Righteous rant from BLM fighter on Bill Clinton and his horrible comments:

https://www.facebook.com/heymerv/posts/10208201213681574?fref=nf

Yes, President Bill Clinton.
This movement unapologetically fights for drug dealers. Our brothers & sisters. Our mothers & fathers. Our cousins and friends. Us, too. Those you would cast off as murderous gangsters. The superpredators.
They were thrown away into prisons meant to strip them of their dignity as you pandered to the fears of white working-class voters. You told them they would be safer and a bit more free, distracting them from their own poverty. You even sold some of us that same story.
We lost a generation. If they came back, they came back broken. And we still haven't figured out how to make them whole when they come home. So they keep going back.
You, however, gained another term. Your friends got rich off the sweet chattel of prison labor and cell occupancy rate increases.

This is exactly my issue with all this BS! The Clinton's are acting with they were locking up super villains but it was mostly kids swept up in non violent crimes.

The sad thing is that some people are happy with what Bill said.

I'm glad he said this- Bill and others basically said some(many?) lives are worth less than others...and that he and other people in power get to say who those people are.

We are all human beings, and no life should ever be subject to devaluing. We are not the dollar bills in our pockets, we are our hearts, our voices, our hands and our history.

We are one.

Fuck them both. They use race when it suits their needs, just like republicons.

They buddy up to the black community when they need their votes. When conservative white voters get up in arms, the Clintons "evolve" to a more racially confrontational style. Then back again as need be.

I was shocked, given how Hillary used racial politics against then candidate Obama, that POC gave her overwhelming support. I still haven't figured that one out. Now that the black "firewall" in the South pretty much assured her nomination, the Clintons are free to appeal to the white redneck voters--and nothing does that better than a good, old fashioned Sister Souljah moment.
