Geraldine Ferraro's Comment

[MIvarsson99]

Mr. Obama was not "presidential material" and you are not masturbation material.

Call it a truce?

[spaceorbison]

It's all she could come up with because she wanted Hillary to win so badly.

[tw1704]

If she has kids, its obvious what she may be teaching her kids.

[NoSaltyPeanuts]

I get what you're saying but I think liberals tend to say the words, racist, sexist, etc. Conservatives use a lot of code words so lik "real American" christian, family values. When they use these words they don't tend to show brown people. However, when they say thug, criminal, welfare queen, immigrant, they show brown faces. Not using the word gives them an out when they're criticized for being racist.

[byron225a]

Being on the side of the racist??? How is that good or acceptable? The reason these people apologize is because they have sponsors who donate to them. So they try not to lose thier money. Ferraro has not sponsors so she can say what she chooses. You dont have a full grasp of the circumstances surrounding what is at stake. People say whatever they choose, but they apologize when they have something to lose. Try not to equate your life to those above your station.

[tyty703]

Oh well your entitled to your 0pinion.

0bama 08!!!

[FTLSOFLO]

White America continues to be in denial. They have shot, raped and murdered their way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This why they are a psychotic people. Destroyers of things they don't understand. This will all end very soon. The rest of the planet( none whites)recognize them for what they are.

[shadowsden]

Um, If u don't think Hillary's Gender hasn't helped her exponentially than u r out of touch. I am just as tired of hearing about misogynist issues as you are about racist issues but to I would be a fool to not acknowledge when it occurs. It is blatant hipocrosy on Hillary's campaign to defend Ferraro's statement. And for Ferraro herself to say that when she knows that if she weren't a woman at the time period she was running for Vice President, she might not have been selected

[carhac66]

Evidently you vote Republican because it's the whites only club. Only other races are allowed if they are on their knees. You really need to stop drinking or using.

[chosen1601]

This nut(vitafinds)should go and hibernate. It irritates me when idiotic people open their mouth like in this video. PLEASE GO BACK TO HIBERNATING!!!

[Lorna7474]

Is she drunk?

[trublueone]

WOW. Your ignorance is ASTOUNDING! Another ignorant. You have no idea was context and comprehension is. Listening to you has lowered my I.Q. points. Clinton is a liar and she's divisive.

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. I am a black woman have experience far more RACISM than SEXISM. This is all about ENTITLEMENT that you Hillary supporters seem to think should be given to you. And yes, if you are on the sides of racists, you are a RACIST.

[UGOTDAJACK]

Thanks alot jerk! I thought your post was going to be about something but somehow I have allowed you to waist my time...Next time you do a youtube posting, rehearse it because this sucks!

[zahin2002]

Get lost lady!!!! Get dope.!

[vitalfinds]

What's the lesson for Black Americans?

[OmegaJerico]

Regardless of how capable a Black Candidate may be whites will never elect a Black person to the Highest office.

Whites were afraid of Change when the Black slaves were freed by a Rep.President. Whites were afraid of Change when the 60's civil rights movement had blacks marching for equal rights as their white counterparts.

Now whites are afraid that a Black person will become Pres.. Blacks have fought for change since slavery. Blacks have to BATTLE Whites to make CHANGE a reality.SAD!

[vitalfinds]

I disagree. I really think that Obama's race had been helping him (before this latest controversy anyway). I think that there are a lot of whites who want to prove to themselves or others that they are progressive, non-racist thinkers, and will vote for Obama even though he's not qualified (imho).

[vitalfinds]

Oops, I was trying to delete a spam message and ended up deleting the first comment on this thread.

[statnerd52]

Jackson and Sharpton irritated people..Obamama plays to the white guilt tripper by using a velvet glove....

[vitalfinds]

I agree.

[seafarer007]

Would you like it if some one called your daughter,"A dirty blonde White Whore"... I don't think so! So for Imus to call some one "nappy headed whore" is totally tasteless. If you stop making racist comments, people will stop pulling the racist card.

