I Guess It Truly Does Take a Racist to Know a Racist

Response to Harvard Professor Kennedy

I Guess It Truly Does Take a Racist to Know a Racist. You, Mr. Kennedy, may wish to read your column again and then take a good, long, look in the mirror. You are at best ethnocentric, but more likely a racist—your column was, and none too bright.I am an ethnocentric. However, I voted for the Honorable Douglas Wilder for governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He was properly qualified and ultimately a really good governor. Your guy from that corrupt political “machine” of Chicago is not. Of the four persons on the respective tickets, he is the least qualified. I served as staff on two democratic gubernatorial administrations over a span of 10 years. We did not have a cabinet system, thus, the staff, under the direction of the governor, were the administrators of government. I had all business regulatory and economic development agencies. In addition, I served on staff of a democratic member of Congress in Washington, DC. That makes me more qualified than your “community activist” and legislator. My experience with legislators in Washington, from 1979 to present, having been there, is that most couldn’t run a shoe-shine stand, save the former governors and a handful more.I lived up Chicago way for a few years and saw first-hand the corrupt political machine in the late 1960s. I wouldn’t vote for anyone from that cesspool, especially a black politician from that machine—recall, if you will, the “eminent” Mayor Washington. He inherited an outhouse and turned it over on its side. I guess he thought it was Halloween.If the white folks in this election took the same racist view as the black folks and voted for the white ticket in the same percentage as their counterparts, the black ticket would be thoroughly embarrassed and deservedly so. Why? We are beginning to see your true colors and you are not even subtle about your racism AND absolute sexism. We have known about the latter for a long, long time and so have you. “Judged fairly?” Would that be as “fairly” as Hilary Clinton was treated by that sexist Obama bunch?I have been watching this blowhard for several months. I have never before seen a candidate for any office talk so much and say absolutely nothing. I have heard but one salient fact from the Windy City goof—what day the election is to be held. That’s it. Finito. No mas. Jeez! Give me a break.He couldn’t cite the Pledge of Allegiance or the Lord’s Prayer without a teleprompter. Without one, he mumbles, sputters and misspeaks most embarrassingly. It is incomprehensible to me that anyone over 12 (excepting some of my fellow democrats who would vote for Daffy Duck if he were the democratic nominee) would take the Chicago boy seriously. He is laugh track material.He shouldn’t have had a prayer on Election Day because Americans previously decided to vote their conscience when they are approaching that all important voting booth. Forget the polls. When I was in business college, in Business & Economic Statistics class, we imputed a plus or minus 5 percent factor in any statistical poll. We called it the “liars’ factor”. That has more than doubled since the 1960s. Lying in political polls has now become a sport—“of course I would vote for a liberal black candidate”. They poll liberal and vote centrist. One should not wonder why Joebama is moving ever more centrist as the election gets closer.When Election Day has come and gone, my wish is that this ship of fools on South Capitol and Ivy Streets, Democratic HQ, will form a circle firing squad, fire on three and then we can start all over, zero base, and begin nominating normal people for a change. The last time they actually nominated one who won an election was James Earl Carter—our daily disappointment. You will likely say, wrong, it was Bill Clinton. I will say, you are, once again, none too bright. He ran against Demo HQ from the pulpit of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). The nitwits on South Cap & Ivy generally referred to him as a yokel from Arkansas. I say, yanks go home.Finally, I was in the private conference room at the Capitol Hyatt in Washington, DC, at the winter meeting of the National Governors Conference when the DLC was hatched. Strangely, it was all Southern Governors. I guess they knew then what the DNC was about and it wasn’t about them. The DNC is still comprised of the same old hacks from the northeast corridor and it of course keeps on losing and losing and losing until this ship of fools got elected. Please refrain from any reference to John F. Kennedy when Obama is even in the same zip code. Kennedy could not even be nominated by the DNC today—he would be considered as too conservative. Besides, I thoroughly resent it and this present “Democratic” party has NO John F. Kennedy.p.s. I have had the extreme disappointment of having hired Harvard grads and would never again make that same mistake—lame, very, very lame.
