Activists from the Black Lives Matter movement finally got some face time with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and things did not go well. Footage from the conversation, which took place in New Hampshire on August 11, was finally released late Monday night and shows Hillary getting testy with the black activists.
“The piece that’s most important, and I stand here in your space and I say this as respectfully as I can,” Julius Jones, one of the activists, said to Hillary Clinton, “but if you don’t tell black people what we need to do, then we won’t tell you all what you need to do.”
“Well, I’m not telling you,” Clinton responded. “I’m just telling you to tell me.”
“What I mean to say is that this is and has always been a white problem of violence,” Jones continued. “There’s not much that we can do [as black people] to stop the violence against us.”
That’s when the conversation got awkward.
“Respectfully, if that is your position, then I will talk only to white people about how we are going to deal with the very real problems,” Clinton snapped back, eliciting a wide-eyed look of horror from Daunasia Yancey, the founder of Black Lives Matter in Boston who was standing directly to Hillary Clinton’s left.
“That’s not why I mean. That’s not what I mean. That’s not what I mean,” Jones told Clinton. “What you just said is a form of victim blaming. You were saying what the Black Lives Matter movement needs to do to change white hearts is–”
“Look, I don’t believe you change hearts,” Clinton shot back. “I believe you change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate. You’re not going to change every heart. You’re not.”

I was wondering why the press quickly stopped talking about Hillary's "talk to white people" comment.
I see she’s been busy with damage control:

here’s her “new” angle :
““I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families, who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about ... how to really protect themselves, when they are the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police,” Clinton said.”
Whoa! Watch out for that one, Hillary.
Her brother-in-law, Roger could smooth things over.
Oh, show we those statistics. I could use a laugh.
Where are all the Black bodies?
I know that old axiom about wrestling with pigs but no one ever told me how it works when they are both pigs!
It is out again now because HRC wants it out—this is supposed to prove he is not all about blacks and women. This, she fancies, was her “Sistah Soulja” moment. This is orchestrated, I would say.
This is probably the best SPEAKING interaction I’ve ever seen Hillary have. She pushed back and was cogent without getting flustered. The head nodding in the beginning was overboard... is this being released now to give the public a more natural view of her?
“Daunasia Yancey, the founder of Black Lives Matter in Boston “
—
Yancey is a big name in Boston black politics-—Dems,of course.

Watch Hillary tell the truth—she hates emails because of all of her investigations. This is from 2000, just about a minute long:
