Clinton Ignorance: "I値l tell you another story about a place where Black Lives Matter: Africa"
There was so much wrong with Bill Clinton's pushback on BLM, but this takes the cake. This is offensive beyond words.
Little history for Bill Clinton. African Americans (descendants of slaves) have the deepest ties to America out of the all the major ethnic groups in America (Native Indians being the first). They were here before the Irish, Italians, Scots, etc. America's foundations were built on their blood and tears. If anyone can claim to be Americans it is them.
His statement instantiated that Black people are really from Africa, and somehow BLM (by extension black people) should be concerned Africa because they are Africans. AA are first and most importantly Americans. Of all the ethnic groups, they have the least ties to the old world. You only hear this type of talk from White Supremacist who feel AA are Africans and should be send back to Africa.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Because I have no fucking idea what point he was trying to make.
Was it what OP said or is he commenting on the plight of native POC living in an African country?
was your point Mr. Clinton because I'd honestly like to know.
