Dear Carolyn,
You go girl! I just love the fact that we have a sistah ronning for president. You are a credit to your race and I cannot believe that the citizens of Indiana didn't reelect you to the Senate. I myself can't support you for the top spot because, being Jewish, I have to support Jack Looberman. I would really like Bill Clinton (the best president this country ever had) to run again and be president for life, but I hear there is something in the Constitution that says he can't. Darn it. I thought it was a living document. Can't we change it?
Anyway, Karen, I would like to see either you or Al Sharpmen as the vice-presidential candidate and I will be contributing money to both of your campaigns. I will also suggest that to level the playing field, we use affirmative action and give each of you an additional 200 delegates to the Democratic convention. No. That's not enough. Let's make it 400.
I really don't understand Cynthia McKinney who lost her seat to represent the people of Alabama. What does she have against the Jews? As I wrote on my website:
I see people trying to divide the unity of Blacks and Jews, in particular. We can’t allow this to happen, because we have too much in common to be divided. With a shared history of oppression and slavery, as well as a common ingrained culture of social justice, Blacks and Jews, over the years and still today, have been natural allies.
In fact, Blacks and Jews have a long and important history of working together. African-Americans and Jews came together to form the NAACP, the Urban League and to improve education in the South. African-American battalions helped liberate the concentration camps during World War II. One-third of the Civil Rights Movement supporters were Jewish. In Mississippi in 1964, three young men, one African-American and two Jewish, were killed by white extremists on their way to investigate the burning of a black church.
So why do she and her father hate Jews so much? If I could just have her talk to my maid, Shamika ... Oh, wait, I had to let her go. Juanita is now my maid. Maybe I could get her to talk to Danny Glover. Wait. You're Black. Maybe you could talk to her. Tell her that I'm Jewish and I love African-Americans. Some of my best friends are African-Americans. I'm a big supporter of civil rights and I know a lot about civil rights. I've given lots of money to civil rights organizations which makes me an expert.
Finally Cheryl, I've asked many people this question but no one has answered it. Who does Earl Sharpton's hair?
Best of luck in the primaries. You go girl!
Luv ya,
Babs
