Watch this video. After remarks made by he and his wife during the Democratic Primaries, many blacks thought they were race bating, and using scare tactics with older white democratics against Obama. What do you think?
I think that Hillary & Bill Clinton in the beginning blind sided many, & managed to get the majority of the black vote, but carma has resurfaced for the Clintons. Blacks now see them from a totally different angle, si nce running against obama.

Bill feels that since he is a sax player he is black. He feels that since blacks voted and supported him, that we would stay by his side. He forgot that we always side with our own. Plus he is angry that a negro beat his wife!

I'm appalled that anyone in America can be so naive to think that Bill Clinton or his wife is racist, it just goes to show how brainwashing and persuasive the media can be when it comes down to the Clinton's, any one who knows how the Republican party works should be aware that anything questionable will be a spotlight for negative dialogues aimed at the Clinton's used by the Republican media, mostly by fox news. and it's because the Clinton's don't share the same views as some whites government officials in America. I guarantee that if people don't wake up and realize what's really happening in this country nothings ever going to change for the better, I"am willing to bet that if when the Natural Historical Disaster nearly destroyed New Orleans if Clinton was president the Black people in New Orleans would have gotten the aid that was needed in hours not days, while people or busy allowing others to form there opinions about good people in our government there was little discussions about how after allowing the people in New Orleans to suffer for three days Bush influenced by Karl Roves went down to New Orleans in what looked like an attempt to take control of the situation, but very few people knew it was only a media plot and while Bush was on the ground level with soldiers and dump trucks in the back ground it was only to deceive the American people as well as Blacks. while the attempt failed to promote negative propaganda aimed at the Governor and the Mayor of new Orleans in an attempt to take control. Bush and his Hollywood camera crew {fox news} vanished into thin air along with all the media that came with them to deceive the American people, but you would have to be awake to see this, and don't expect to this day to see news coverage on these important issues, but instead you would have to dig deep and find the truth, it was covered, but not by fox. All fox reported was a black guy walking through waist deep water carrying a flat screen plasma television....but the question needs to be asked, where did the footage go that should have showed the lady swimming with both babies in hand trying to stay a float or the whites and blacks who's efforts were not caught on film trying to save each other, I guess all those got lost some how. But the main stream media will show a hand full of bad apples walking through waist deep waters carrying flat screen TVs with their paints sagging, and this is suppose to represent the entire population the babies the young men and wemon and the elderly...............well if you believe that then your GRAND DELUSIONAL, and the truth escapes you with ease, when you want it to,...........the only peace I have on this issue is that God has the final say in everything........I'm also willing to bet that only a hand full of people knew that millions of dollars of aid and help was turned down from other countries, aid from Cuba and Russia, Cuba who has it's share of hurricanes wanted to help with rescue helicopters and trained people who had previously rescued people in there own country from similar situation, also medical nurses were at our disposal , yet it was all turned down............I really don't know what else to say, but I guess I'll leave you with this ....Racism doesn't always come in the form of the N-word.....And you would also have to be awake to wonder why shortly after the earth quake in the ocean that caused the tsunami in the third world country Thailand received more aid then the black people who were referred to as refuges in the southern states of America received more aid in less amount of time........and so in my mind in the current time that we live in there has never been a more blatant display of racism by our government.....I Predict you should pay close attention to Karl Roves and G.W.Bush in the media, because justice will prevail in this case. ..............And in an effort to stay on the topic, there's a reason why some white people joke about President Clinton being the first black president, but I really wish they would make up there minds, either he's racist or he's for the Black people in America.

How can you be a closet racist when the term racist is define by power and privilege designed for a group of people based on the original heritage. So, being a racist is not an individual act, it is a system. So, who do you know benefit in life with special power and privileges based on the cultural identity? WHITE PEOPLE. So ALL white people are racist....

I would say that Bill Clinton is being his real self. He and his wife are still doing the same work that they started doing as children. As children thay fought tooth and nail to keep the first Black student coming into their public schools. Today they are trying to keep the 'first' person with Black skin out of the public's White House.And, like so many of you, you were not evn born so you could be witnessfor this your own selves. This is why you now carry the torch of "freedom" for the next 50 years. ( and hopefully not into the next century as so many of us have ) Then you will be able to pass this on to your grandchildren.
My generationof Black people got the first person Catholic into the White House because White Christian America was afaid of him.( or should I say his lead minister- the POPE) You know him as President JFK. You see I really know what the Kennedys are saying when they say Obama will carry on the work of JFK and MLK. History records that they were killed in the middle of their fight for in forcing Brown vs board of Education on our Government....
Please continue these blogs. Proper/ true education about America is the magic bullet need in this country agains our Jim Crow laws.
My thanks to you for this g. Smalllwood.

Carlos, I look forward to any news about Pres. Bush, Rove and Chaney that I can. News like Karl Rove is no longer protected from Congress who wants to talk with him about abuses of power in this administration. I just love how the Democrats and the few Republican directly envolved in all of this has been able to get away with "these are not an impeachment" hearings.
Oh, and by the way, heve you ever seen either of the Clintons in an ALL WHITE church or in an ALL Black town in the past months?
Oh, and did you see the Black Liberation church and the Black minister and members of this church the Clintons attended while in the White House? So, even if I did not call them 'racist' there is no way that I can not call them phoney/lying in doing our thinking for us. Oh, did you hear the person who coined the "Clinton being the first Black president"? If you had ever read one book by this famous best selling Black female author, you would never have not been able to understood (EXACTLY)what she was saying when she said this. Then years later she would not have been still CENSORED out of main stream media when she talked about it this time around . Some of the people refuse to limit their education to censored CNN/ FNC (the family, christian value based Republican party)news about" Black in Ameria" as too many other do: black, White, yellow or red!

Carlos, please for give me for that ..."if you had read..." I should have said read and fully under the way she writes. She writes so tied to the African culture that it is so very had to understand the point of her books. They are books from the African culture ties, not the American Black culture point or view. I am so sorry for that remark as it was uncalled for.'Choice', is not limited to me and me alone.

Having just seen and heard Bill Clinton unable or refusing to say if Obama is qualified to become president made me a very happy voter. Now may be the question about if Hillary will be his vice will be put to rest! I am so tired of this question all of the time. May be now they will begin to bring up the name Senator Joe Biden as this man has always "had Obama's back" and has all of the things that Obama is accused of not having accomplished in office. I took this(unsual political move) behavior of B. Clinton as him having accepted that his wife will not be VP.
This behavior is why I look at as instant gratifations is what leads to long term pain. Or is this a sign that Hillary has no more political goals? What B. Clinton said today or did not say can be better used against his wife, in the future, than against Obama today and especially if he is our next president.

..and, my conscious says Senator John Edwards for Obama's attorney general as he is another person who looks as someone who will protect B.H.O's best interest along with governor Bill Richardson.
