This myth advanced by Bill and Hillary Clinton and Gloria Steinem,
that black men have an easier time rising to the top than white women,
is pure garbage.
Here are the facts:
(1). Most corporations have a zero tolerance for sex discrimination, but no such zero-tolerance policy for race discrimination.
In other words, one can be summarily dismissed for sex discrimination, but race discriminators can survive for years, in corporations.For example, racist Mark Furhman is not only surviving, but is a hero on TV news and entertainment shows.
(2).
Sex discrimination is a crime; race discrimination is not a crime.
(3).
White women were always citizens from the inception of the nation; whereas
Roger B. Taney, Supreme Court Chief Justice said that blacks were not citizens; could never be citizens; and were not intended to be citizens.
It took blacks another hundred years to become second class citizens; and another hundred years to approach full citizenship.
(4). Black men were slaves; white women were not.
(5). Black men had to pay poll taxes; white women never had to.
(6). White women lived in plantation mansions; while black men slaved in the fields, of those plantation mansions.
(7). Black men slaved for white men and white women; white women never slaved for black men.
(8). There have been more white women governors than black men governors.
(9). There have been more white women US Senators than black men US Senators.
(10). White Madeline Albright was Secretary of State before black Colin Powell.
(11). White women have been heads of Hollywood studios; no black man has ever been head of a Hollywood studio.
(12). Unqualified white Sally Ride went into space ahead of better qualified black pilots; three of whom had Ph. Ds.
So this outrageous notion that black men have had an easier time to the top than white women is pure fiction; and shows another cynical ploy by the Clintons to divide this nation.
Black people adored Bill Clinton and loved Hillary Clinton; until they played the race card in New Hampshire.
Before Iowa, black people were for Senator Clinton 60%-40%.
When the Clintons went into the bunker as was reported, after Iowa and hatched their version of the Southern Strategy, did blacks turn to Obama.
So don't give us this crap that we are voting for Obama because he is black.
We are voting for Obama because he is better qualified to be President on day one, period!!!
