Hillary participated in the racist joke to divert attention from Bill's racist rant.

[morningfog]

Hillary's was fun racism! It was a silly and safe racist joke, with an African American actor and white man with a black family.

That's the kind or racist statement we can all find just a little uncomfortable, but yuck it up in the end.

This happy racist bit diverts attention from Bill's ugly racist rant, assailing Black Lives Matter as ignorant liars who support murderers hopped up on crack while ignoring the good Hillary has done for the black lives of Africans.

1. What the fuck is black lives of Africans?

Please white ppl spare us your faux outrage on shit you have no understanding of.

[morningfog]

2. Who's outraged? I can and will comment on the pass the Clintons

get. They've earned the right to make racist statements, apparently.

[giftedgirl77]

5. I don't give a damn that you make a comment about the Clinton's.

I have a problem with you trying to turn a very common phrase for us into some sort of manufactured outrage on our behalf.

[morningfog]

9. It doesn't matter if it's a common phrase for you.

there are other words and phrases which are commonly use in various communities which would not be accepted or dismissed if who're people adopted them for a political joke.

[giftedgirl77]

28. Except it was a play on words for something totally accepted within our circles.

White ppl do say it as well, it's an accepted phrase which is probably why DeBlasio said it. But your concern is duly noted.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. I wonder how many of these outraged folks are actively involved in their local city or town

working to end red lining, I wonder if they even know what that is!

3. it is what Bill Clinton said in his defense of Hillary

[giftedgirl77]

6. In defense of HRC?

Must have missed that one.

16. He was extolling her good works in Africa to the protester.

“I’ll tell you another story about a place where Black Lives Matter: Africa,” Clinton said.

“The other day, I started my day with a picture that was sent to me on my iPad of a little guy running a store—he wasn’t very tall—in Tanzania in Dar es Salaam. You know what his store said? All it was was little crafts. It said ‘The Hillary Clinton’ store. Now why did he say that? Because the first thing that she did as Secretary of State was triple the number of people in Africa whose lives we were saving from AIDS by going to all low-cost price drugs, the same thing she wants to do for the American people if we give her a chance.”

17. A series of offensive, tone-deaf and racists statements from Bill Clinton, but Hillary "CP" Clinton

has moved the conversation.

[Go Vols]

32. Hasn't moved far,

talking about it on CNN now.

[ViseGrip]

14. It was in defense of HIS policies, that's what 'triggered' him....

for everywhere he goes he's a major celebrity, with all the handlers around him. Little did he know....voters today would be living in the Bill Clinton/NAFTA/CAFTA/PRIVATE PRISON/END OF GLASS STEAGALL/STUDEND DEBT world. He's campaigning right smack (oh and don't forget the continuing drug wars) in the middle of that age groups lives.

8. Bill Clinton said at that speech where he chewed out the BLM folk

"Black Lives Matter in Africa"

[reddread]

4. controversial outrage inducing publicity stunt

they know exactly what they are doing.
making their racist base comfortable is a continuing theme.

[giftedgirl77]

7. The racist base of the Sander's Campaign?

[reddread]

15. physically gifted?

[giftedgirl77]

29. When you have nothing else.

🖕

[Nye Bevan]

10. Wow. Bill called BLM "ignorant liars"? That is awful.

Assuming, of course, that you are correct that he actually said that.

[morningfog]

11. No doubt you bathed in Bill's take down of the BLM woman.

[Nye Bevan]

12. I must have missed the "ignorant liars who support murderers" part.

I should rewatch the video.

[morningfog]

13. You probably have on replay.

Angry white man putting a young black woman in her place. An yeah. All the hallmarks.

[LexVegas]

18. Insincere outrage. We see it. nt

[mhatrw]

19. HAPPY SHINY RACIST PEOPLE nt

[nemo137]

20. Prefer the simpler explanation

Hillary did this bit because she's pretty tone-deaf about race and has never seen a rake she didn't want to step on.

[geek tragedy]

21. You think Hillary wrote that joke, as opposed to BdB and his people? Oy.

P.S. It wasn't actually racist.
P.P.S. Funny to watch Bernie supporters twist themselves in order to attack Clinton without attacking the guy who actually said the offensive words.

[morningfog]

22. I did not suggest Hillary wrote it.

She did screen it and agreed to deliver, and did deliver, the tone deaf punch line.

P.S. It was racist.

P.P.S. She delivered the punch line, it was one piece of a whole. She is the primary candidate.

[geek tragedy]

25. If it wasn't her idea, hard to make it part of her conspiracy.

And it was BdB who actually mentioned CP Time.

P.S. http://www.democraticunderground.com/118748680

P.P.S. You all are desperate to tag her as a racist because your candidate dropped the ball in his outreach to African-American voters. Sad!

[giftedgirl77]

26. Nuh uh, Bernie got arrested decades ago so he loves black folks.

everybody else is evil & out to take out the 99% because of Wall street. If you don't believe in Sander's you just aren't smart enough yo know what's good for you.

[Romulox]

23. Where are all the "brave" posters to tell us about the racism of supporting this candidate????? nt

[JackRiddler]

24. You may be assigning too much forethought to this.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[BreakfastClub]

30. Conspiracy theories, thy name is Berni Sanders' supporters. It's kind of sad. nt

[peacebird]

31. But it didn't divert attention. It merely proved they both feel free to denigrate people of color

In other words, at the core they feel superior than PoC. Not so suprising from someone who ardantly admired Goldwater and worked on his campaign.....
