What morons

'The Red Phone in Black and White'

NY Times Op-Ed Contributor -- Orlando Patterson

ON first watching Hillary Clinton’s recent “It’s 3 a.m.” advertisement, I was left with an uneasy feeling that something was not quite right — something that went beyond my disappointment that she had decided to go negative. Repeated watching of the ad on YouTube increased my unease. I realized that I had only too often in my study of America’s racial history seen images much like these, and the sentiments to which they allude.

... I have spent my life studying the pictures and symbols of racism and slavery, and when I saw the Clinton ad’s central image — innocent sleeping children and a mother in the middle of the night at risk of mortal danger — it brought to my mind scenes from the past. ... continued

I just saw this guy, Orlando Patterson, who is a sociology professor at Harvard, on Hardball and he and Chris Matthews both said they saw a racist message in Hillary Clinton's 3AM ad.

Yeah, like all people who think there's some big bad and evil black guy lurking outside their window would call Hillary at the White House.

Give it a rest. That bullshit is getting old.
