Surfacing Archetypes in Political Statements

Current political debates, points, counter-points, and statements made by political leaders such as Ms. Clinton and Mr. Clinton are revealing their chronic social, racial, and cultural prejudices. The prejudices they have lived with and masked during their life through their rationalizations and various forms of psychological, social, political, and cultural work, so it seems.
For some examples, read blog briefs at http://commentaryplus.blogspot.com titled Defence or Bias; Archetypes Coming to Surface.

Recent statement of Ms. Geraldine Ferraro published in Los Angeles Times blog dated 3/11/08 states that "If Barack Obama was a White man, he would not be in this position...."
Well, it's about time Ms. Ferraro to consider alternate thinking, feeling, self analysis, and analysis, or and any other forms of psychological, social, and cultural therapy that may suit her for her mental well being. In doing so, since Ms. Ferraro is a political leader, she could , in my humble opinion, help in building not destroying our nation's mental health.

Time to ponder......
