WASHINGTON - While the debate rages on about whether Geraldine Ferraro’s comments about Barack Obama were racist, there’s no doubt that what she said was ignorant.
Or to be kinder, perhaps just uniformed.
To recap, Ferraro told a reporter, “If Obama was a white man he wouldn’t 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.”
Essentially, Ferraro said being African American gives Obama an advantage. Either that or he’s getting preferential treatment because he’s black.
