"...at this point,do I still have to cater to blacks?"

It appears that Hillary Clinton just doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone… or old habits do indeed die hard.
The failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee took in a movie on Saturday with dear husband Bill Clinton, and turned to social media afterwards to engage in some old fashioned pandering.
(Someone should remind Hills that she’s no longer running for office.)
“Saw Black Panther with Bill this afternoon & loved it. Beautiful film, lots of action, and a great message. Don’t miss it!” she tweeted.
The film “Black Panther” is seen as a groundbreaking celebration of black culture and many black people are moved by the movie, as well they should be. It has been described as “a revolutionary step forward for black superheroes” by Rolling Stone.
All of which explains Clinton’s eagerness to go public with her praise.
But given the circumstances — and her shameful claim on the campaign trail that she carries hot sauce around in her purse — it’s understandable if black Americans feel insulted over Clinton using the movie to score political points.
That sentiment was captured in a single tweet.
“Glad you enjoyed the film. But your days of using Black culture as a means of keeping us enslaved are over,” tweeted Temia Brinson, of Rejoice Magazine.

Thanks for the tip Hillary.
Have you seen 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi yet?
Lots of action, and a great message. Take Bill too.

this is an even more repugnant comment when taken in context of her demands that African nations "GET OVER" colonialism. https://t.co/aEIC09ju2W

“Bill is a political genius compared to her”
Bill is buffoon who was enabled by gutless suckups.
Like through a trap door, she needs to drop.
I don’t think she even went to the movies with ol’ Bill. He’s never anywhere near her.
“Hot sauce,” Clinton said.
The interviewing host on the Breakfast Club radio show poked fun at Clinton — telling her people might consider her answer pandering to young and African-American voters by referencing a popular Beyoncé lyric, but in reality, Clinton’s well-documented hot sauce fanaticism started long before her presidential bid.
“I eat a lot of hot peppers,” she told 60 Minutes in 2008. “I, for some reason, started doing that in 1992 and I swear by it.”
While living at the White House in the 1990s, Clinton had a collection of more than 100 hot sauces and on the 2008 campaign trail she was known for popping jalapeños ― raw.
Bill is buffoon who was enabled by gutless suckups.
Not necessarily a contradiction.
Bill had some real political instincts. Hillary doesn't.
And as for the suckups, every politician has them. Every upper-level political candidate is as much a group as an individual.
The differences between candidates have much to do with whether they're smart enough to pick competent advisors and smart enough to listen to the ones who know what they are talking about.
Hillary strikes out: no good political instincts, no talent in choosing competent advisors, not enough sense to listen to them.
For whatever reason, Bill Clinton wasn't as incompetent as his wife is.
You must be from the west coast. There’s a whole universe of cayenne-based hot sauces all across the south and even in the northeast that have nothing to do with Mexican food.
I wonder how many blacks potential has been thwarted because of Affirmative Action? Holding one to a lower standard never works out well.
On the plus side: Even though the movie did not get the publicity and praise it deserves from the black and female mathematician communities, THANK GOD the story has been saved in history.
As an aside, Michelle made a big deal about bringing her daughter to a Beyoncé concert. Wouldn't it have been nice if she brought her to see Hidden Figures, and made a big deal about it?
“When called by a panther,
don’t anther.”

There’s a long tradition of packing a little heat in condiments or cooking sauces in southern and soul food not to mention Louisiana Cajun. Tabasco, Crystal, Texas Pete, Frank’s, there’s a list as long as your arm, they’re made in the United States for American dishes and they’re used on practically any meat, even many green vegetables.
They be speakin' Ebonics and have plenty of fatherless kids in this film? Mocking kids that want to learn and do well in school as "Actin' white"?
It was clear going back to Bill’s debates with Bush and Perot that Clinton owned that room.
That certainly wasn’t the case with Hillary against Trump, she just came off as whiny.
I enjoyed “Meteor Man” the first time I saw it. It was pretty funny. I liked the part where he discovers he can see through clothing, calls the nurse thinking the hot one will show up and he gets Fred Sanford’s sister-in-law instead.
"...at this point,do I still have to cater to blacks?"
Clarification: should have been, ‘From October ‘16.’
Maybe Ted can loan his to her, he doesn't need it anymore.
She should be tarred. And feathered. And then put on the rack. And ignored.
Tabasco is nuclear compared with Texas Pete, which has replaced ketchup on my fries, scrambled eggs, or Mexican food.
Anyway, whoever said Hillary carries sauce (i.e., booze) in her purse is most likely correct.
They weren't for her.
Where do you think her dragons get the fire-breathing from?
I saw an interview with Robert Townsend (aired last month) from the time Meteor Man came out. It was on Dick Cavett’s show (either half hour or an hour).
And my son know she every single one of them. The sauce goes on everything before he even tastes it...the way people used to automatically salt their meals before tasting the dish.
