I especially like the part where it talks about Bill Clinton&#8217;s attack on Sista Souljah:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Political smears: Sistah Souljah.<\/strong> Clinton was highly regarded by African Americans during the 1992 election cycle for his ability to articulate how racism impacted their communities. However, when it mattered most, he dropped the ball on race when it was completely unnecessary. It started when he blasted hop-hop artist\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sistersouljah.com\/\">Sistah Souljah<\/a>\u00a0over her comments in a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2010\/03\/31\/AR2010033101709.html\">Washington Post article<\/a>\u00a0about the Los Angeles\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1992_Los_Angeles_riots\">riots<\/a>, which were sparked by the acquittal of several Los Angeles policemen who beat truck driver Rodney King. \u201cIf black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Souljah claims she was misquoted. However, a few weeks later, both she and Clinton spoke at Jesse Jackson\u2019s Rainbow Coalition conference in Washington. Clinton used his appearance to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?c4460582\/sister-souljah-moment\">criticize her statements<\/a>, saying, \u201cWe can\u2019t get anywhere in this country pointing the finger at one another across racial lines.\u201d He compared her remarks to former KKK wizard David Duke.<\/p>\n<p>As Matt Bai\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/jeb-and-the-myth-of-the-sister-souljah-moment-001041049.html\">wrote for Yahoo<\/a>, Clinton was not going to lose black votes by calling the rapper out. Black people were (and still are) hyper loyal to the Democratic Party. But since Clinton is being reflective about his presidency, perhaps he needs to go back to 1992 and rethink why he used his time at the Rainbow Coalition to appeal to a segment of white voters who may have wanted to see him distance himself from Rev. Jackson, still a key leader in the Democratic Party at the time.<\/p>\n<p>If you read the full Washington Post coverage and listen to some of Sistah\u00a0Souljah&#8217;s commentary on white supremacy, you\u2019ll see she makes some valuable points about anti-blackness and structural racism that are worth considering. But Clinton chose not to delve into that. Instead, he preferred to sell a sistah out and play the saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Newsmax tells the story of the moments between when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/TheWire\/hillary-clinton-ashley-williams-superpredators\/2016\/02\/25\/id\/716093\/\">Ashley confronted Hillary at a fundraiser<\/a> and Secret Service officers escorted her out of the room. She&#8217;s the girl who asked the Secretary why she called black people &#8220;super-predators&#8221; and helped institute today&#8217;s system of mass incarceration. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Activist Ashley Williams confronted Hillary Clinton at a private fundraiser this week, and asked her to apologize for calling black youths &#8220;superpredators&#8221; in a 1996 speech. <\/p>\n<p>After paying $500 to attend the event in Charleston, Williams silently unfurled a fabric sign that had Hillary Clinton&#8217;s infamous quote from her January 25, 1996, speech on policing in Keene, New Hampshire: &#8220;We have to bring them to heel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m not a superpredator, Hillary Clinton,&#8221; the young Black Lives Matter activist said Wednesday night, according to Salon. &#8220;Can you apologize to black people for mass incarceration?&#8221; she asked the Democratic presidential front-runner. <\/p>\n<p>Clinton, who was on the microphone, read aloud her old words that were printed on the sign. &#8220;Can I talk? And maybe you can listen to what I say,&#8221; said Clinton. &#8220;Okay, you want to hear the facts, or you want to just talk?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that you called black youth &#8216;superpredators,'&#8221; Williams responded. &#8220;Please explain for the record. Please explain it to us. You owe black people an apology.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>After she was escorted out by Secret Service agents, Williams told The Huffington Post she wanted Clinton to &#8220;confront her own words. We did this because we wanted to make sure that black people are paying attention to her record, and we want to know what Hillary we are getting,&#8221; she explained. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hillary Clinton has a pattern of throwing the black community under the bus when it serves her politically,&#8221; Williams said in a statement prior to the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2016\/02\/26\/hillary_clinton_has_a_race_problem_and_its_resurfacing_at_a_dangerous_time\/\">Salon reports<\/a> on the incident:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what, if you will give me a chance to talk, I\u2019ll approach your subject \u2014 you know what, nobody\u2019s ever asked me that before,\u201d Clinton said, as Williams was physically removed by a white security guard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Hillary-supporting friends think I&#8217;m nuts for talking about how the Clintons have helped to destroy life for millions of Americans.
