Is Harold Ford Being Discriminated Against Because of his Wife?

Hillbuzz thinks so:

There’s been lots of buzz in recent days about Harold Ford Jr. primary challenging Kirsten Gillibrand in New York.

The reason Ford won’t win that challenge is the blond woman in this photo with him: his wife.

The black community does not support a black candidate “with the wrong wife”, as we’ve heard it put.

We have REPEATEDLY been told on the Southside that the reason Dr. Utopia got the black vote to lockstep support him was because of his choice of Michelle. She’s mean-spirited, coarse, crude, and unapologetically buys into the Black Liberation Theory insanity espoused by Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United, and all the other black community leaders who maintain their sway over the black community by race-baiting and grievance-mongering to blame everyone’s problems not on their own laziness or mistakes, but on “people keeping us down”.

Dr. Utopia needed a Michelle to give him credibility in the black community.

Black women, in particular, HATE (with a passion), white women who marry black men. They won’t vote for black men who marry white women.

Harold Ford needs lockstep black support to win that primary challenge in New York, let alone win the general election. He is just not going to get it because of the blond he married.

Go ahead and get all crazy in comments over this — and we are not saying it is right — we are just being realistic here. We’ve been told this over and over again by black politicians and 30 year veterans of black political campaigns: Harold Ford’s political future was toast the moment he said “I do”.

That’s when he lost the black vote.

White people don’t care who he married.

Black people do…because this is the situation where they will not blindly race-vote for someone who looks like them, when the person he’s married to happens to be white.
