I grew up in a Democratic, union run household.
I grew up believing in the Democratic Party. My mother, my personal, she-ro growing up was the main provider to me and my siblings on politics, with my father harping in the background.
I am an African-American woman and does the Democratic Party want my vote and the vote of many others like me, who may not look like me but think like me, but who are highly offended by the continued race tinged Hillary Clinton Campaign.
Do you want my vote, Democratic Party? |
| Many had to sit by and listen to the Billy Shaheen reference of Barack Obama, "may have sold drugs?" We had to sit by and hear the Hillary Clinton Campaign workers happily spreading the Obama Email smear in Iowa. We suffered through a former United States Senator, Bob Kerrey make snide, inferance of Obama's name, then apologize for it. We had to deal with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo berate Barack Obama with the "shuck and jive" inference. We had to listen to former owner of BET, Robert Johnson, assault Barack Obama in such a way the man was scratched off MANY invitee lists. He was just that hideous. We were hurt, disheartened over the role of former President Bill Clinton. He purposely and willingly used Deep South race bait rhetoric, which left my mother in shock, let alone everyone else. Why? Bill Clinton knows better. Lastly, the uninviting and divisive comments of Geraldine Ferraro. That is it Democratic Party. Do you want my vote? Do you?
You sure don't seem like you do. This behavior is what one would expect from the Republicans, not from comrades. And all of it has come from and was started from the Clinton Campaign.
I wrote a diary called, Democratic Establishment, We are Watching You. This diary was about us watching, them. Now, I don't think they know what the hell to do.
The African American voter is the most loyal and solid voter of the Democratic base, yet we have repeatedly had to sit, listen to some of the most shocking words coming out of democrats mouths, that we would never have expected. I came to this election season expecting it tough, but not torrid amongst us and definitely not racist as much of it has been.
I am not going to lie. It is hard to be a Democrat now with all this bullshit swirling around between the two campaigns. But since the Clinton Campaign has the kitchen sinks strategy it is time for Democrats to ask, at what cost?
We now see McCain has come back up in the polls. Now he is quietly raising money. Now he is getting ready to try and burnish security credentials abroad. While Hillary Clinton continues to allow her surrogates and her campaign to continue racist attacks.
I don't know about you, but I have to question this party. Do you want my vote?
If so, why are you continuing to verbally assault a loyal constituency with the racist tone? And you don't have to be for Obama to not like it. This is supposed to be the Democratic Party, one of a big tent, one who welcomes everyone.
Well, this party is quickly, and I wrote quickly, making one group soon stand on the SIDELINE in November. So, keep verbally assaulting us, Hillary Clinton. If you are the candidate, we will not have your BACK. |
