The first video below is brilliantly funny. Watch it, it won’t disappoint. It pokes fun at the Clinton campaign for invoking race while rejecting it. After watching I started thinking if such a thing were even possible.

First, the racial highlights of the campaign: (1) There was Bill Clinton’s Jesse Jackson remark in S. Carolina. (2) The whole which candidate can own MLK day fiasco. (3) The recent comments made by Clinton supporter and former VP candidate, Geraldine Ferraro. If you haven’t read the quote, here it is: If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position…. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept. What sticks out here is its grammatical incorrectness. Was should be were. Just kidding. To be fair, I posted a video of Ferraro defending herself. It’s the link at the bottom of the page. It’s also worth noting that HRC said that she disagreed with the statement. And by now we know, Ferraro resigned from Clinton’s finance committee.

I’m skeptical of all those who say that Hillary has “played the race card.” Obviously, to do it overtly, would be political suicide. I think Bill Clinton’s Jesse Jackson comment was taken out of context as was Hillary’s MLK blunder. Watch Ferraro defend herself. She does a decent job but I have to admit that her explanation left me a little unsatisfied. So if Hillary were to play the race card, it would have to be so subtle as to be undetectable…. or…. she would have to invoke race passively while rejecting it as the first video suggests. But if Clinton thinks there’s any truth to what Ferraro said, it would only help Obama to passively paint him as the black candidate.
