I’m thinking to myself about the South Carolina Primary.  In the general election Barrack Obama or Hilary could not, no way, no how carry that state.  So why are we getting all excited about it or maybe thinking long term about Barack or Hilary.  I mean to say that south of the Mason Dixon Line from the Atlanta Ocean to the New Mexico border with Texas there are men and women who wouldn’t vote for a black man or a white women. I not talking a few, I talking a whole bunch. Ain’t no lie about that Maser. They still live in the world of the old South with dreams of a war still dancing in their heads with their own great heroes and villains. They still use the ‘N’ word as it dances tippingly on the tongue. The part of the country where its a four syllable word. It’s the home of lynching and stuff that make the heart beat faster from fear even in us white folks. It is the home of men like Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham.  Segregationists in a time when the word is seldom used by anyone black or white. It’s the world of code words and winks of the eye. It’s goes underground from time to time. This being one of the times.  This is the true base of the new Republican Party. Its the reddest of the red states. Even with  those shiny cities of today it still holds on to the past.  If there is any illusions that Barrack or Hillary could either one take the South, somesone has been eating wild mushrooms.  As Fred Thompson said in his southern draw and capturing the true essence of the South. “We don’t need no woman in the White House.”  We are talking about the place where the words ‘little lady’ started.  The first generation of people who didn’t have 14 teen or 15 teen kids. ”Barefoot and pregnant ” another one of the fine phrases that started deep down under the MD Line.  It’s not that men don’t love their women folk they do. Women from there know their place and love it as rightfully they should. That is their way. So don’t expect a wild rush to vote for a black man or a white women in South Carolina. Oh, you can expect the big ‘Media Noise’ to reign supreme as it always does. Acting like they care if either one of the Democratic candidate does well.  I think we are used to them by now.  Presidency will not be won by the black voter.  Whether we want to believe it or not, they are probably irrelevant.  They can’t be trusted to deliver come election day. The white vote will win or lose the election of any candidate.  Hilary speaks the truth about Barrack but everyone thinks she just being mean.  Sometimes the truth is mean.  She made the point that Martin Luther King was great for the black movement but it was  LBJ that put into motion the necessary events that put us on the road to trying to have some equality for all Americans.  What is wrong with that statement?  It is true.  We have learn from George Bush to think from one catastrophe to the next. Hilary might just be talking about something different, we can start looking toward for something better.  I think if we become Bushites in reverse, living in a world of prism truths then it will be a mistake.  This is not “Guess who is coming to Dinner.”  Barrack is not the savior as George Bush was not for the Republicans. We only get one savior per generation.  Hilary is not the savior either.  We need to stop looking for magic there is not out there.  We know Hilary well. Like we know George Bush well.  Hilary like George Bush brings the emotions to the surface. What happens, will be up to America. I would love to see a black man as President but I know what is waiting for him and us. I can hear the talking maggot head of fascist radio like rabid dogs in the noon day sun.  I know what us Americans have in store for either candidate.  The hate and fear mongers are shaping their skills.  Not for a moment, do any of us doubt it. Lets see how wonderful our Yellow Press will be then when they join in and side with the Right.  The mass media is here to misinform and act like they really care about America and her future.
