Hillary Clinton to Young Black Voter Asking About Diversity: ‘Why Don’t You Go Run For Something

[Watcher]

Election cycle has been so long that its easy to forget just how dismissive and condescending she has been toward black issues and matters of social injustice. Particularly when interacting with young black activists.

No comment on the actual OP tho?

We covered this 6 months ago.

I saw nothing wrong with the interaction. The young Lady didn't want to hear what Hillary had to say so Hillary told her to go do something herself.

Looked and sounded more like Hillary didnt wanna hear what she had to say.

Any political office has to promote a white reality. Whites love it when we follow in their footsteps. It is like a pimp when he sees his hoe smiling. He knows that she is still asleep as long as she is smiling and happy.
Would have to beat her ass is she tries to separate and do for herself instead of only doing for the pimp.

Oh, believe me, I'm hip to the game!

I've been on this board long enough to know that close to half of BGOL are CACs or coons that wants Trump/RepubliKKKans to win these elections!

They'll do and say anything to try and sway our votes.

Where u R wrong at is..this is not coon or Republikkkan territory..85 percent of this board is CAC...brah

I used doubt this before but after seeing the blatant caping for the birther, racist, orange demagogue I have to agree with you.

 

[militantmidget]

NO.
She's right. Too many people are quick to run their mouths but too lazy to get in the fight.
She's talking about policy most of the time. She's asking her to get into the process. The SAME THING OBAMA SAYS.
Change the system from within.

So the girl who isn't a presidential candidate needs to do more, but the actual candidate can just remain with the status quo?

Ok gotcha. Expecting change from the government we elect is foolish. It's us who need to make policy change.

 

[Entrepronegro]

Not really. The reason the date matters (to me) is that if she was still being this dismissive after the fallout from having the protester removed from her fund raiser after she had been doing so well with the dnc and mothers of the movement, this would indicate no real growth or lessons learned. That would be very troubling to me. This was from around the same time of the fund raiser when she was getting constantly confronted by BLM protesters. I think she was insensitive, but I also understand being dragged for something you can't change where apologies have been rejected as insufficient.

Nothing would make me vote for Trump over Hillary. If Deez Nuts had actually made it to the national ballot they would have gotten my vote over Trump.

So you cool with Hillary stealing money from the people of Haiti?

 

[militantmidget]

Trump is calling for stop and frisk nationwide Today but this has you up in arms huh. Something said back on March.

Oh no she said run for something..,.


Let me go see your outrage in what trump says brb

And nothing...

Black ppl are getting killed by police with impunity. Imho, the police will do wtf they want to because they're not going to be punished under the law.

Trump saying there will be nationwide stop and frisk doesn't scare me because the cops can already do it if they want to. They already shooting us unarmed.

In all honesty, I believe blks in this country are btwn a rock and a hard place when it comes to who the next president will be.

I'm not a supporter of either candidate. I really don't think either of them give a damn about the blk community and/or blk ppl. At least Trump is open about his shit. He stands on it. Hilary pretends with the niggas until it's time for inauguration. Then it's back to the same ol same ol.

I thought that had already been debunked on here but basically anything short of a video surfacing with her tossing babies to alligators, she has my vote.

Hillary has always been about "policy" don't scream about what you want, tell her what she can do to make policy and turn that policy into law.

The same people who think Obama didn't do anything are constantly screaming yet NEVER seem to understand how their own government works. They don't understand the difference between federal and state, they don't understand what congress does (the reason they are absent during mid-terms)...this girl is wound into a not behind things she's heard but the second you ask her to join the fight. Turn that passion into a run so SHE CAN HELP change the laws then "that's too much"?

What exactly is screaming in Hillary's face going to do? And be honest, NO MATTER WHAT ANSWER she GAVE you wouldn't be satisfied right? RIGHT?

 

[Drayonis]

What federal laws can be created to effect things on the state level? Give us a list of things. People take you more seriously when you can connect the dots and explain what you want done. We know what's happening to us, what LAWS do you want passed, and which ones can make effect on the state level? And I'm not clowning your point of view, I'm with you.

 

[Ryokurin]

Sounds like good advice

It is, but people nowadays people have been conditioned by 'activists' like her to believe that they are totally helpless and their problems are someone or some group of people's fault. It isn't recent either, look at all the people who complain Obama hasn't changed everything. Change is a two way street. But when you got people saying out the gate they can't do anything because oppression, patriarchy or whatever buzzword that's out at the moment it's just proof they really don't want anything to change they just want attention.

The Facts
The Clintons played a major role in recovery efforts in Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Former president Bill Clinton was the public face of U.S. efforts in Haiti through several recovery roles. He was the United Nations special envoy to Haiti, co-leader of the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund (with former president George W. Bush) and co-chairman of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, a quasi-government planning body that approved hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. government-funded recovery projects.

The U.S. Agency for International Development supported the commission’s efforts, and Hillary Clinton led the U.S. response in Haiti as secretary of state. The Clinton Foundation raised more than $30 million for Haiti relief projects.

