I finally had to write somewhere that white people trip me the hell on out. Once again some blogger has written a piece asking is Hillary Clinton woman enough, feminine enough, and this shit just galls me. I don't recall whether or not any one questioned the femininity of Shirley Chisholm, the first black congresswoman, or anything else about her for that matter. I was astounded and delighted when she ran, and to this day, I still am. Ms. Chisholm was an amazing woman, well educated sister, way ahead of her time. It has taken these thirty-five years for another woman to run for president, and it seems that all they can do is question the warmth of her personality and whether or not she is feminine enough. Mind you, they didn't ask that strange ass Bush if he was intelligent enough, which we all knew he wasn't, but they have the balls to ask is Hillary feminine enough, is she warm and fuzzy enough, can she bake cookies, tuck us in?
Is this crazy or what? If I find that we have elected Hillary and she's baking cookies, I'm going to call for impeachment. I'm not voting for a president based on his or hers home economic skills, whether they can tuck me in, give me a cookie, and read me a bed time story. I'm voting for the person I think best suited to put an end to the war in Iraq; address the illegals in this country, even though I might not agree with the means; I would like to see reparations put on the table; education and the broken ass no child left behind needs to be addressed; as well as the unemployment rate among blacks and low income whites. I want to know that the person I'm voting for has the ability to bring this country back to the right place, a place where there is no war; where we don't think the terrorists come from Iraq, but know they come from Pakistan and are lead by Osama bin Laden, and that we are going to go after him tooth and nail; that person knows that we created the terrorists in Iraq, there were no wmds, and we are not fighting to keep our precious freedoms as Iraq never posed a threat to us.
We never ask a man is he man enough, we just consider he has enough balls because he ran, that's all. In the case of Bush we should have been more scared than we were because this man had turned out to be an idiot. This man has taken this country where it never wanted to go and nowhere at all at the same time. This war of his has been on the national scene for the last five years, and I can't truly see whee we have accomplished anything else beyond giving all our jobs to China and India. Had Kerry become president as he should have this world would be entirely different now. Hindsight. Unfortunately, I think that this war will perhaps prevent the next president from accomplishing all that they could because of having to deal with the mess Bush will leave behind.
As for Hillary not being woman enough? White people, once blacks had been freed as slaves once painted us with a tar brush, calling us all the soul searing names they could think of. Now, they're painting Hillary with the unwomanly brush, not feminine enough. Maybe Hillary will make it where Shirley didn't, and as far as I'm concerned, Hillary is more than enough woman, and in some rarefied air.
My bad! Carol Mosely Braun ran for president in 2003. You go girl!
Oh, I did check and my response to Peggy Drexler's Where Have All the Good Girls Gone? did go up here. I am Jazzylady26.
