Hillary Clinton's speech Tuesday at a historic black church in Missouri was mostly well-received by the audience, but three words angered some of the activists she was hoping to appeal to.
Clinton spoke to frequent applause about religion, racism, access to education, repairing communities and the shooting last week in Charleston, S.C.
The church where Clinton spoke, Christ the King United Church of Christ, is in Florissant, Mo., fewer than 5 miles from where the rioting and protesting happened in Ferguson.
Listen to Hillary Screw Up..
But she's now facing criticism on social media after using the phrase "all lives matter" — which has been used by some as push back to the phrase "black lives matter." The latter phrase, which hung on a banner outside the church, was widely used by protesters in Ferguson and other cities.
Before using the phrase, Clinton was retelling an anecdote about the lessons she learned from her mother.
"I asked her, 'What kept you going?' Her answer was very simple. Kindness along the way from someone who believed she mattered. All lives matter."
To some in the pews, what Clinton said fell flat. Or worse:
"With her statement that all lives matter, that blew a lot of support that she may have been able to engender here," said Renita Lamkin, a pastor at the St. John AME Church in St. Charles. She is white and while protesting in Ferguson was hit in the gut with a rubber bullet. Her passion comes in part because her children are African-American.

Black people are special and want to be told as such. Hillary spent time at a church to sooth the anger within the black community, letting them know how special they were, how their lives mattered, especially if they vote for her. So, she conjures up a brand new phrase with the same ineptitude as if she was sending out a fax and thus instead of soothing them she angers the black community by negating their sense of being special. Not that "Black Lives matter" but that "All Lives matter". Talk about not knowing what you're doing. Them folks were mighty PO'ed. You might as well have have told them not to be niggardly.
lives sometimes matter ping list
She gets it right accidentally, and the left HATES her as a result.

Pretty bad when white democrats have to campaign on the fact that they matter less than minorities.
White lives and the lives of those still in the womb, not so much.
I guess white lives DON’T matter then.

LOL, she's throwing ashtrays and screaming at her advisors over this. "Tell the truth, the truth, so fine, I tell the truth and look where it gets me!"
Ahahahahaha! And not only that, the psychic blowback from actually speaking the truth probably gave her a migraine! LOL!
Not quite strident enough, and too pretty, but good.
She could always cut herself to atone for her whiteness.
There are more layers of stupid in that then layers in an onion.
Bwahaha! We wish!
