Racist Wop!

Ferraro is a racist Wop! Always has been, always will be. Part of Ferraro's racism is due to her ethnic background and part of it is due to jealousy.

Historically, the word Wop is a term of derision and associated with an Italian with overbearing and cocky attitude. A Wop was a thug. A Dago is different. A Dago is an Italian who is a little rough around the edges and not fully assimilated in the "new" country. A Dago is okay. A Wop is trouble.

Clearly, Ferraro is a Wop. She is married to a Wop, John Zaccaro, who at the time of her Vice-Presidential race had borrowed $175K from a widow's trust fund to shore up his real estate business. The visibility of the campaign forced the return of the funds.

Ferraro served three terms in the House of Representatives. Her career has been essentially stalled out since she left the House to be Mondale's Vice-Presidential running mate in 1984. She made a couple of attempts to return to Washington but was defeated each time.

Her racist tendencies appeared twenty years ago, in 1988, when she said that Jesse Jackson was a radical and was "running for President only because he was Black."

I thing she possesses some jealousy because time passed her by. She was a "first" in 1984, but never really accomplished much before or after. Interestingly, in 1984, it is clear that she was only chosen because she was a woman.
