After being mercilessly heckled by agitators from the group Black Lives Matter, former President Bill Clinton accused them of defending murderers and drug dealers. The BLM protesters objected to the former presidents support for 1994s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which they contend disproportionately penalizes minorities.
Clintons argument that this law puts blacks who prey upon other blacks, who kill other blacks behind bars and saves the lives of countless would-be black victims. Those attacking this law cant really pose as advocates for black lives. They are advocates for criminals.
Concerned that the former president has drifted off message, the Hillary for President campaign sought to distance itself from his remarks. Bill signed that law more than 20 years ago, campaign manager Robby Mook reminded. Its understandable that he feels some need to defend it. But that is not Hillarys current position.
Mook sought to establish that it is Hillarys position that the bigger problem is white cops killing blacks. This is the same position as that of the BLM movement. Blacks killing blacks results from imposing unfair white values on the black subculture. Blacks violently fighting over turf stems directly from our drug laws. It is Hillarys position that the government ought to award designated areas to minority-run drug vendors, much like government has awarded gambling territories to Indian tribes. If this were done, black gangs could take turf interlopers to court rather than trying to enforce their rights through extra-legal means.
In related news, the Obama Administrations Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) threatened action against landlords who refuse to rent to convicted felons, calling it racist. Blacks are three times as likely to have criminal convictions as whites. Barring lawbreakers from rentals illegally imposes standards favorable to whites on racial minorities. Similarly, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that federal immigration officials may not deport habitual drunkards because drunkenness is a disease which society is obligated to treat, regardless of the nationality of the person suffering from the malady.
