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.
Good to read!

“We went from “Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud,” to “It’s Kinda Hard Out Here for a Pimp.” We have embraced this thug mentality while letting go of our dignity and pride.
When will it end?”
Pull-eeze.
Spare us. How could Americans ever have elected these miserable poseurs?
I agree.
I used to attend a Bible study with a mostly black group of women (most weeks I was the only white face). It gave me a great appreciation of what these women were dealing with re their kids. It was sad, because they hated that gang banger culture and did their best to keep their kids away from it. But it’s really hard when they are surrounded by that.
Until the black community as a whole comes to terms with this issue they will continue to see large numbers of their sons in jail and their daughters pregnant at an early age.

Recall, he originally picked lavish digs in mid-town that cost more than the (publicly funded) post presidential offices of all the other living presidents combined. (In a sweet-heart deal with a major Clinton contributer.)
The ensuing highly negative publicity drove him to the stunt of moving his office to a luxury development in Harlem.

I have never been one to care about labels, so if you are politically correct, are easily offended, or just feel that all illegal immigrants should be treated better than American citizens, then please, stop reading now; all others, fasten your seat belts....
I have been trying to find a reasonable explanation as to why I should be more sympathetic to the plight of the illegal immigrants who are just coming to the United States for a better life. But as of today, I haven’t found one....
Think of it this way. Suppose Rosa Parks and Dr. King met and decided that since blacks could not ride in the front of buses or eat at lunch counters, then black people should begin entering and living in Canada illegally, and then begin demanding that Canada change its laws to appease the blacks who were mistreated in the United States.
I have e-mailed her with appreciative comments and links to this thread. I hope she drops by.
Thank you Ms. Robinson for your lucid, articulate writing. If you and Anne Coulter are not buddies, you sure should be.

I too sent a note to the same address.
Did you see the article linked in #85?
Good read!
Not black?
Oh, skin color . . . not heart . . .
There, fixed.
I hope she evolves into a true icon of dignity and respect herself , in the way she is pointing out the real problems and how they need to be handled!
He has a heart and a soul? Who knew?
That’s a great picture of Hillary. You can’t see her face.
If people would actually vote instead of staying home, things could change. I believe only 43% of Americans actually vote.

There was no such person. He was made up by good old lying, plagerizing Alex Haley who had to admit it and pay another author real money in consequence.
I CURSE the city council members of the City of Annapolis, Maryland who put up that stupid memorial to Haley on the harbor waterfront.
I get the feeling that the sista is indirectly responding to Andrew Young’s comment about Ol’ Slick being blacker than Barack Hussein.
Bill Clinton Is Not Black
He isn’t? But didn’t he say he was? I’m confused. Who am I to believe, Bill Clinton or the MSM?

ARE blacks STUPID or are they IGNORANT of these facts??
