Other than the events in the political primary sport, there's nothing else in Bill's life or past (at least that we all know) that indicates that he's racist. Let's face it, Bill was trying to diminish Obama's South Carolina victory when he compared his victory to Jesse's. There's nothing wrong about demeaning an opponent's victory. Bill was on this thing for his wife. While that particular comment had racial connotations and implications, it (coupled with a few other misjudged remarks by Bill) do not necessary amount to him being racist. He used race to try to score political points no doubt. But that doesn't mean his racist. Darn, even Mr. Obama uses the race card. We all know what he means when he says : "they'll make you think i don't look like the other presidents on the dollar bill". Now, that statement right there, is as good a race card as you can get, politically and we all know it. Is his and Mr. Clinton's statements true? possibly. But neither of them is racist. All they're both guilty of is using the race card!ftroitWed, 06 Aug 2008 17:21:43 -0000http://jackandjillpolitics.disqus.com/why_is_it_when_8216we8217_figure_out_how_to_win_using_the_rules_they8217re_suddenly_changed/#comment-1440802Same thing with Olympics soccer: The Olympics have always allowed for 3 players over the 23-year old limit per team. When in 2000 Cameroon maximized its 3 over-23 year old players and won the olympics soccer cup, the Olympic committee then decided to ban the 3 over-age players they had previously allowed.ftroitThu, 14 Aug 2008 16:02:43 -0000
