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.
So I guess all lives don’t matter?
Certain democrat voters in swing states lives matter.
Ha! Likely the only time in her entire life she spoke the truth...
...and she gets in trouble for it!
God does have a sense of humor.
Live by the race card, die by the race card.
The Daleks are turning on Davros..
“Four legs good, two legs better.”
I was going to say that......after I stopped laughing at this story and what the left just did
Her mother told her that everyone needs a champion? I question if her mother really said that. How convenient that being a champion is Hillary’s campaign slogan.
But why is she a champion of everyday Americans? What about once a week Americans? Who will be their champion???
“You can’t make up this stuff.”
They’ve created an entitlement monster they can no longer control.
All animals are “victims” but some are more “victimized” than others.
For once, I defend Hillary. What the bastards are saying is that White lives don’t matter, something they have proved every time a non-White kills a White, or a middle eastern savage kills a normal person.
My take: all human lives matter.
She’s right that all lives matter. She’s also right that minority communities tend to be more dysfunctional. However, she errs if she thinks government can solve it. In fact, many reasonable arguments can be made that Democrat attempts to help, via big government, are actually making the situation worse.
BTW, in regards to segregation, my children should have the right to attend schools in the neighborhoods where they live, with people they know, regardless of the racial mix. Hillary wants to make everything fair. How does punishing my children by busing them across town help that? We tried that desegregation crap in the 70s and let me tell you, it was no fun being bussed into crime prone, violent schools where the focus was on not getting beat up rather than learning.
yup- do you really think the lemmings at black lives matter really believe black conservative lives matter one iota?
One of these long days on the campaign, I expect Hilary to let loose with her anger when a brain dead Obot saying something as dumb and unhelpful as this. Of course the next day, she’ll apologize and invite Mr. Imbecile to a blackbrunch.
This is not the first time this has happened.
The problem is the “All Lives Matter” can be used by Pro-Life groups....and liberals fear that more than anything.
So, they have to squash anyone who uses the phrase “All Lives Matter” quickly before it catches on.
Except for the lives of the unborn and those who were victims of Arkancide. Not to mention those who died in Benghazi. They obviously don’t matter. /s
The whole episode is more evidence that liberalism is a mental disease.
If you cant handle contradictions, then you cannot be a Democrat.
Both sides are correct.
All lives matter.
-AND-
Hitlary IS a racist.
