WTH is this?!

Racist Joke from Hillary Clinton and Bill De Blasio



Why would they think that this would be in ANY way funny? At ALL??

BDB: "oh gee, Hillary. Let's do a skit where I make a joke about being late but disguise it with subtle hints of racism."

Hillary: "Fun!"

This pasty white chick is enraged at the "joke". Arrogant and tone-deaf isn't attractive.

This really needs to go viral. Between this and Bill's BLM moment last week, they're really showing their true colors. Now that the Southern states voted they can go back to being racist assholes.

would be all over this, if Bernie had said this joke to Jane. Can you even IMAGINE???

For the next 36 hours, all we would hear is that Bernie is a racist and made a racist joke. And you know what? If Bernie did make that joke, he would deserve the fallout.

But Clinton can participate in these racist remarks and nothing will happen.

The rules are different for Bernie. David Brock came out and announced, "Black lives don't matter much to Bernie Sanders!" even before the Iowa Caucuses had happened. Brock can smear and race bait, even before Bernie's campaign has a chance to allow more diverse states to get to know him. And that's acceptable. In what universe is that even fair? It's disgusting.

PS--I've never heard of that expression "CP Time." Doesn't even ring a bell. Am I the only one?

I didn't understand the joke, but after looking it up, holy crap that is offensive!! The crap would hit the fan and be the main story on all major MSM if Bernie said that with calls for him to leave the race.

The black guy is the one saying you done good massa.

Of course no one from Camp Weather vane has much to say about this. Let's.me know they want it to sink really really badly on GD.Pee.

This was at a Goldman Sachs event according to the person that I found it from. Can you imagine what else we would discover from those transcripts? No wonder why she won't release them!!

In another thread, one of them claimed Bill's comments were "reasonable," and he gets a "pass." I am clear that this was a joke, but I agree that if Bernie had made this joke, there would be 100 hyperventilating threads about it from the usual suspects.
