Bill Clinton is not black.
It seems odd that I would have to make that statement; I have nothing against Bill Clinton, but I do have something against those who, for whatever reason, have convinced themselves that Clinton is not only black, but was also, "The First Black President."
Let's ponder this, shall we? Those people who publicly state that Bill Clinton was the first black president are saying that Bill Clinton has shared in the black experience.
They are saying that members of Bill Clinton's family came over on slave ships with Kunta Kinte.
Bill Clinton rode on the back of buses with Martin and Rosa, and I can almost hear Clinton's reply when asked by his white friends why he didn't use "Whites Only" rest rooms: "Why would I do that," I'm sure he replied, "You know I've got to pee with the Coloreds."
And let's not forget all of the wonderful advances black people made while Clinton was in office.
Although there were some, Clinton wasn't exactly the poster child for black empowerment.
Bill Clinton's 1994 crime bill introduced the "three strikes and you're out law" and stiffened sentences for drug offenders. Also in the crime bill, Clinton told those involved with drug activities in public housing projects they only get one strike because "public housing is a privilege; abuse it and you're out."
The 1994 crime bill contributed to the massive incarceration boom. According to the Department of Justice, under Clinton, the U.S. prison population swelled to nearly 2 million - with blacks being the main victims.
Isn't that something? According to Clinton, "Public housing is a privilege." So now it's a privilege to live in the projects. Well, if it's such a privilege, I'm sure Clinton wouldn't mind living in the projects and accepting welfare along with all of his other black "brothers and sisters."
Speaking of welfare, we all know that Clinton also ended "welfare as we know it" with the passing of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or the welfare reform law as most call it. However, in doing research, looking at the census reports for the Clinton years, my personal experience working with the welfare-to-work program and reading numerous articles written about welfare reform, I have found that one author put it best when he said, " The booming economy of the 1990s hid the worst impact of this law as former recipients were forced into sub-minimum wage "workfare" jobs in order to get benefits. But the onset of recession as Clinton left office hit workfare workers hard - and welfare "deform" left them with nowhere to turn when the economic bottom fell out."
But that's not all. I can't talk about Bill Clinton's love for his "black race" without mentioning Rwanda. You remember what happened in Rwanda? If you don't, then I suggest you rent the movie "Hotel Rwanda" and be prepared to be thoroughly disgusted.
Bill Clinton not only refused to intervene to save over one million people from being hacked to death, but he even declined to convene his Cabinet to discuss the crisis. According to public documents:
Clinton refused to provide jamming aircraft to block Hutu power radio transmissions that orchestrated the massacres. The $8,500-per-hour cost to the United States was determined by the president's administration be too exorbitant (since 10,000 Rwandans were being killed each day, the cost came to $20 per life).
Eight African nations, fed up with American inaction to stop the butchery, agreed to send in their own intervention force. All they asked from the United States was the use of 50 armored personnel carriers, but the Clinton administration refused to loan them and instead demanded $15 million, leaving the carriers on a runway in Germany while the United Nations scrambled to find the money. And while all this happened, an average of 334 poor black Africans were dying every hour.
So I repeat, Bill Clinton is not black. As a matter of fact, I liken Bill Clinton to pork. He's the "other white meat" that black people have been fooled to believe is better for them, just because he happens to have a little more flavor.
Well, I am sure we are NOT responsible for the Rwandan massacre/genocide. However, you & most of us here know that if this happened under Dubya's watch (or any Republican President), he better damn be sure he does something to end that crisis or else he will be held responsible of murder - no, mass murder.....
Isn't that something? According to Clinton, "Public housing is a privilege." So now it's a privilege to live in the projects. Well, if it's such a privilege, I'm sure Clinton wouldn't mind living in the projects and accepting welfare along with all of his other black "brothers and sisters."
Let's parse.
Isn't that something? According to Clinton, "Public housing is a privilege." Having someone else pay for your housing IS a privilege. So now it's a privilege to live in the projects. When "the projects" were built, they weren't "the projects" in most cases they were actually quite nice and clean housing units that, again someone else paid for. Well, if it's such a privilege, I'm sure Clinton wouldn't mind living in the projects and accepting welfare along with all of his other black "brothers and sisters." No one built a ghetto, the ghetto is what the neighborhood becomes when it's handed over to a culture that has no respect for themselves or others. I'd love it if someone decided to build me a home free of charge then pay me to live in it. Then again, I'd probably screw it up by going and getting a job on top of it just to better myself, and mess up the whole "great society" plan.
Well, add to the fact that Bubba has his office in Harlem....
>>>I liken Bill Clinton to pork. He’s the “other white meat” that black people have been fooled to believe is better for them, just because he happens to have a little more flavor.<<<
It’s a beautiful thing to see a conservative blossom right before your eyes, isn’t it?
What ya bet wanna bet this author voted for Bill both times
(if he/she is old enough — and will vote for Hillary this time — if she makes it to the nomionation?
If the blacks who went to prison are “the main victims,” what is the correct term for the people who were assaulted, robbed, raped, car-jacked and murdered by these “main victims”?
You are right about that... that's for sure!
And just for the record, it was proven that much/most of Alex Haley's "Roots" is a fabrication.
“Eight African nations, fed up with American inaction to stop the butchery, agreed to send in their own intervention force.”
Just damn!
Yes, that struck me too.
That is UN pocket change.
I took it as a socialist, playing group politics and a victim mentality, realizing that Clinton "wasn't black enough."

I think you're right.

Yes, there is a lot of that in this article, but the first crack in the armor has occurred. This writer is starting that first bold step toward individual thinking and rationality. The writer has decided that the groupthink of the Left isn’t sufficient to explain what he’s seeing with his own eyes. I don’t expect him to give up his liberalism just yet, but once he’s started down the road of thinking for himself, a whole new world awaits.
Shhh....dont’ contradict the twit when she has her “Blacks are the only victims” hat on.....
