Here’s a video of Andrew Young’s comment about Bill Clinton being just as black as Barack Obama and probably having gone out with more black women than Obama. He also makes a pretty stupid statement about Hillary and neutralizing all the women Bill had ever dated. Inquiring minds want to know more about that particular Defense Committee’s activities…Read my reaction to the black women thing here.

Its no joke — this is the voice of arrogance.

Well, Jack and Jill did TWO posts on this lunacy:
Andrew Young – go somewhere and sit down
Andrew Young – I hereby revoke your Black Card
Another FYI for you, sagrereader. I’m going to do it also, but check out the transcripts for Friday’s Hardball. Shelby Steele actually had the nerve to say that Hillary Clinton was Blacker than Barack Obama. I need the exact quote, because it seems like this is some sort of talking points memo, does it not? And we need to expose it and nail them about it.

Out of all those “black women who have gone with Bill”, how many were willing participants, and how many were forced into it by sexual and power abuse, and/or rape?
We need THIS back in the white house?

Bill commits adultery with many black women, so he is blacker than a black man, so vote for Bill’s wife. Obama does not commit adultery, so he is not as black as Bill. You see, all black men commit adultery, and that is a signal of their manhood and just how black they are. If you have a wife and don’t cheat on her, you are not worthy of a black persons vote, huh?
The black slave owners and slave overseerers also had sex with lot’s of black women. Did that make their wives qualified to be president of the united states?
This is some of the sickest stuff to ever come out of the Clinton sewers.

I think Andrew Young really lost it. First Spokeperosn for Wal-Mart, then his support for Paul Wolfowitz who later was fired from his poistion as World Bank President, now this strange arguments about why Senator Clinton? Because her husband had gome with more black women than Obama!!!!!!!!! I think the problem of Andrew Young and many other black leaders like him, is they can’t simply accept the fact that someone outside their dynasty or self-centered elite can become a serious president contender. I am not an Obama supporter but I believe its time for blacks in this country to decide freely without someone like Andrew Young telling them who should run now and who should run 2016.

[...] "Bill is every bit as black as Barack," he said. "He has probably gone out with more black women than Barack."Ah, voter outreach. –Christopher Orr Update: Video here. [...]

Aside from the obvious, hilarious/horrifying jaw-dropper stuff, the first clip struck me as very revealing in that Young’s praise of H at O’s expense seemed to be all about cronyism, which is what “built relationships” means – a world of political mutual back-scratching. Young wants her patronage, because he’s invested in it.

i’m sad but not horribly surprised. our old guad is like saul in the bible when david came up.
i’ll pray for them all. have seen it again and again and that it why we have not the continous upward develpment of our leaders. unfortunately they will not be the determinants of next generations. they don’t understand the role that God gave them..
