Should Hillary apologize for participating in the racist skit?

1. I'm sure if Bernie had done it there would have been outrage from here to the hills.

[Broward]

2. Yep, there's a huge double standard around here.

We'd never hear the end of it.

[Karmadillo]

3. Look how much coverage the subway token story got. The idea of a Democrat acting in a racist skit in

2016 is appalling. It will be interesting if Wolf Blitzer tries to cover for her during the debate.

11. If he had have done it, he would have been praised for being diverse

Let's not kid ourselves.

[Bread and Circus]

18. Are you remotely serious?

[KingFlorez]

20. Yes

I seriously cannot see Sanders supporters being angry at him if the situation was reversed. It would have been spun into a positive.

[Bread and Circus]

21. I am sure the Hillary supporters here would have had a stroke.

[morningfog]

22. No. They are but a caricature.

4. Now we know what the rich think is funny.

[MisterP]

5. they're already taking Sandernistas to task for daring to complain

it just shows further racism, somehow

[CorkySt.Clair]

10. Complaining?

Is that what they are calling desperate, transparent and ludicrous ploys to advance one's candidate these days?

6. She needs the "hard working white people" vote. She can't apologize.

[apcalc]

7. I just don't get the entire thing.

I find this 'skit' neither offensive nor funny. Mostly it's totally boring. Meh. A waste of time. Nothing here I'd get excited about.

Racist? Seems DeBlasio made the initial comment about CP. Three quarters of his immediate family is black, a black man on stage participating and laughing...
Nope can't say that either.

Really stupid skit tho. Just not funny or worth the words.

15. This ^. nt

[HumanityExperiment]

8. It's like she's daring a certain demographic that strongly supports her to turn against her...

these establishment DEM folks crate the most mind blistering optics... she's literally daring certain demographics that heavily support her to turn against her

[Fumesucker]

9. Absolutely not! Hillary should double...errr. triple down

I bet #LloydBlankfeinsAbuela knows a lot of Mexican jokes.

[KingFlorez]

12. No, because it wasn't racist

The whole CPT joke has been used for quite a long time in the black community. This is the first time I've ever heard a white person use it. It's a very insular joke.

[geek tragedy]

13. I'll let the African-American community figure that out

[CentralCoaster]

14. Hillary should 'almost apologize' and then turn it into a way to teach us something....

..

I think that's what Bill decided was best to do.

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. No, I'm sure her PoC voters won't mind.

I think it's outrageous. But the vast majority didn't balk at the Crime Bill or Welfare Reform, so what does a joke matter?

[CorkySt.Clair]

17. You mean the crime bill Bernie voted for?

[Waiting For Everyman]

19. The assault weapons ban and violence against women act he voted for. nt