[vitalfinds]

Did you not hear me refer to that in this video?

[NappyRootzz]

you are so damn racist!! do u know what Nappy Headed mean, Nappy headed dont mean just tough!! well u sure sound racist to me!!

[vitalfinds]

Thanks for sharing NappyRoots.

[cleo1994]

Give people some credit. I don't believe that Obama is in the lead because of the color of his skin. Obama stands for the future, and yes, he stands for hope. People may say it's only words, but without words expressing hopes and dreams nothing will be achieved.

It may not be politically correct, but the Swedish primeminister Fredrik Reinfeldt, openly supports Barack Obama, and so do I.

Greetings from Norway

[osiris33]

Racism still exist... thanks for reconfirming.

[vitalfinds]

And overly sensitive people abound.

[tobybertie]

No it wasn't his blackness, it is the MEDIA!

The Republicans use the MEDIA to eliminate the strong democrate canidate then the Republicans

are ready to destroy the weak democrat's in the general election. If u look on youtube about Obama you will see the Republican's have plenty to destroy OBAMA, with the Media running it 24/7.

[vitalfinds]

I'm not planning on voting for a candidate due to their race, religion or gender. I'll be voting for McCain because he's the best we have to choose from in this election. And no, I'm not poor or uninformed.

[rjgwood]

McCain??? I think you'd better do some research. There are many people who've worked with him, including several top generals in the U.S. military, who say this man should NOT have his finger on the trigger. He gets irrational when angry. Very common knowledge!

[vitalfinds]

McCain is not my first, second or third choice among the republicans, but I still prefer to have him in charge over a democrat.

[vitalfinds]

You must be another one of those intelligent Obama supporters.

[mzshowbiz]

Its nice to know that you support the views of outspoken whites. White people should not be afraid to share their perspectives about black people. This proves Garveyism-Marcus Garvey that is..We don't belong in this bogus so called America-I wish we were never stolen from our homeland I wish all of you white folks kept it white and "pure" that way you could discriminate each other, lynch each other!

[vitalfinds]

If you say so.

[Duchyp]

OMG you think that the only reason why white people vote for obama is to prove they are not racist!!! I would like to know why you feel that way? cos this just shows you have a low opinion of black and when ever white people put their faith or trust in a black person that doesn't seem genuine to you I bet you don't have any black friends do you?

[vitalfinds]

Yes, I think that lots of whites want to prove to themselves that they're not racist, although of course by doing that basically proves the opposite. The other reason why people support him, I suppose is because he's not Hillary, and because he doesn't say anything that people don't like to hear -- since he doesn't say much more than hoping and dreaming.

[rjgwood]

You obviously have not done any homework on his positions. Why don't you visit his website and READ his position papers rather than believing the Hillary Clinton SPIN that he has no positions. They are actually very similar in policy. Where they differ is in their voting. Hillary voted for the Iraq war, voted for the bankruptcy bill which was a favor to the credit card industry (she said she wished it hadn't passed/yet voted for it???), and voted to give Bush free reign in Iran. OBAMA 08

[swifty288]

You are a dumb bitch just like Hillary. You only want to vote for her so you can live out your Femi-nazi power fantasies through her by proxy. Obama is clearly the better candidate but you can't see through that for some reason. People aren't voting for Obama because he's black, you fucking tool, their voting for him because he's the best candidate. Clinton supporters need to shut the fuck up and accept that that cackling whore will never become president.

Tl;DR: Kill yourself, retard.

[vitalfinds]

Another "intelligent" Obama supporter.

[swifty288]

Whether or not my comment had swearing in it has nothing to do with the validity of the points I raised or my intelligence. Clinton's campaign as well as her supporters rely on underhanded, cheap shot attacks because they know that Hillary Clinton doesn't have what it takes to win against a candidate like Obama. People like you are doing nothing but divide the democratic party and help the republicans. Voting for Clinton= voting for McCain, because he could tear her up in the general election.

