Black Dem Blasts 'Plantation' Hillary Clinton
A high profile black Democrat in New York City is blasting Hillary Clinton for playing racial politics with her Martin Luther King Day tribute, saying her use of the term "plantation" was "condescending" to African Americans.
"I think her speech was contrived and condescending," City Councilman Charles Barron told ABC Radio's Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
"I don't like the idea that she used 'plantation' with a black audience," Barron complained. "I think that's a very serious analogy and I understand when we [blacks] use it from time to time. But that has been a very horrific experience. And the Democrats haven't [treated] us a whole lot better than the Republicans."
Barron, a former Black Panther who sat behind Mrs. Clinton as she addressed the King Day gathering at Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church, said he had no problem with the other part of her comments.
"I agree with her that [the Bush administration] has been the worst administration in the history of America," Barron said.

Notice a trend here?
Hillary should know about plantations as the democrats have had blacks on there for years.

AS IF HRC has ever had to live under circumstances such as those, bestowing on her the right to say "you know what I mean".
Yeah.....they knew what she meant for real, and I'm glad she jerked the covers off herself AGAIN!
Hillary's next speech: "Don' fret yo bushy little haids 'bout no politics nohow chil'un./ Y'all set a spell while Aunt Hillary rustles you up some scrumptious pancakes."
Not that any of the radio/TV stations would choose to cover such an event.....
Oh, shut up, Barron.
Hey watch it! Otherwise, 'gettin da Buckwheats' is going to happen to Dan Rather and the Dems again.
I looked over a guys shoulder reading on the train this morning; there was a picture with the line 'Colin Powell with a "real" black man'.
You forgot Jimmie Carter and Bill Clinton - Surely it's a 3-way tie.
I was sorely tempted to break my cover at DUI'm over there too. And sometimes I have that same temptation. Mostly, though, I say nothing. Just reading that tripe is satisfaction enough. If they are the best the left has, the left isn't just wrong, it's stupid and sad as well.
...Hillary Clinton is NOT the smartest woman in the world...
Her problem is that she immediately followed it up with, "and you know what I'm talking about." (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) And I agree with Barron that that's totally patronizing and condescending, not that that should come as any big surprise from her.
He's right! After all, all a Republican ever did was FREE THEM! They CHOOSE to be enslaved by the Democraps!
this is the REAL hilllereeee....pandering to her audience. When will people see her for what she really is??????????? We've seen it all along. her and her ole willie are both the same. 2006 and neithr of them has changed one iota. That's why she is so stale, old, stuffy, musty and going backwards instead of forwards. She's a joke. A real joke. There is NO WAY she could EVER represent our great country as President. NO way. She does not have the smarts. Period!
You know, I was beginning to have my doubts, as well.
