Black Man Supports Hillary Clinton

Hey, did you know that both Barack Obama and Michael Nutter are black? Yes, I know, now that racism no longer exists it’s hard to remember who’s black and who’s white nowadays, but both the frontrunner for the presidential election and the current mayor of Philadelphia have a high melanin count.

And, what do you know, Nutter is supporting Hillary Clinton, who is not only not male but is white!

Vivian McCabe, a grandmother, neighborhood block captain and supporter of both Mr. Nutter and Mr. Obama, expressed the frustration in a sidewalk interview the other day. “I was shocked,” she said, referring to Mr. Nutter’s endorsement of Mrs. Clinton. “Not because he’s black, but — I was just looking at him to…” She paused. “What words should I use?” she said. She could not come up with any.

How do we describe why people are surprised at the black mayor supporting a white candidate without mentioning race? Damn, I don’t think we can! And when will Bob Brady support Hillary Clinton (his fellow white person) like he’s supposed to!

    I’m so over Little Pete’s.

  2. George Says: Apr 14 2:39 PM

    I’m glad. Now I don’t feel so alone. Nutter recognizes climbing the political ladder. If Obama was running 8 years from now, I’d vote for him. Hillary gets my vote on April 22 in Philadelphia.
