Hillary Clinton Snubbed: Rutgers Women's Basketball Team Skips Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Michael Amsterdam
Apr 21, 2007
Newsday reports that Clinton had been scheduled to meet with Scarlet Knight coach C. Vivian Stringer and an assistant, and possibly some of the players, Monday to talk with them about Don Imus's "nappy-headed ho" comments. But that sit-down was postponed due to weather and because the story seemed far less significant after the Virginia Tech killings.
***
So - Hillary tried again. After meeting with the Scarlet Knight coach Vivian Stringer Friday morning, Clinton addressed about 700 students and faculty on campus later in the day, praising the players and naming them one-by-one while criticizing "bigotry" against women. But the team took a pass.
"Many of the players were in study hall from eight to noon and some had finals," explained a Rutgers source told Newsday who said the players were "tired" of all the attention. "These young women need to do their classes, and wrap their spring semester."

I applaud those young ladies not allowing Clinton to use them as a campaign stunt. |

Yep! She's just trying to milk it for race points just like every single social commentary pundit, obnoxious talk show host (TV and radio) and wannabe political ambulance chaser -from hacks like Sean Hannity on the right and Al Sharpton on the left. It's disgusting.

Everybody is capitalizing off of this brouhaha. Even the coach of the Rutgers basketball team, who had unsuccessfully been shopping her autobiography around for the past year, now has an offer from a publisher. Me being me, I'm becoming cynical. I beginning to think the young ladies of Rutgers have been somewhat exploited. I wonder if everybody else hadn't raised so much hell, whether or not they wouldn't have just dismissed Don Imus as being a crazy ol white dude and forgot about the whole thing, especially since none of them had nappy hair styles. |

Obama "snubbed" by Black audience
San Francisco Chronicle
Obama: Blacks as guilty as Imus
He appeals to African Americans to stop using
same degrading speech as shock jock
Patrick Healy, New York Times
Sunday, April 22, 2007
(04-22) 04:00 PDT New York -- Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois told several hundred black political organizers Saturday that African Americans had been "complicit in diminishing ourselves" by talking about blacks in the same sort of degrading terms that the radio host Don Imus recently used to describe the Rutgers women's basketball team.
"I've heard those words around the kitchen tables," Obama said, speaking to members of the Rev. Al Sharpton's group, the National Action Network. "All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves, and engaging in the kind of self-hatred that keeps our young men and young women down. That's something we have to talk about in this election."
Several audience members applauded or nodded in response; they did, too, when Obama said he did not want African Americans' votes simply because he is black.
"That's not what America is about," he said. "I want it to be because of what I've done, and how I've lived, and the principles I stand for, and the ideas I promote." He promised to improve the public education and health care systems, and affirmed his long-standing opposition to the war in Iraq.
While the audience warmly received Obama, it was not an especially rousing affair. One of his rivals in the Democratic primary, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., received more standing ovations when she spoke Friday to the group, which was holding its ninth annual convention.
Obama called the group "the Urban Action Network" three times before a few audience members audibly corrected him. Obama simply said the correct word -- "national" -- and moved on.
Obama and Clinton are both competing for the endorsement of Sharpton, who said he would make his choice from among the Democratic field in a few weeks. (Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and other candidates spoke to the group over the last four days.)
Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have been courting Sharpton, said Sharpton's associates. Clinton has been determined to lock up political and fundraising support on her home turf, and a Sharpton endorsement would help with her task of vying for African American votes against Obama.
Obama and Sharpton have good ties, but associates of Sharpton say he feels a natural rivalry with Obama; Sharpton ran for president in 2004 and has worked to become an influential and visible leader in black and Democratic politics.
The Sharpton-Obama-Clinton dynamic was made unusually plain at one point Saturday when Obama, pausing in his remarks, looked at the podium and said, "There's something humming down here."
"That's Sharpton's BlackBerry," Obama added, and then quickly quipped, "Is that Hillary calling?"
As the audience laughed, he said: "I was just checking. I wasn't sure."

He caught my attention with the mention of Black self-hatred and a national discussion regarding such.

It would have been better, though, had he said,
"That's something we WILL talk about in this election."
Oh, well.

LOL
It would have been a good strategy if it wasn't so transparent. Not even the mainstream is slow enough on the uptake to buy that. |

But I like him though and I will vote for him until my "arms get tired". I have mad respect for this man!!!!
MAD RESPECT!!!!
It takes a special kind of man with a self-loathing Black father and an overbearing White mother to actually love his African roots and want to produce "Blackness".
Malcolm X was the only other Black man in history who did that!! |

Something TOLD me he was going to do that!
How did I KNOW he was going to politicize "self-hate" - couch it in the politics of "personal responsibility"...?
He had that Kennedy thing going on though...lol!

I was going to vote for him too Renata but if he keeps up with this self hate crapola I'm outta there this is not the oppropriate space for race attacks and Im sick of Africans preaching dirty laundry addressed to African Americans. He needs to leave the colorism issues in his books and it was overdone there too! just being honest. Insecure people are insecure not self hating. |

Hi Dobes. Where ya been, babe? Ready for the NBA play-offs? Ain't it terrible the toll Kobe's ego has taken on the Lakers? Serves him right. (I'll probably have to eat these words later.) Without a super star the ol Bulls are going to try and bedazzle the heat with mediocrity and contain Shaq by "committee". I know you aren't worried about the Pistons. Much. |

I hate Hillary Clinton. Actually I hate her husband Bill and only hate her by association.
If she would get rid of that skunk I might support her. |

What would you do if you didn't have the axis of hate to rotate on, chrishayden? If you weren't so devastated by dashed hopes then you wouldn't be so disillusioned. You need to mellow out. |

cyniuq : i am rooting for the bulls to beat miami, guess it really doesn't matter in the long run the winner will go home when they are done playing detroit.
sausageswallower: nothing you say could go over anyones head. your thoughts and philosphies are about as deep as mountain top. i will give you your props though, you have been holding down the punkbitch title for years, it's amazing ... once your stankin ass mama gracefully bowed down, you have never looked back and have represented the punkbitch title relentlessly. with the world full of so many punkbitches none of them can compete with you, how do you do it? your whole family is a punkbitch dynasty good thing your brother has kids, because two men can't give birth so make sure when your nephews come to your cradboard box that you and your boyfriend him show him the way. |

I guess it "takes a punkbitch to know a punkbitch!!!
But let me tell you at least this punkbitch has enough pride not to act like some slave to a 400Ibs White dominatrix like yo punkbitch daddy.
At least this punkbitch has enough pride not to dance around like "Uncle Remus" while his White co-workers tell him stupid ass, stories about White women masturbating themselves to death with broomhandles.
At least this punkbitch has enough pride in himself not to go around on Black message boards and bore the readers with his "silly" obsession of sleeping with White women.

lol that was even weaker than your normal comebacks, but at least you admitted that your a punkbitch three times ... still holding it down.
and yes you not only listen to white people tell similar stories but you pay for it while i was getting paid when i heard it. everytime your dumb ass picks up one of those tabloids from what ever corner store you steal stuff from.
and you don't have pride, your a fag who gave himself a woman's name and you posts the dumbest stuff ever and you make the dumbest comments ... there not even funny, there just like you ... stupid. |
