ANALYSIS: Stunning Lack of Diversity at Hillary Clinton Campaign Events

Washington Free Beacon ^ | 5/26/2015 | Andrew Stiles

[RightGeek]

There is a stunning lack of racial diversity among the pre-screened “everyday Americans” at Hillary Clinton’s campaign events, a Free Beacon analysis found. Clinton plans to meet with minority women small business owners in South Carolina on Wednesday, but the roundtable events she has hosted since announcing for president on April 12 have been, for the most part, excruciatingly white. These photos, according to our analysis, speak for themselves:

Roundtable Discussion at Kirkwood Community College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa (April 14, 2015)

Analysis: White

Interaction with Everyday Americans at the Tremont Grille, Marshalltown, Iowa (April 15, 2015)

Analysis: Profoundly White

I nominate Glozell1 for the next carefully staged Hillary campaign event. She'd add a lot of color.

Mrs. Bill wants white people to vote for her. Negroes are a given. She doesn’t have to include them in anything at all other than the rhetoric. The same goes for Latinos. She very needs Europe derived white people to vote for her, though. She may even figure out that she could overtly run as the White People’s Candidate and still get the black and Latino and Jewish vote, so long as she retains her understood credentials as a non-nominal Communist and as being cleverly and highly successfully corrupt.

Could it be that Hillary hates black and brown people?

Mrs. Bill doesn't need them at her rallies. She needs to appeal to white people.the B&Bs are a given.

Looks like she needs to round up a few F.J.B. to Politically diversify...

Iowa? There are only two Negros in the whole state!

Segregationist William Fulbright was one of Bill Clinton’s mentors.

"Could it be that the population of the USA is overwhelmingly white?"

Impossible. I watch commercials on television every night and I'm certain that the population of the country is exactly 50% black.

What was the first presidential election that was decided by the black vote? In the early elections virtually all the voters were white men (with very small numbers of black men voting in a few states but probably not enough to shift the outcomes). Perhaps a couple of the close late-19th-century races may have been affected by the black voters (voting Republican).

The 1876 election is a special case but the black vote in the three Southern states still occupied by federal troops may have determined the outcome (making it possible for Hayes to contest the outcome and ultimately win when the 15-man commission voted on party lines to award him all 20 contested electoral votes).

The black vote started to be majority Democrat under FDR. Maybe that tipped the 1948 election to Truman and the 1960 election to Kennedy.

In her defense (though it pains me to defend her), it is IOWA.

Beat me to it.

Same thing here in NH. She was in my town this past week at some persons house. They are relatively newcomers to town. I think they have lived in Amherst for 7-8 years. I am sure there was not a black or Hispanic person invited to the house(my invitation must have been lost in the mail). NH is only about 3% Negros, 5% Hispanic , and 5-6% Asian. Most of the Asians are business owners.

Amherst is a upscale suburb of Manchester/Nashua. It is a bedroom community with a population of 12K incorporated in the mid 1700’s. I think there may be about 3 Negros in town. The only Hispanics in town are landscapers. There are several Asian families. Most are doctors, dentists and other professionals.

While Iowa may not have many blacks as compared to other states, they have plenty in the college towns.

And there are plenty of the various browns in Iowa around who would love to show up for a small speaking fee.

And why no Asians?

Like going to a folk festival. Nothing but maggot infested, tofu eating, dirty hippie old white people.

Who knows, who cares. I don’t like to play the multicultural and diversity games, leave them to the liberals.

The first voters were freemen. White landowners. Not even all whites were given the vote and certainly not women of any color.

[Verginius Rufus]

During the colonial period the voters would have been white male landowners, but in the 19th century more and more states did away with the property requirement. I think by the time of Andrew Jackson's presidency that had largely disappeared (maybe South Carolina still had it). Colonial Maryland barred Catholics from voting--that only changed in 1776.

Some states in the early Republic allowed free black men to vote--even a slave state like Tennessee (until it adopted a new constitution in the 1830s). New Jersey let some women vote in the early 1800s (I think they may have had to own property). That did not last too long--maybe a couple of decades.

Alexis de Tocqueville was in Philadelphia on election day and noticed that no black men were coming to the polls--he was told they had the right to vote (but were afraid to exercise that right).
