Geraldine Ferraro is a broken record.

I normally wouldn’t bother posting this, I’d just send it to friends, but Bijan made it clear I have to blog about this sort of thing.

Ferraro quit Clinton’s campaign after saying:

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.

Regardless of who you are or aren’t supporting in this election, that was a racist comment. But it’s not her first time spouting this crap. Back in 1988, she said:

If Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn’t be in the race.
