Geraldine Ferraro Welcomes Barack Obama to Black Camp
THE Presidential Race is bought to you in conjunction with Sky Plus. You record the whole show, fast forward the bits where the agonists talk about policiezzz and societiezzz and affairzzzz and get to the good bit.
The latest pause, rewind, play, play and play to death is the segment where the former Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro says:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any colour) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
Ferraro sounds like one of those fat champ counsellors, only on a Black Camp. But you’re a beautiful person, she says to the black kid. You need to embrace yourself and learn to love yourself. You are lucky to be you. You are more then little black kid. You are a concept.
She then shows him pictures of Black Camp’s founding fathers, Al Jolson, Michael Jackson and Vanilla Ice…

The country was in turmoil
With new crises by the hour
When one in three were out of work
The Party swept to power;
As life returned to normal
Law and order won the day
While all our rights and liberties
Were voted clean away…
They were cynical and ruthless
They’d manipulate the news
And smear or persecute the few
Who dared to leak the truth
Opponents had their phone tapped
And campaigners felt the heat
With terror suspects accidently
Gunned down in the street
But the radio and papers said
The same thing every day
The government is wonderful
The country’s doing great
And if someone else was suffering
They’d got themselves to blame
Don’t say if you were in our shoes
You wouldn’t do the same
And say
We didn’t know what was going on…
We didn’t know what was going on…
From Tel Aviv to Capetown
From Shanghai to East Berlin
From Washington to Panama…
The years have come and been
From Delhi to Sri Lanka
From Whitehall to Coleraine
The times may be a-changing
But the story’s still the same
Cos the radio and papers say
The same thing every day
The government is wonderful
The country’s doing great;
And if someone else is suffering
They’ve got themselves to blame
Don’t say now you are in our shoes
That you won’t do the same
And say
We didn’t know what was going on…
We didn’t know what was going on…
