Hillary Clinton Puts Republicans On Notice: It’s Not Enough To Remove The Confederate Flag-HRC ROOM

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Satah Jones

This is an excerpt mid story.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issued a statement refusing to back down from the issue, saying we have a lot of “unfinished” business left in order to confront and act on the inequalities that still exist in our country:

“Removing this symbol of our nation’s racist past is an important step towards equality and civil rights in America. The flag may soon no longer fly at the State Capitol, but there is still unfinished business in confronting and acting on the inequalities that still exist in our country. We can’t hide from the hard truths about race and justice. We must do everything in our power to have the courage to name them and change them.”

Her first major speech was about immigration reform. She has several Latinos in her staff, including a Dreamer. In her interview yesterday she talked again about immigration reform. And you must have missed this post yesterday:

Post-racial America?

We know better. Not even close.

Watch the 'flag' blowback coming. Even this is not easy.

Reading comments on other threads is quite disheartening. Some posters are marginalizing what hateful event took place because of the confederate flag. Over 600 thousands Americans died. The treatment of Blacks as non-human and property and the many deaths thereon. HRC thank you.
