It’s clear now, that Hillary would have probably lost the nomination due to strategic decisions made by her campaign based on an outdated model.

I can accept that.

What I can’t accept is the way the media demonized her. I can’t accept the way media painted her supporters. Just because a White person or Latino doesn’t want to vote for Obama doesn’t mean they are racist. As an African American woman , I can’t accept the way I was called a “hankerchief head”, Aunt Jane, house slave, etc for even questioning Obama let alone voting for Clinton.

For me, the coup de grace was that Rules and Bylaws committee meeting and vote. Never in my life did I think I would live to see the day when the Democratic Party who take delegates from one candidate and award them to another. Wait a minute, they simply awarded Obama Michigan delegates (sort of like the Supreme Court awarded GW the presidency). They would not have done that to any male candidate.

I look at the Democratic leaders responsible for the delegate debacle and I listen to the older African American politician leaders who are now rallying around Obama and I can’t help but think, how many of these “leaders” supported (or least didn’t oppose) the nomination of Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, and Ron Paige.

Like a majority of the black institutions (the NAACP and The Urban League come to mind), they supported them wholeheartedly and we see where that has gotten us. One brotha chomping at the bit to overturn Rowe v Wade, another brotha responsible for Every Child Left Behind and a sista who is for all intents and purposes a war criminal guilty of crimes against humanity.

I feel that it’s these leaders who are imposing Obama on everyday Democrats. They are risking the White House and 8 years of McCain for Obama, our nation’s first American Idol president. They are betting it all on a vacuous opportunist who didn’t have a full time job until he was 40.

They can have him. I’m leaving the Democratic Party and voting for the Green Party candidate.
