Affirmative Action

Geraldine Ferraro has to leave the Billary campaign because she is white, a woman and not Barack Obama


This is getting ridiculous.

I guess that to create a diversion from the Spitzer debacle, and to give racists in Pennsylvania a reason to get out the vote, Geraldine Ferraro "steps down" from her role as a member of Hillary Clinton's finance committee.

And just as other racist liberals, she raised the "intentions flag" : That their intentions are misunderstood, that their intentions are not what people say they are.

It gets better.

She goes down "in protest", arguing that she was being deprived of her First Amendment Rights and that they are attacking her to hurt Hillary :

Dear Hillary –

I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.

The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won't let that happen.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to make this a better world for my children and grandchildren.

Words to live by

They dance and strip for free while some jerk-off makes a fortune selling videos of them. Looking dumbfounded when she learned that the girls don't get paid for their exposure, Oprah remarked, "Okay, that really is stupid." No kidding.

But, wait! It gets worse. It is not just that women are exploiting their bodies "for free", they are forking out tons of money to look like all the women they see on television. Oprah had four teenagers from Florida on the show. These young girls spend thousands of dollars to imitate celebrity styles and one is already planning on getting breast implants. Are these young women just a rare exception? Come on. Who hasn't spent a ridiculous amount of money on highlights, or bikini waxes, or some other please-make-me-be-sexy type thing?

We are literally buying into our oppression. People are profiting off the exploitation of girls and women, and then taking our money as we each try to add up to the narrow formula of sexy that bombards us.
