Wu-Tang's RZA gives HRC an awesome endorsement!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/13/wu-tang-s-rza-is-with-hillary-clinton-she-s-the-smartest-one-in-the-room-yo.html
“I think Mrs. Clinton is qualified,” RZA told The Daily Beast this week in Los Angeles. “The reason I think she’s qualified is because I think she’s smart. I watched all the candidates, and even when you had Mr. Sanders, whom I respect, she’s the smartest one in the room, yo!”
“She has the experience and she has the wisdom,” he continued, praising the Democratic presidential nominee he vows to vote for in November. “When they say the best man for the job… we keep forgetting that it says, ‘All men are created equal.’ That means black man, brown man, red man, yellow man, white man, wo-man. All created equal. And I would love to see that practice—that principle—not just because it’s her, but because right now she’s the most qualified. We don’t have anyone more qualified to choose from.”


How cool is that?

RZA also criticized FOX's racist Asian segment that recently aired.
Given the impact cross-cultural influences had on his own life—Wu-Tang is named for another Gordon Liu martial arts flick, Shaolin and Wu Tang—RZA blasted the racist Fox News segment in which Jesse Watters went trolling in New York’s Chinatown just to mock the Asians and Asian-Americans he found on the street.
“I think that’s so foolish,” RZA said. “In today’s age no culture can ridicule any other culture. You cannot find a culture on earth that has not been inspired and influenced by another culture. How can you deny beauty, unless you’re so ugly? If you’re ugly inside the only thing you see is a reflection of yourself, and you can’t see the beauty because there’s so much ugliness in you.”


"Ugly inside" is a PERFECT description of both Jesse Waters and his overlord Bill O'Reilly.
