Today, I begin with a simple question? What the fuck?
Really, democrats, do you need a Black mama to threaten to smack the blue offa you, if you don’t act right?
Ask yourself two questions and get back to me.
- What has Secretary Clinton done to you?
- What has Donald Trump done for you?
The burn you will feel if Hillary is not president will come from global warming.
I really don’t know why people don’t like Hillary Clinton. She has spent her life in public service.
I also don’t care why people don’t like Hillary Clinton. Don’t like her. Hate her. But you gon’ have to vote her.
This is the part in the action movie where the warring factions come together to take down a bigger enemy. ‘Come with me if you wanna live.’ That’s Hillary talking to you.
It’s the moment in Assault of Precinct 13 with Laurence Fishburne and Ethan Hawke agree to put ‘their shit on pause.’
If Hill and Bern have put their shit on pause, all you uncredited, faceless extras need to get over it.
Getting over something is actually linked to privilege. Some of us have to get over it while others of us can take our own sweet time or never get over it.
Let’s take Bernie. I never saw how the old, white guy, was the progressive candidate.
And wouldn’t you know, when a woman secured the nomination and made history, that old, white man, sure did seem like a regular old white guy, overlooking HERstory. He never had to get over it, because he didn’t accept it until months later. What brown or LGBTQ person could keep running a race er’body knows they lost? That’s privilege, regular, old non-progressive privilege.
For many of us, for generations, elections have been about choosing the lesser of two evils. I was excited when I voted for my first president, Bill Clinton, and I thought I would break when he came on TV to apologize.
Of course, that’s part of the reason, some of you don’t like her. However, where was the outrage when we turned into England (the place we ran from) for a minute with the Bush monarchy of King/Father and Prince/Son.
Look, I get why you mad at Bill (though not why you are still holding on to that anger), but I’d rather have a Rhodes Scholar former president as a first gentleman than half-nude model, wifey #3. Despite Bill’s personal flaws, the Clintons have done a lot for many. Bill is a Rhodes Scholar, right? If Fox ain’t gotta fact check, I don’t have to either!
I will admit, I’ve been a little slow to understand the bern-ing love, but on Wednesday well past my bedtime, I suddenly stop singing Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and began waling “I can’t live if living is without you,” over and over again.
So I get it now, Cooley High and Boys II Men got it right, “it’s so (friggin’) hard to say goodbye to yesterday.” I do think Bernie has been great moving to nominate our girl and not falling for the email bait. I feel it now. I feel the Bern. Let’s use that fire lighted underneath us to move our girl back down south!
