Here's the awesome rant by Keith Olbermann on the matter of Clinton having yet another surrogate race-baiting for the upcoming elections in Pennsylvania :

I went over to Booman Tribune to see how they were dealing with the show and I'm there in several threads. Martin himself asked me why I believe that Ferraro's comments do enter David Duke territory because to him the words sounds stupid, not racist.

Well ...

I think the most salient aspect that ties Ferraro's words to Duke's is her claim that she was a victim of anti-white racism :

"Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up.

"Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white.

"How's that?"

Compare that to Duke's lament about "anti-white racism" :

Obama is able to get away with his associations and views because the American media and political establishment are an anti-White establishment constantly betraying true European American interests in almost every vital area. The establishment promotes an enforced, anti-White racial discrimination called affirmative action.

That's some of the less vile stuff I found about the man but the similarities are there.

Again, Olbermann is not saying she is like Duke but that her racist comment is coming extremely close to him.

The "affirmative action is anti-white racism" is one of those fake issues that white supremacists like David Duke and Pat Buchanan mainstreamed in the collective political consciousness. Conveniently used to divert attention from issues of real importance economic justice, it acts like a calling card among all manner of whites who believe they've been "left behind" by their lack of melanin.

All manner of whites though, mostly of a certain generation and/or age : Millennials are voting in droves for Obama. In Mississippi alone 72% of their votes went to him.

Over and over again the surrogates who've race baited the Obama campaign have been all over the age of 55: Joe Johnson, Bill Clinton, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Sergio Bendixen, Gloria Steinem. Most have been either WW2 babies or first wave boomers.

In other words, these are people who came of age in a segregated America and who are used to a society forged on a hierarchy of entitlements. Entitlements in which The (white) Man always comes first.

Which is why a lot of the older feminists supporting Obama see him as "breaking the rule" of trying to snatch away from white women they're right to have their vote (and their will) count first. In their world, after The (white) Man, comes the The (white) Woman.

The people, those pesky millennials who are voting for Obama in droves, are messing up big time with the early Boomers "but it's my turn" mojo.

And it's taken the Boomers by surprise because many of these politicians have been at it for 20, 30, 40 years thanks to their ability to capitalize on the choppy participation of the disaffected voters of their own generation. They've consolidate power thanks to the cynicism that reigned supreme in the culture and counterculture of the last 40 years.

Ferraro doesn't even have words to describe what is happening. Change doesn't even exist in her vocabulary. What she has to say is : "And the country is caught up in the concept".

The country is enthralled in the "concept" of a black man as president, not the reality.
