It appears that Hillary Clinton just doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone… or old habits do indeed die hard.
The failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee took in a movie on Saturday with dear husband Bill Clinton, and turned to social media afterwards to engage in some old fashioned pandering.
(Someone should remind Hills that she’s no longer running for office.)
“Saw Black Panther with Bill this afternoon & loved it. Beautiful film, lots of action, and a great message. Don’t miss it!” she tweeted.
The film “Black Panther” is seen as a groundbreaking celebration of black culture and many black people are moved by the movie, as well they should be. It has been described as “a revolutionary step forward for black superheroes” by Rolling Stone.
All of which explains Clinton’s eagerness to go public with her praise.
But given the circumstances — and her shameful claim on the campaign trail that she carries hot sauce around in her purse — it’s understandable if black Americans feel insulted over Clinton using the movie to score political points.
That sentiment was captured in a single tweet.
“Glad you enjoyed the film. But your days of using Black culture as a means of keeping us enslaved are over,” tweeted Temia Brinson, of Rejoice Magazine.

Thanks for the tip Hillary.
Have you seen 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi yet?
Lots of action, and a great message. Take Bill too.

this is an even more repugnant comment when taken in context of her demands that African nations "GET OVER" colonialism. https://t.co/aEIC09ju2W

I remember that Saturday Night Live skit
Back when SNL was funny!
Funny you mention H Pylori. I just finished the two week treatment of heavy doses of two antibiotics plus a PPI antacid. I think Ive suffered about two decades with constant GI complaints to my doc. I finally did my own research and insisted on the stool test which came back positive. I feel like a new man!
She didn't give Bill's last name. Maybe she saw the movie with Bill Maher, or Bill Richardson, or Bill Cosby.
LMAO.
The Clintons’ era in the Democratic Party may be limited....
Unless Hillary runs again in 2020.......
She will keep running until she wins- even if they have to drag her decaying corpse out in the year 2050
The super hero predates the racist group by 6 months.
You’re right - anti-black, anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic...
Perhaps that is the very way how blacks have felt for treated for some time?
Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner!
The real Katherine could pass for white. A lot of the scenes in the movie never happened.
Saw BP this weekend. It was a great film. But the plot line and story was the same as lion king.
Actually a sane, normal comment to me. And coming from her, that is something.
Thank you.
It’s disgusting that even thought so many of her supporters know she is thoroughly rotten, they don’t care.
Finally saw black panther ... good movie, but probably I was a victim of too much hype.
I think all this “celebration of black culture” is liberals projecting their values on the movie. It primarily is an action and adventure movie, not a political one.
In fact the deep political thrust is not about race relations at all.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
The struggle in the minds of Wakandans is whether to keep hidden and keep to themselves (nationalism, populism) or to share their technological prowess with the rest of the world (globalism). Whether this is accidental because it is featured in the comics or intentional I don’t know. But clearly the writers are coming down on the side of rejecting populism. If there was any heavy hitting political theme that is the theme I saw.
The race stuff was kind of clumsy, and I was never totally sure what the antagonist was getting at....did he feel that because the king shared his skin color, that Wakandans should have interfered when slavery was an issue in the US Republic?
You actually admit you went to see that crap?
Ha ha. Well, my girls wanted to see it. It wasn’t that bad.
