I say this as a Clinton supporter. There is no doubt that the frat house over at MSNBC hated her. Can we really say that Keith Olbermann, who openly advocated violence against Clinton by calling for a superdelegate to "take Clinton into a room until only he comes out," was fair? Honestly, why should we take this guy who got kicked off of ESPN seriously? Chris Matthews was bitter because he thought he would get to be press secretary in the Clinton Administration and has never gotten over not getting the post. They aren't the only ones, though. Sadly, the "news" is to journalism what WWE is to wrestling. But does it matter now? It is over. It is time to move on.

I will not vote for Obama, but I still can help out in my community. I think Democrats should either unite around that guy or do what I am doing: find ways to make a difference in your own communities. I donate money, legal services, and time as often as I can. Political life is not and should not be limited to voting in our de facto two party system. Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama can withdraw from the process and build a legacy beyond pointless complaining about the Mickey Mouse operations that are our mainstream media outlets.

Sen. McCain is unworthy of the votes of Clinton supporters. I will admit I was, at one point, angry enough to vote for McCain simply out of spite for Obama. We should not lower ourselves to vote for someone like him. Clinton supporters could build a much better legacy for ourselves by working for social change at a grassroots level. It is not our job to elect Obama or sabotage him. Let his supporters and McCain supporters slug it out. It would be a far bolder statement if we left the Democratic party to the Obama camp who truly have the support of the party leadership. They want us out. They want our votes, not our voices. We would avoid the "spoiler" smear that will most certainly come our way if Obama loses if we undertook a social mission in the name of Sen. Clinton, not in the name of undermining Obama.

Lots of people think Sen. Clinton is an awful person. We will never change that. We believe in her and the issues to which she has dedicated her efforts and the people to whom she has dedicated her her work. Let's engage those issues and those people. They deserve our attention far more than MSNBC aka Chris Phi Keith do.

What I do not like is the perpetuation of the "one drop rule." I believe that on both sides of my family some of my female ancestors were raped by white men. Maybe I will go around calling myself white. I have asked the following question over again and I have yet to hear an answer: If I were to accept the premise that Obama is biracial in the sense that he does have a racially black parent, how come he is called black and not white? He is equal parts, mind you, but I have to have him shoved down my racial throat. How would the country respond if Obama self-identified as a white man? By your metric, he has equal claim to it? Might it be because it would make him less sexy as a candidate? Might it be because it would cause people to double over laughing?

I cannot speak for Sen. Obama or his experience with discrimination. I do not live with him and can only judge his public persona and decide what I believe. I do know that he joined Trinity to build up his "street cred" with a black community in Chicago with whom he had no roots. I also know that his cynicism in that instance came back to haunt him. I think Rev. Wright is a brilliant biblical scholar who is well learned and versed, so this is not an attack on that church. He has attempted to be Barry when it was politically expedient and Barack when it was politically expedient. If you disagree with that, I cannot change your mind.

I may be taking an extremely hard line on this, but it is annoying to have white people tell me how I should be so proud and be so happy that he is running for president. I have been black a few more minutes than white people have and I wish they would do me the courtesy of allowing me to decide what to be proud of as a black woman. I realize that my fellow black voters did themselves a great disservice when they flocked to Obama's aid when someone raised the racism bogeyman. It is a product of what I term "the OJ mentality." OJ did not want anything to do with black people, but once Johnny Cochran cried racism, many black people came running. I am disturbed by the trend of black people rallying around someone just because someone calls him black and then says he is a victim of racism.

Anyway, all of this is a moot point when it comes to the Democratic primary. Regardless of how I feel about him, he won that race and he will get the votes of many Clinton supporters. He will not be getting mine.
