MY ECCENTIC "AUNT" GERALDINE COULD HAVE USED THE COMPASSION OF YOUR "UNCLE" JEREMIAH
ALL WEEK, I WONDERED, SINCE, GEARALDINE WAS A PARTY MINORITY, ELDER STATESWOMAN, THAT BARACK COULD NOT GRACEFULLY PARDON HER AND SAY YOU PHRASED IT WRONG, SISTER, BUT JOIN ME MY "FELLOW MINORITY HISTORY MAKER". I WAS EXCITED WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, WHEN I VOTED THE FIRST WOMAN VICE PRESIDENT-- LIKE MANY OF YOU, AFRICAN AMERICAN, AS MUCH, AS WHITE, DID WHEN YOU VOTED BARACK! YOU NEVER WANT TO DOWN A MOMENT OF AMERICAN HISTORY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT GERALDINE SAID, BUT, IT SEEMS TO BE THE PASTOR'S PHILOSOPHY, RACE MATTERS, AND NOT IN A GRACIOUS WAY. I HAVE TO FORGIVE HIS "UNCLE", WHEN HE DID NOT "FORGIVE" MY AUNT. I THINK NOT. HILLARY CAMP. BE GRACIOUS OR END UP IN THIS TOWN-- UNGRACIOUSVILLE; A TOWN OF LONELY HELL!

Happened to Power and now Ferraro.
It's nothing that hasn't happened before or won't happen again.
this is politics, take the fall for your candidate, it is loyalty.
They were offensive in 1988 just as they are 20 years later. One would hope that she learned from one experience not to repeat the same mistake. But in her mind there was nothing in her statments to apologize for.
So what is there to forgive?
And in 84 I still voted for Ferraro and whoever (Mondale?) and not Jesse in the primary so I didnt make a big deal of it.
So, in a way I agree with your appeal and we all shoudl be better than this because when this hit in 84 it cost the Democrats the election and if things continue to go the way they are this election might be a done deal as well.
Hillary won California, Florida and Texas in this primary but when was the last time a Democrat won all three along with New York, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois in a primary. Thats a lot of voters to risk turning off from the DP.
I actually thought this site was more about strategizing rather than spinning media speculation and sensationalized rumor-mongering. Guess I was wrong on that too.
Like I always say I can forgive but I never forget. We need to move forward, not repeat these same mistakes in the past because they are doing all of us more harm than good.
PEACE.
I grew up in the Jim Crow south. I saw it as a child and was repelled by it. I have seen a cross burning in a field as I rode home from visiting a family member in rural, 1960's North Carolina.
I remember riots in school during intergration. I remember it all like yesterday.
Obama has been given a free pass by the media. Maybe it isn't to late to put him under the microscope Hillary Clinton has been under for the last 16 years.
I have no problem voting for any man or woman, black ,white, yellow, red or green that has the cut of the jib to be President, but this guy just doesn't have it.
