Every day I look at this I don’t understand
Only want to know
You have no sense and you have no class

Divided You Fall
I am woman hear me roar
But do not let me ever soar
For you can humor me and then my words ignore
Helen may have been ready (sorry about that one) but clearly America is not. Or more to the point our macho male driven society is not. Nor is the media. Neither are ready to give up their stronghold on power in this country.
Ask yourself who is in control of everything in our world. Do you know a woman in charge of something? Is there not a man above her? And if not then is there a board of directors to whom she must answer and is that board not run by men?
I am not against men, obviously far from it but I must ask this question. In this year of a black man being carried to the Presidency by other men and the media is he the best PERSON for the job? The clear answer is NO. He is even far from the best man but then we just lived, barely through an eight year ordeal of the WORST man for the job so he is at least a step up. He is also the end result of a major marketing and packaging job. This man has no true opinion or stance on any issue other than what he has been coached to say by his savvy handlers. His image is merely a façade.
So what happened?
Why is this novice Senator with a racist wife and racist backers being lauded as the greatest agent of change and savior of our country?
Well for one thing he is not Hillary.
You see we love our women and need them. But “their place is in the kitchen” or “taking care of the
babies.” This is not me speaking, this was the answer given by many WOMEN, especially in the South when polled about their vote.
Women said that.
They are not far removed from the ‘barefoot and pregnant’ mentality. And if a woman is going to say that do you think her man is going to argue? Hell no. He is going to quietly sneak out of the place, ‘high-five’ his friends, grab a beer and look for a little poontang.
So what is the solution to this sexist based bias? Well ninety eight percent of the black vote went for Obama. Can those voters be called racist? After all most of them probably voted for him because he is black, or blackish. But if a white person voted against Obama for the same reason he’s labeled racist.
It is clear that in our country no matter what the black activists say you have a better chance to succeed if you are a black man than if you are a woman, of any color.
If ninety eight percent of the women in this country voted for any one individual THAT PERSON WOULD WIN. This is a fact. Of course the men and the media would call them sexist and whisper the "B" word that so many used for Hillary.
According to the last census there were 153 million women in America. Ninety eight percent of 153 million is 150 million. That same census showed 148.6 million men! So one million women could stay in the kitchen and clean the house and feed the baby and they would still win.
Clearly the only way for men to keep their power is to keep women down. And clearly that message is still the law of the land.
Perhaps it is time for women to take a page from the ‘book of black.’ Together women could make a difference in this country because most clearly the men have not done all that well. Words and rhetoric aside it is time for a real change.
The United States was built on the simple motto, “United we Stand.” So ladies, when you are finally ready repeat after me, I am woman, I am invincible, I am strong, I am woman!

That’s the Ticket
Politics has always been known for its improbable unions and combinations of people who are seemingly incapable of being in the same room without coming to blows. These liaisons are commonly known by the phrase “Strange Bedfellows.” And it is certainly not a new one as it appears in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” written in the early 17th century.
But Willie had nothing on American politics. These days you cannot get anything done unless you agree to sleep with the enemy. The idealism of Frank Capra’s “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” does not exist in reality. In order to get your message heard you need money and backers. These people or organizations must spread your word and get out the vote. And in return for their help you will probably have to change your position to suit their desires.
Expediency rules and in order to stop some in-fighting a Presidential front runner might offer to have one of his competitors run on the ticket as the Vice Presidential candidate. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson did not get along at all and yet together they made a winning pair.
We may have a similar scenario playing out now on the ‘donkey’ side of the aisle this year as the two leading candidates for the Democratic nomination are at each other’s throats even though their opinions are similar. And theirs is no tempest in a teapot as it is the lead story on many a news program especially the fake ones such as Fox.
The voters might enjoy a ticket comprised of the young Kennedy-backed Obama and the self-assured worldly former first lady Clinton but there are hurdles to overcome before this could be a reality.
Most importantly egos may get in the way. I do not see Senator Clinton allowing herself to be the running mate but if she does not hold the lead going into the convention this could be her only choice. If she comes out of Super Tuesday in the lead Obama may decide to bite the bullet and join forces.
So I hereby request that the two Senators start seriously thinking about a Clinton-Obama ticket and when they do the slogan is ready-made and it’s a winner. A few bucks in royalties and the Fab-Two of the Democratic party will win the White House.
EBONY AND IVORY, ARE THE CANDIDATES FOR YOU & ME.
HELP THEM LEAD US BACK WHERE WE SHOULD BE
AND TOGETHER WE'LL LIVE IN HARMONY, again.

The RACE for the Presidency
It has always been below the surface, lurking around the corner or hiding under the bed. Race and the differences or even similarities therein are always with us. And now more than ever or at least since the time of the 13th amendment in 1865 it is at the forefront of our lives.
Little by little nearly everything said by the two front running candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination is being translated into a sort of race language.
But there is also another issue that should be considered. Equally as oppressive as is the racial divide is the below the surface, lurking, hiding issue of gender. While not as physically violent it is nevertheless as real as its counterpart. Women can point to 1922 and the 19th amendment for their first step toward equality.
And so whatever is said by these two ground-breaking candidates it is also couched into terms of gender.
So and so played the race card while so and so played the victim and cried. Both sides are at fault but neither side can be faulted. We are to blame.
Just by answering the polls we propagate the stupidity.
And many in America commit the worst crime they could possibly commit, VWU Voting While Uninformed. A supposed majority of voters did so in 2000 and most assuredly once again 2004. It is up to us to get past the publicity and the rhetoric. We must understand what is at stake and look at the big picture. The next President of the United States must hit the floor running if we hope to regain our stature in the eyes of the world.
When Senator Clinton made the terrible mistake of attributing Dr. Martin Luther King’s success in his fight for Civil Rights and Voting Rights to then President Lyndon Baines Johnson she slighted her opponent’s supporters. How dare she say that a white president was needed to get justice for the black community? First of all a president was needed to help get the bill through congress and turn it into law. Se
cond of all there have only been white presidents so far. And last of all she was correct. Anyone interested in checking this out please go back and read.
This does not nor should it cast any aspersions on the work of Dr. King but facts are facts and the two men worked hand in hand to get the job done. If our next President is Black then issues and problems of particular concern to the White community will have to be championed in part by that Black President in order to be resolved.
Luckily in this country we have a constitution and a government of checks and balances. And while it may not take a village to get things done it does take more than one person. This makes it hard for any one man, or woman to rule as a tyrant or dictator (sorry W.) Dr. King’s ideals were no-bra
iners but they could not become laws without changes to our constitution.
After 143 years of struggling for freedom a black or African American man has a very real chance of becoming the President of the United States of America.
Af
ter 86 years of head butting against the all too real glass ceiling in our country a woman has a very real chance of becoming the President of the United States of America.
It is up to us. We the People must get past the rhetoric. Both Democratic candidates are deserving of our praise but both of them have their own ideas and ideals. Both of them could do our country proud as president. But if either of them wishes to be President they must put gender and RACE out of the race.