[appldknwldge]

People under 30 need to take over this country. These old folks are hopeless. They have ruined our country and they are stuck on STUPID BS all the time. It's time for a take over........

[appldknwldge]

You were the person that they were trying to appeal to. They know that some white voters are afraid. It was intentional. You fell for it.

[vitalfinds]

Afraid of what? Let me guess ... hope?

[realdogmatic1]

vitalfinds: I am sorry..at the beggining of the democratic nomination. I don't think I heard one person state that Barack Obama was not experience enough to be President. Possibly because you didn't think he had a chance. Now that BILLARY say that a couple of weeks ago...NOW IT IS THE GOSPEL!!! GO AWAY..your BIAS opinion don't matter.

[vitalfinds]

Everyone I know has been saying this about Obama for a long time now.

[blacktampaguy]

To Vitalfinds: If you had to vote between Obama and Hillary and both were republicans who would you vote for?

[vitalfinds]

That's easy. It would be Hillary. I like her new health care plan, I like her Iraq withdrawal plan better, and I think she has more experience. She's had to vote up or down as opposed to Obama voting "present" so many times in Illinois, and she certainly says a lot more about what she'll do other than hoping and dreaming.

[rjgwood]

When I listen to Hillary's speeches, she doesn't say what she'll do, she denigrates Obama, and says she's experienced. Further, she has no problems taking credit for other's work, like SCHIP for example. She presents it as if SHE designed it and was responsible for it, yet it was Ted Kennedy who is behind that program. She never credits him for it. Polls indicate she will not defeat John McCain because of her high negatives. If you want to lose the Whitehouse in November, vote for Hillary.

[lewbear1961]

PA had CHIP for children and started it with Gov. Rendell at the lead and my state representative helping him. Hillary is doing a addition to her own plans with the program we have here. We are a progressive state for change as well as getting the healthcare system and all the players working together to solve our healthcare crisis. We have a way to go and our govenor is trying along with most of our state congress to help our people get care.I do not like Obama's plan as he only makes enemys

[JohannMint]

The basket ball team were all white girls BUT they looked tough? Whatchu mean? Black girls look tough by default and white girls don't?

[vitalfinds]

I guess I'd say that jocks look a little tough in general - although not necessarily.

[moham8803]

Who, is this stupid bitch? Hillary & Gerardo are dykes

[VenicDred]

I appreciate your honesty and introspection.

Yes, there is too much made of being called racist a lot of the time.

You probably notice more when someone is being sexist.

I think, for the most part, it's learned stereo types.

The thing is, Ferraro knows better.

I can appreciate that she didn't back down, but the comments are unnecessary and not very dignified.

Nobody's making a big deal about women supporting Hillary because she's a woman.

It's something that doesn't need stating.

[vitalfinds]

Hillary is not getting my support either - not because she is/isn't a woman, but because she's a democrat. On the other hand though, I have to admit that it would be cool to see a woman become president, and I can see why Blacks would want a Black person in the presidential role as well.

[bitterpill2swallow]

What do you like about the Republicans?

[vitalfinds]

Less government.

[blacktampaguy]

One way to discover someones personality is to know how they affect others. Consciously, or unconsciously, people feel your personality, and their reaction is a clue. This applies to the Clintons, Obamas, Mccains, and even those reading

[blacktampaguy]

To Vitalfinds: Never slant to racism or hate! And why is it that you have only slanted to White people anyway if your love for all races is universal? Why would you support Geraldine's decision not to apologize when you yourself would want your husband or children to apologize if they offended you or others?

[vitalfinds]

Another one of my pet peeves is that people think that they are entitled never to be offended. I'm always surprised on YT when people feel free to call each other MF A-holes, but then get so bent out of shape for even the slightest hint of racism. One of the mildest comments that came out of this campaign was Hillary's reference to Lindon Johnson. I just can't see how that's racist, and that's the type of thing that makes me angry at anyone who throws around the racist word.

