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.

It was a lame attempt at political commentary by Toni Morrison (Bill Clinton as “black”).
Dang, she's just now figuring this out?

America’s fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say hello to Obama, Hillary :)
sw
Bill Clinton is Black but not black.
Clarence Thomas black but not Black.
See the difference?
no, he's purebread white trash.
The White House IS PUBLIC HOUSING. Bubba DID live in a project. The Arkansas governor’s mansion IS PUBLIC HOUSING. The Clinton’s have NEVER paid for their own housing.
Great read. Biting and beautiful. He’s SUCH a piker. How DID this man end up as President? And someone please explain to me once again just WHY we’re afflicted with his do-nothing Commie of a wife to this very day?
Oh, yeah. Ross Perot. *Rolleyes*
It's neither a right nor a privilege. It's part of the economic genocide perpetrated by Democrats against blacks for the past 45 years. The plan is to segregate them in public housing, destroy their families through welfare, keep their numbers low with abortion and to keep them beholden to the Democratic plantation. When blacks finally figure it out, there will be a day of reckoning for the Democratic Party.
That's a man.
My nightmare scenario: Does Ron Paul in 2008 = Ross Perot in 1992?
A few ignorant statistician-wanna-bees compare the stats of prison populations by race and then look at population stats. When they notice that there is a much higher proportion of blacks in prison (and all ethnic minorities) than are represented in the general population, they have a leftist orgasm and conclude that judges and juries are racist. And, if not that, then it's our racist society that leads the poor black "victims" (i.e. the black prisoner) to commit crime.
It's a joke. The elephant in the room, never mentioned because of all the P.C. bullsh*t, is that crime and gang-banger behavior is glorified by black culture. Also, the victim-mongers, like Jesse Jackson and Co., perpetuate the problem by keeping blacks in a perpetual state of feeling victimized and living with a big ol' block of wood on their shoulders. The sense of entitlement many blacks have is amazing, and does them no good whatsoever.
What a mess. The answer lies in people like Bill Cosby and Justice Thomas, but their voices are drowned by the people who benefit from this state of affairs, to the detriment of black Americans.
“Does Ron Paul in 2008 = Ross Perot in 1992?”
Welcome to my world.
I won’t talk serious politics or start the hard work of backing a particular candidate (though I do like Thompson & Hunter) with my blood, sweat and tears for a while yet, but you nailed it as far as I’m concerned.
And the ‘Rats are banking on this, as is the MSM.
Let’s prove them wrong. :)
Oh heck, are you kidding? That's Kofi's pocket change.
I don't know who uses it, but one of my favorite taglines here is "If you can't be part of the solution, there is lots of money to be made in prolonging the problem". There are lots of people prolonging the problem.
In his heart he is black.Mrs. Bill is black-hearted, too.
