However, the progressives have been the ones down thru history that have been altruistic. It's the conservatives that you've aligned with that have brought us the problems of racism, etc.
Your attempts to paint all progressives as selfish seems odd. To what end are you working? The Clintons have never been helpful to the AA community. Ask Michelle Alexander or Black Lives Matter Activist Ashley Williams.
Capitalism hasn't been good to the AA community yet you look to Clinton to change the system of systematic racism. Her Prisons For Profits are bulging at the seams and will continue to grow for profits. They are making the inmates work for penneys and charging them for their incarceration. It's the new slavery and the Clintons are deep into it.
Far from resisting the emergence of the new caste system, Clinton escalated the drug war beyond what conservatives had imagined possible a decade earlier. As the Justice Policy Institute has observed, the Clinton Administrations tough on crime policies resulted in the largest increases in federal and state prison inmates of any president in American history.99 Clinton eventually moved beyond crime and capitulated to the conservative racial agenda on welfare. This move, like his get tough rhetoric and policies, was part of a grand strategy articulated by the new Democrats to appeal to the elusive white swing voters. In so doing, Clintonmore than any other presidentcreated the current racial undercaste. He signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which ended welfare as we know it, replacing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) with a block grant to states called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). TANF imposed a five-year lifetime limit on welfare assistance, as well as a permanent, lifetime ban on eligibility for welfare and food stamps for anyone convicted of a felony drug offenseincluding simple possession of marijuana.