[blacktampaguy]

To Vitalfinds: You still have not answered my question! Never slant to racism or hate! And why is it that you have only slanted to White people anyway if your love for all races is universal? Why would you support Geraldine's decision not to apologize when you yourself would want your husband or children to apologize if they offended you or others?

[vitalfinds]

Are you saying that a person should apologize to someone even if it doesn't make sense ... as long as the recipient says they were offended? I guess there's a case to be made for that, but I tend to think that there needs to be a reason to apologize.

[blacktampaguy]

Sometimes what we don't say or do can hurt us. Hillary should have advised Geraldine to step down. By not doing that is a direct slap in the face to all whites as well as minorities that recognize the comments of Geraldine to be racist. Until Hillary does this she will not get my support.

PS. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks

[vitalfinds]

I just don't agree that her comment was racist. I think that people are attracted to Obama, in part, because of the fact that he could be the first Black president - and I don't see anything wrong with that thinking (even though he's not my favorite candidate).

[blacktampaguy]

So basically you believe that blacks, whites, asians, native americans and latinos etc. are voting for Obama based on his color? It seems as if you are seeing things from either republican & democrat or gender & race. I guess you don't believe people can favor someone outside of race, gender or party. Another slap in the face to all people.

[vitalfinds]

My thoughts have nothing to do with what race the Obama supporter it. I think that all types of people, especially white people (who might want to prove to themselves that they're not racist) really want to see a Black guy become president. That should be a good thing for Obama, shouldn't it?

[rjgwood]

As a woman, I'd love to see a woman president, but not this woman. I would like someone who hasn't ridden the coat tails of her husbands political success, but has gained her own with her own merit. Hillary Clinton had a $100 million dollar war chest and was the "inevitable" candidate with the biggest organization. Yet she blew this with poor management, has run a campaign full of deceit and subterfuge (planting questions/questioners, and generally playing dirty politics like Republicans).

[RoamingReturns]

your so freaking stupid. Obama said it himself, someone named Barack Obama versus a former First Lady is already at a disadvantage. I seriously think your stupid and shouldnt be on youtube. You just said that you think the Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are just as viable presidential candiddates as Barack Obama.

Fat ugly bitch.

[bitterpill2swallow]

No kidding Roaming Returns. It just goes to show you how racist many in America are. There are more women openly saying that they will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. Yet when a black man gets a lot of support from Blacks it is all about race.

Remember this Clinton had a lot of support in the south with blacks, but then she played dirty. She tried to insinuate Obama was less intelligent because he was Black and that he was lesser. Ferraro and Clinton are RACIST.

[vitalfinds]

Why are Obama supporters so insulting? I don't get it.

[Duchyp]

yes if they are expecting people to laugh if they find it funny then yes!

[Duchyp]

this women is dumb she's is not willing to except that most racists are in limbo cos they don't have the guts to speak the truth and say that they are in fact racist!! it's not the 50's or 60's and so these days you have to play it down and say oh I'm not a racist, the truth of the matter is racists don't like being called what they are and that's racist!! look women it's good you made the film but be honest about who you really are cos you your just being a coward!

[vitalfinds]

A coward in what respect? Let me guess ... I'm really a closet racist and that's why I don't want to vote for Obama? I hope you say yes, because that will prove my entire point.

[Akin42]

Lack of experience? None of the 3 have any executive experience. They haven't run anything other than campaigns (and most don't even run that).

As for your view on "anti-racists", it's a rather common view amongst older Americans, and it shows a great deal of paranoia on your part.

For once, you have a man who's trying to ignore his own race and reach across to others, and Hillmonster has to send people after him for being black, and stir up old hatred. This is the 3rd such infraction.

[majoha2020]

fat ugly bitch

[majoha2020]

youre ignorant and you  might not this like but your a closeted racist go fuck yourself

[yellowlabrador]

If I remember well some of the same arguements were used against Catholics. I think it's an american problem, always pidgeonholing groups.

