African American super predators.
African American super predators.
I remember the 90s. I remember Bill Clinton’s Sister Souljah moment. I remember Bill Clinton flying back to Arkansas to personally supervise the execution of a black man so mentally compromised he asked to save the dessert from his last meal for later. You can contextualize Hillary Clinton’s super-predator remarks by…
That’s a fair point. Still, these lobbyists support her (and supported Bill, when he ran) for a reason. She’s unlikely to change the status quo once she gets into office (although I’ll grant that she has said she will change things), and these lobbyists know that. That’s why they haven’t aligned with Bernie at all.

So now BLM are bernie-bros?
Jezebel also refuses to address issues with Hillary like Haiti, Honduras, and her strong encouragment of fracking overseas (especially in Bulgaria) while she was Secretary of State. In fact, the only people regularly calling her on it are Mother Jones and the Intercept (with WaPo surprisingly going after her for Haiti…
You should probably read what he said about the bill though, because he voted for it because expanded protections against women and because the House version also had a ban on assault weapons (but I guess that makes it harder to see him as a gun nut who is anti-women like the Clinton camp likes to portray him). In…
If all that bill did was put murderers in prison, do you think anyone would be protesting it?
Both of the Clintons have received campaign money from private prison lobbies for years. It’s not all that surprising to me that Bill has these views. I’d like to hope that Hillary is less so, but she promised she’d stop accepting funds from private prison lobbies last year and didn’t. She gets the same amount of…
But it’s not just that. We could start at the beginning, and recall that Bill Clinton got elected by forcing the execution of a severely mentally handicapped man (mental age of approximately five) in order to prove to white people that he was not soft on either crime or black people. That alone turns my stomach, but…
Yeah, he did support welfare reform that hurt black people. He defended that in this rant as well. He’s a mess.
Because those politicians, unlike you, feel like they are better than black people and feel like they know better than black people. Many of them also cannot fathom being challenged by black people, particularly in the non-respectable way that Black Lives Matter does it.
My mom said that he always reminded her of a crooked southern preacher.
Bill apologized for it until he defended it today so that “apology” is meaningless.
Thanks for writing this article. Most of the commenters on Jezebel are being really obtuse about this. If Bill Clinton had spoke as condescendingly to female activists speaking on abortion, they would up in arms accusing him of being patronizing, mansplaining, etc.. The way so many white Jezebel commenters have…
If I said something shitty 15 years ago, and I regretted it, and I was being reamed about it, yeah, I would put on my big girl pants and deal with it straight on.
Cool, bro. Doesn’t sound like you have any deep-seated issues at all. You’re probably a perfectly normal, successful human being.
What century did you write this comment from?
BLM is the sole reason these issues are even being discussed on a national level right now. I’d say that validates their methods, however inconvenient they happen to be for political campaigns.
