

When the media discuss Hillary Clinton they focus on “gender” while ignoring race which is perfidious. Race matters in this campaign more then ever and to ignore race is to ignore reality. What about Hillary Clinton? Why is Hillary Clinton’s “whiteness” never challenged? Why does the racist Occident act as though Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a racial background? Hillary Clinton isn’t exactly poor the Clintons are multi millionaires in fact they have over $100 million dollars in the bank. Hillary Clinton also was on the board of Walmart for six years. Hillary Clinton’s class status is never disputed of course since she is aligned with the mythical norm.

Also, Hillary Clinton has more support from the super delegates then Barack Obama. I sincerely hope the African American people are paying close attention the dirty race baiting tactics of the Clintons and consider other political options. Perhaps it is time for African Americans to form their own political party or become independents?

The Democratic Party has no respect for black people this is obvious the racist comments made about Barack Obama by Bill Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Geraldine Ferraro and others proves this. The Democratic Party are stunned that Barack Obama doesn’t know “his place” he’s supposed to sit at the “back of the bus” and not want “leadership roles”. Hillary Clinton also made an offensive statement that she thought Barack Obama could be a good “vice president”. Thank goodness, Barack shut Hillary Clinton down.

The decision for the Democratic party will come at the Denver Convention this summer. Bill Clinton the patriarch and former United States president is an active participant in this campaign. It must be so hard for Hillary Clinton after all, she has a husband that is a former United States president with international star power, money, and deep political ties. Hillary Clinton’s success is based on aligning herself with patriarchy and of course gathering resources from the white heterosexual man.

The truth is Hillary Clinton’s victory last night proves race is more important then gender. Also, Hillary Clinton has benefited from her husband’s powerful political ties she didn’t earn her success the hard way on her own. Hillary Clinton also has access to patriarchy. Hillary Clinton already had eight years in the White House so I don’t see why this lady is viewed as some beacon of light.

Roger Stages Dramatic Comeback In Monte Carlo Advances To Third Round!!!

My goodness, today the supreme world number one Roger Federer should of lost today to Spanish clay court specialist Ruben Ramirez-Hidalgo. I admire Roger’s effort today he was gliding and sliding on the slow red clay refusing to give up. Now of course, some people will say Ruben choked the match but I believe Roger won the match. Ruben let a 5-1 lead slip in the final set he also had a 5-4 30-15 lead he was two points from upsetting the great Roger Federer. Isn’t Roger just wonderful and amazing? Roger refused to give up he fought so hard to get back into the match I commend his fighting spirit.

However, Roger refused to give up he clawed his way back into the match for a dramatic 6-1 3-6 7-6 victory. Roger did make a ton of unforced errors but he also served and volleyed a lot in the match. Ramirez-Hidalgo is a Spanish clay court specialist and on the clay the Spaniards are just dangerous. Hidalgo reached the French Open fourth round before he can play on the slow red clay. Roger should be proud of himself that he was able to squeak through this match but he needs to play better in the next round.