[laroixhaos]

it's not about racism; it's about polarization.

hillary's strategy is designed for small minds like yours. so good luck with your candidate.

her experience is really something. lol!

ferraro is NOT a crusader for truth.

you're not overdue for washing your hair; you're overdue for reading a book or two!

[undecidedguy]

Geraldine Ferraro; Is this lady a racist idiot or what? I thought she had more class than that! Fact, Obama won Main, Kansas, Maryland, Iowa, Connect, and Delaware, all of which have overwhelming Caucasian demographics. In fact, Main is 85% His campaign is about bringing people together not tearing them apart. Hillary is so caught up in winning that she can't understand that if you divide the races you divide the party. That's why the democrats will loose the general election. KKK Lady!

[undecidedguy]

It's almost a guaranteed loss for the democrats in November, no matter who becomes their nominee. Their party is virtually split. Blacks against whites, women against men, rich against poor, popular vote against super delegates, and young against old. The fact is, neither Hillary nor Obama can gain enough delegates to win the nomination fairly. You guys have a real mess on your hands. McCain's inauguration will be spectacular!

[mcline007]

I do not give a fuck about his race. I give a fuck because he is the best candidate and candidate like we have not seen before. He is the only one who opposed to the stupid Iraq war from the beginning, not like hillary who know thinks the war wasn't such a good idea after all.

obama 08

[lovebug38]

i think the main reason he is gaining is because hillary keeps makin a damn fool of herself fussing with him all time. but, if i had a choice of democrats id choose hillary not because obmama is black the simple fact so many cotraviercies are against him.

[vitalfinds]

I think that Hillary is shocked that Obama has gotten as far as he has by mostly just talking about hoping & dreaming.

[bitterpill2swallow]

Both Clinton and Ferraro are racist.

[gilligan07734]

did you get grape juice while you were in the diner

[aumbaapa]

I just wanted to write and say how much I appreciated your honesty. I definitely don't agree with a lot of your views, I think a lot of these statements are inherently racist.  But I agree that the term gets thrown around by the media without really dealing with the issues. Thanks for being so honest and not angry in sharing your opinions.

[jesussaysgoinpeace]

Per your request, I will NOT apologize. Regarding Ferraro's racist comments about Obama: As a child, my immigrant parents taught us good manners. They taught us to be kind & speak kindly to others. They taught us to praise others when they do well. Being unkind - does NOT serve anyone. To help you understand ... what it feels like: Seeing you, it may be said you are a repulsive fat broad. You are a lesbian for you do not wear makeup. You are a dirty hippy with dirty hair. Now, how do you feel?

[vitalfinds]

What is insulting about saying that Obama is Black?

[magdah2008]

Nothing. However, Geraldine said the MAIN reason Barack was winning was because he is black. That's obviously ridiculous... there are many more obstacles for minorities to succeed in America. That's why Obama had to have the best planned, best funded, and most successful campaign in order to be even considered viable! Geraldine should apologize and Hillary should reject and denounce Geraldines comments and reject any money that Geraldine raises for her.

[vitalfinds]

He has the best funded campaign because, in part, so many people want to see a Black man win.

[vitalfinds]

BTW, doesn't it show racial progress that someone is claiming that Obama is doing so good because of being a minority rather than doing badly because of it?

[magdah2008]

Sure, it shows progress, but that doesn't excuse Ferraro for belittling Obama's achievement.

Also, Obama has the best funded campaign because he has the most supporters, despite the limitations of being a black candidate. Obama also has also created an unprecidented grassroots organization to support his candidacy.

Also, many people want to see a woman succeed, yet Hillary had to loan herself $5million.

Obama makes things happen, while Hillary just complains when things don't happen.

[Dxun]

What limitations are you talking about? And what things has Obama made happen? Obama, like myself should be considered a Mulatto, so I don't see where you get this limitation for being black from.
