Am I hearing this right? Is America listening to this? What
would you call the comment, and I quote, "The House "has been
run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about,"
from the nationally televised mouth of Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Also, comments by New Orleans Mayor, Ray Nagin, "This city will
be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it
to be. .... This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
And not only nationally televised, but throughout the world.
Everyone knows what Sen. Clinton is talking about! She is
inferring Democratic "Slaves" to the Republican as "Master
Plantation Owners", I am trying to be civil in the annotation
with refrain from the more blatantly ugly inference realized.
Are these the ideas that go through her mind? Does she have a
deep-seeded racially bias negativity that allows for these ugly
formations? The context may not seem to many as racially
derrogative but in fact, it is. Many of us fight against the use
of the term she is inferring and yet many of you do not realize
that is exactly what she is saying, yet in not with the vulgar
terminology. Not only that but she turned a day of honor for a
great American, Martin Luther King, Jr., into her own Political
spotlight. Odd how she selected this day to present her speech
to the world. Is this the type of President we want for our
Nation?
Mayor Nagin is also doing his share of dividing the people of
his city as well as America. He is a city leader, his job is to
help heal division among the people, not ignite it. How is this
honoring a man that gave his life to bring all of America
together as one?
When Political leaders begin forging wedges of discrimination
with derrogatory remarks of this magnitude, it begins to break
open conflicts in the healing process. Although the intent was
political for Sen. Clinton, it bleds through to our American
family creating division.
Many in America have fought hard against the racial conflicts
within our own country. Martin Luther King, Jr., give him the
respect he deserves for the life he gave. Give him what he
fought for, let him rest in peace knowing he made a difference.
Underneath our skin we are all the same, there is no race or
color.
