Clinton: 'My worries are not the same as black grandmothers'
CNN ^ | October 2, 2016 | MJ Lee and Dan Merica

Charlotte, North Carolina (CNN)Hillary Clinton told a black congregation here Sunday morning that her own grandchildren will never feel the fear that many African-American children do because they are white and privileged.

"I am a grandmother and like every grandmother, I worry about the safety and security of my grandchildren. But my worries are not the same as black grandmothers, who have different and deeper fears about the world that their grandchildren face," Clinton said.

In her remarks, Clinton quoted 9-year-old Zianna Oliphant, who garnered national attention when she tearfully spoke about the recent police killings of African-Americans at a Charlotte City Council meeting last week.

No, the FBI would put a black grandmother in jail for what you did.

Trump needs to point out to the Blacks in America how much money bill and Illary stole from the Haitian Blacks that should have gone to housing and other infrastructure to rebuild Haiti after the Sunami

Democrats are always emotional and syrupy. Their syrup hides the taste of their poison.

Why can’t politicians bring a positive message to Blacks about striving to be all they can be in a society committed to equal opportunity as a result of the country’s founding principles and their fulfilment through the struggles of the past, i.e., Civil War, Civil Rights movement, etc.?

Why can’t politicians bring a positive message to Blacks..

An excellent question and, of course, we both know the answer; if actual positive economic progress were made in the black communities they would flee the ghettos and move their families to where it's prosperous and SAFE.

Unfortunately for democrats these folks would also start voting Republican in order to better their lives.

This is something the democrats can't allow to happen, so they speak down to them with empty promises and false platitudes.

Let's hope these folks wake-up!

The little I saw of her talk before that congregation gave me the feeling that it just didn’t look like her. I used Bing to see reruns, but they kept zeroing out on me.

I’m sure I’m one of the conspiracy theorists — but -———

However, one thing I did see was the congregation. Only the first 2 or 3 pews were filled with sparse seating elsewhere.

“And I didn’t think churches could talk politics.”

Only when one of those snake-handlin’ REPUBLICANS has somehow garnered some Pulpit Time!

Then, it’s a sin! A SIN, I tells ya!

*SPIT*

Am I remembering correctly? Didn’t Slick spend a LOT of his campaign time pontificating in black churches all across the land?

And wasn’t everyone all a-twitter (BEFORE Twitter!) when those churches were later burned down?

GAWD, I HATE THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE EVIL! THEY. ARE. SCUM.

Yeah, it’s only black people that have to fear crime. I live in a near barrio/ghetto, but since I’m a privileged whitie, I walk around with an “Escape from Crime Scot-free Card”. You know how it’s issued to all whities at birth and all.

You know what, Hillary? You are a privileged person. But it’s not because of your race. It’s because you have lied, schemed, been immoral and evil, and exploited your whole damn life. Now with all your Clinton Foundation billions, you will never have to feel the consequences of the policies and laws you have foisted upon millions of Americans. You are a worthless piece of pandering crap.