The Clinton family’s charitable work in Haiti has been a mix of success, disappointment and controversy. As our Washington Post colleagues reported, some Clinton-backed projects didn’t come through, such as a $2 million housing expo for thousands of new housing units. The Government Accountability Office found poor planning and unsustainable outcomes for taxpayer-funded projects through USAID, such as a $170 million power plant and port for the Caracol Industrial Park, which the Clinton Foundation promoted.

Hillary Clinton’s younger brother had connections to a mining project in Haiti, raising suspicions among Haitians about the Clintons’ motives. Luxury hotel projects paid by the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund promised construction jobs — but for Haitians, it represented another disconnect between Clinton-backed efforts and the realities of one of the poorest countries struggling to rebuild after one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the Western Hemisphere.

There’s real frustration among Haitians over failures in progress promised to them, not just by the Clintons but from the international community at large. In 2015, Haitian activists protested outside the Clinton Foundation in New York, claiming the Clintons mismanaged hundreds of millions in taxpayer money through the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission.

But there is no evidence that Hillary Clinton, through the Clinton Foundation, raised “hundreds of millions of dollars” for a hospital that was never built. We consulted groups that have been critical of recovery delays in Haiti, but they could not point to a specific Clinton Foundation-funded hospital project, either.

“We’ve tried to figure out what he might be citing as well, but we can’t provide you with a source of his claim because one doesn’t exist,” said Craig Minassian, a Clinton Foundation spokesman. “The Clinton Foundation never committed to build a hospital, nor did it accept, raise


Vice news reported on this too.

And you are on the list now.

Kind of vague....can you elaborate?

It has never been debunked cause it's true. You must have never read the whole story. If you want to give a crook your vote then go right ahead.

I guess you cool with it as well, go right ahead and vote for Hillary's crooked ass.

What's wrong with the pic? Does it make you feel some type of way? I'm biracial so it's a nice pic to me and plus it's a beautiful pic.

 

[Entrepronegro]

I can't. I'm not a U.S. Citizen. But if I could vote I would vote for the independent party.

 

[Drayonis]

I'm voting for the person most qualified to be president. And she is it. Fuck outta here Trump ain't shit and ain't you Canadian? (at least that's what you say) why don't you worry about your shit and stay the fuck out of our election? Go eat some maple leaves and shit...

 

[BKF]

I can't. I'm not a U.S. Citizen. But if I could vote I would vote for the independent party.

You can't be serious

 

[kinglickk]

She is right. What is to prevent any of us here to try to get in to public office to attempt to make real change?
Maybe she should sponsor a workshop of how to navigate the process so that we don't start blind. Talking without real action is bullshit.

Fuck that...she nor do any of us need that workshop from her. We can get that knowledge on our own. Let's stop asking white folk for every damn thing.

I hear you. So which one of US will step forward and offer up that info to those of us who wish to pursue that course of action?
Why don't more of us apply for jobs in law enforcement?

 

[Camille]

A vote for an independent party is a vote for Trump if you usually vote dem, or Hillary if you normally vote for the GOP. When you have a candidate with no chance in hell of winning, all it does is split the party vote.

It's better than giving it to Hillary and Trump though, I been stressing to a lot of my American associates, friends and co-workers to not vote for Hillary or Trump. I've actually been swaying them away from them, cause they are finally starting to see the truth's behind their bullshit.

I'm Canadian, but I own businesses and properties in America so the election is an issue for me as well.

There is no way you have interests here or a decent grasp of American politics if you are encouraging people to vote third party.

Why are you voting for Hillary? Is it cause she's a woman?

Other than that I don't see your cause for it cause the woman has lied her ass off constantly and you still trust in her

Trump is a damn liar as well, he is a closet racist also.

They've been attacking this woman for over 20 years. I remember when she was first lady and Rush Limbaugh would attack her for smiling. Right wing bullshit just sunk in is all. I don't think she lies any more than most people do. Trump lies like it's second nature.

Benghazi? Bullshit (fabricated attack on her because of an ambassadors got killed, news flash ambassadors get killed all the time in hostile countries)

Email server? More bullshit, fabricated by Republicans to get her on something...ANYTHING....the leader of the witch hunt in congress even said so.

Republicans will always make any Democrat out to destroy America and eat babies. We saw that play book with Obama.

Fuck outta here. She's getting my vote in November.

I'm sure there are people who voted for Obama because he was black, and I'm sure there are people who will vote for Hillary because she is a woman. I'm not one of them. They earned my vote because they are the most qualified. To even think like this means you don't have a high opinion of women. That tactic of woman shaming or black shaming in the case of Obama may work with those who really are voting for those reasons, but on the other hand if that is their motivation they aren't listening to policy ideas anyway. Had Bernie been the nominee he would have gotten my vote. Gary nor Jill have the experience needed and have said problematic things. The only advantage they have is that no one knows them or takes them seriously enough to vet them fully. Gary on Morning Joe disqualified himself. Jill has bashed Bernie. None of the choices are perfect.
