Remember When Bill Clinton Was Opposed Because He Was Black? Liberals Do!

In the Atlantic, resident racial theorist Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the idea that opposition to President Bill Clinton in the 1990s was due to racial animus, just like today! Famously known as the “first black president,” Coates explains that racism caused people to turn against many of his policies, eventually leading to his impeachment.

She claims that it was opposition to Clinton’s supposed policies to help blacks that many Americans opposed him– and that racism animated most American politics:

White supremacy birthed American politics. In the 1990s, as today, the Democratic Party was perceived by many as the party of black interests.

Of course! Just as the anti-black Democrats did for 100 years! Oh, wait….

But it’s okay, because sexism will become the next racism in just three short years!

And if Hillary Clinton becomes president, she will have to cope with being perceived as a woman representing the interests of black people and women of all ethnicities. Sexism will never be off the stage. Nor will racism.

Whew! Almost thought we were in a post-racial society.

I thought they were against him because he was a crooked country bumpkin who was mentored by a racist and lied under oath, bribed others to lie under oath, and overall was a rotten individual...

What the hell is a Ta-Nehisi Coates?

Sounds like some new type of jock-itch ointment for the elderly straight from the forests of Laos.
