Bitch or Black Man?

With the Republican Party’s Presidential hopes sinking to the bottom of the Mariana’s Trench, weighed down by a war that no one can justify or explain and an economy in constant peril, the Oval Office seems bound for a Democratic occupant.

So the real drama is being played out in the Democratic Primaries where, like two expansion teams meeting in the World Series, two heretofore downtrodden demographics are slugging it out for their chance to be the first first. Will it be the women or the blacks?

Although the official campaign buzzwords talk about Hillary’s “30 years of experience” and Obama “representing change” the fight at street level is far baser - do we want a bitch or a black man?

Through the eyes of the mainstream, most of the crude attacks seem to be directed at Hillary – her cankles, her shrill voice, her manly intensity. The media gets away with reporting on these sexist attacks because, as one feminist whines, there is a far lower standard in the public’s acceptance of woman bashing:

“Goodbye to the (Hillary Clinton) nutcracker with metal spikes between splayed thighs. If it was a tap-dancing blackface doll, we would be righteously outraged—and they would not be selling it in airports. Shame.”

There is some truth to the fact that we feel more comfortable bashing a gender than a race or ethnicity. I certainly felt a lot more at ease putting Bitch in my title than Negro (which I eventually changed to the less abrasive “Black Man”).

But, as I don’t have to tell you, the racism (true discrimination) is out there. Not on the nightly news—you have to dig a little deeper to find it (but not too deep – I simply googled “Obama n**ger). And it is far more vicious, more dangerous, than the woman-bashing that the Hillary-backers cry about.

In a few minutes on one message board, I came up with eloquent gems like these:

“One only has to look at what happened to Zimbabwe to see what America will become if Obama gets elected. Or just look at any African country that doesn't have white goverment. We'll be the laughing stock of the world. Support Obama? Flush twice, its a long way to Washington!!”

“Notice that the one and ONLY reason that the White shit for brains Liberals are voting for a n**ger is because he is a shit colored n**ger. According to them, its time for America to have a shitskin for president, no other reason. Imagine how these mindless assholes would squeal and scream 'racist' if anyone were to say 'vote for the White guy because he's White'.”

“Nigbama may be the final nail in the US coffin we need, so we can take this country back. Maybe not such a bad thing.”

With extreme racial tension like this bubbling under the surface it’s clear that the country is far more ready to paint the walls of the Oval Office pink than cover the couches in plastic. Personally I don’t care too much which victim of society wins, either would be better than a half-wit.
