Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton found herself on the receiving end of a politically correct firestorm after speaking on race issues at a church in Florissant, Mo., near Ferguson. What caused the outcry? Three words: all lives matter.What do you think?
While speaking at the United Church of Christ, Hillary said:What do you think?
The truth is equality, opportunity, civil rights in America are still far from where they need to be. Our schools are still segregated. In fact more segregated than they were in the 1960s. Nearly 6 million young Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are out of school and out of work. Think of that. Neither learning nor working. And the numbers are particularly high for young people of color. Statistics like these are rebukes to the real progress we have made. And they pose an urgent call for us to act publicly, politically, and personally.2
We should start by giving all of our children the tools and opportunities to overcome legacies of discrimination to live up to their own God-given potentials. I just saw some of the young people attending camp here at church down in the basement. And I was thrilled to see that because that is the kind of commitment we need more of, in every church, in every place, until every child is reached. And I hope we can take that as a cause for action.What do you think?
I learned this not from politics but from my mother who taught me that everybody, everybody needs a chance and a champion. She knew what it was like to have neither one. Her own parents abandoned her. By 14, she was out on her own working as a house maid. Years later when I was old enough to understand, 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. (Emphasis added.)5
Activists were upset over Hillary’s statement that all lives matter because the popular chant and hashtag from “social justice warriors” is “#BlackLivesMatter” not all lives.
The implosion is progressing. Today Obama decried a protester in “HIS HOUSE”. The audacity and/or ignorance of that man is amazing.
“They’ve created an entitlement monster they can no longer control.”
Bingo. “Should’ve got our own votes”
Hillary’s about to discover what a pain going after the black vote will be.
Sure, they turned out for Obama, and enthusiastically; but he’s one of their peeps, while Hillary is just another rich entitled honkey. They’re gonna show up in droves to support her??
No way. Hillary’s strategy of pandering to minorities while ignoring majority white workers means she’s doomed.

OBAMA SHUTS DOWN LGBT AMNESTY PROTESTER: ‘YOU ARE IN MY HOUSE. SHAME ON YOU!’
Dear Obie,

SIncerely
M,M,
Left eating the left. GRIN.
More popcorn.
Except the ones that haven’t quite made it out of the womb yet.
Somebody at campaign HQ got a lamp thrown at them.
Except Chris Stevens.
Certain Crony Kapitalists’ money matters.
H! is a champion crook.
My dog matters more than H!.
Things got to change—some Blacks are becoming the animals racist said they were. Turn to Jesus! Empty your hate and seek forgiveness. White people are not your enemy—at least not a majority of them. Go back to your churches—they led you through the Civil Rights Movement in the dark days of the 1960s—and they can help you now. We are all in this together—riots will not help—nor will violence. Forgive any and all real or imagined examples of racism! Ask yourself What would Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. say and do?
